"Having been in factories throughout the world, I know which countries are at the top of their game in artistry and product quality at the best value. I want La Bella Vita to offer the best value that fits our lifestyle statement, and our quality, artistic & service standard. This is why our hand-painted ceramic dinnerware, serve ware, gift ware, fine flatware and glassware are from Italy, durable stoneware from Portugal, linens from China & India, exquisite aluminum serve ware from Mexico...the list goes on. I want my customers to have access to what I've experienced...to many countries' specialties and their people's proud heritage. Our suppliers need to fit our service standard to meet the demand of our customers and bridal registry, and fit our lifestyle niche... And the world works together to create "The beautiful life!-La Bella Vita!"
Ciao Bella, Barbara Strom
