Rosa Rims makes sunglasses and accessories for people who don’t take themselves too seriously, love the finer things in life, and show off their individuality through their wardrobe and accessories. It’s for anyone who wants to stop losing, breaking, or dropping their glasses—and who only buys high-quality, well-made things they love.
Rosa Rims offers Italian-made, premium-quality sunglasses with an innovative chain system to keep your glasses safe, so you feel confident and never have to worry about where they ended up. Sunglasses with multi-purpose chains rooted in nostalgia and the beautifully slow pace of our grandparents’ generation—when things were built to last and no one rushed through a glass of wine. Inspired by the women who’ve stopped caring what anyone thinks and started living like themselves on purpose. Rosa Rims is for people who love beautiful things but won’t baby them. Who like their style smart, their accessories useful, and their lives a little messy—in the best way. rosarims.com
Florentine fourth-generation jeweler Carolina Bucci makes inspiring, distinctive jewelry designed with a reverence for craftsmanship and executed with elegance. Every piece of fine jewelry is created in the family’s workshops in the goldsmiths’ quarter of Florence, where Bucci can sit side by side with craftsmen to work out how each new design can be realized. This simple, direct relationship between creative and creation is at the very heart of what Carolina Bucci stands for. The first collection from Carolina Bucci, Woven, was created using a centuries-old loom originally designed to weave textiles, but adapted to weave gold and silk threads. The creations are interwoven with the personal stories of the designer as well as the rich heritage of the Bucci family. Begin to tell your story at carolinabucci.com.
