Meet Nicky!

2011-11-02T07:40:00.000-07:00

With so many new additions to my shop I wanted to start showcasing my designs in action. So, on my quest for a model, I had the pleasure of meeting an adorable little girl. Meet Nicky, the first official model of Jesse Ciani. Here’s a sneak peak of her photo shoot session. Isn't she a darling?

Nicky is modeling the new Blooming Velvet Satchel; a flower girl basket alternative/handbag and matching silk headband. The Blooming velvet Satchel is a beautiful versatile handbag; you can use it as fun and sassy bouquet alternative for your bridesmaids to hold their little essentials or you can fill the satchel with fresh blooms, the top has a drawstring and easily stay open as your darling flower girl takes a walk down the aisle dropping her petals. The satchel makes a beautiful bridal party gift, as well as a keepsake to hold all your little mementos.

Lastly, I had the opportunity to meet a wonderful Jewelry designer From Etsy, Linda B. Her specialty is Judaica jewelry and women's kippot. With Hannukah approaching, I wanted to spotlight her jewelry shop; http://www.etsy.com/shop/lindab142. In addition to designing jewelry Linda is also a Social Media Queen, and has written how to guides on Blogs, facebook, and Publicity/PR. Now, for those of you who personally know me, know that social media is a bit of a challenge for me. However, Linda has taken the time to be my mentor and I have learned a great deal from her these past few weeks.

Welcome!

2008-10-28T12:47:00.000-07:00

Welcome! This is a new feature I've added to the website and I’m looking forward to sharing my ideas and inspiration with you.

Growing up I was very creative, and I always aspired to be a designer, so it was inedible that I pursue a career in the fashion Industry. Eleven years ago I had the opportunity to work with a premier bridal designer in New York City as a production coordinator. It wasn’t the designer position I aspired for but it was the best detour I’ve ever taken. It was there I developed a keen eye for the smallest details, learned a variety of high quality finishes, and occasionally got the opportunity to use my creativity.

After working there for ten years my family and I wanted to leave the New York hustle and bustle to dedicate more time to our children, and their education, so I left the company and move to Northern California where I decided to launch Jesse Ciani, Accessories as a full time job.

See, two years before we moved from New York, I began designing photo albums because I wanted an extraordinary piece to showcase my hidden treasures; my family photos. Inspired by my love of fashion, I designed my first album to compliment the aura of my home. I was excited by the end result. So, I designed a few more albums to spread across the coffee table. I now had a stylish place to store my family photos they were easily accessible at family gatherings.

The albums sparked interest. Each one became a conversation piece. Whenever guest and family visited everyone was intrigued by the stylish pieces on the coffee table. So, I began making them as gifts for family and friends. Soon, I evolved from photo albums to guest books, to ring bearer pillows and a variety of special occasion accessories. Thanks to word of mouth referrals, my hobby had become a small home business and I created a website.

The website features elegant wedding and special occasion accessories I’ve designed which you can purchase for your wedding, special occasion, something special for a cherished loved one, or holiday gift. Here are some Photos of the albums I’ve designed. The albums can be personalized and can be ordered with coordinating accessories. So please check out the website at http://www.jesseciani.com/.

This is a new blog so please come back as often as you like for creative ideas, updates, and event postings. I’d love to hear your questions, comments, or inspiring ideas, so please comment on this post or e-mail me at JessicaBrown@JesseCiani.com.
