From the Manufacturer Sydney Love is the perfect match between everyday practicality and head-turning allure. Each bag is an expression of creativity with its vibrant colors and bold patterns, all taken from hand-painted designs and imaginative collages. The designer, Christine DeGennaro is based in Florence, Italy. After years of designing clothing in New York City and teaching at the Parsons School of Design, Christine relocated to Florence to pursue her love of painting. In the process, she caught the bug for designing handbags and accessories. Capturing the sophistication of Italian fashion and the uniquely American passion for fun, Sydney Love is a reflection of Christine herself--original, inviting, brilliant and unpredictable.
