Leandra's Top Picks - Handpicked Italian & Sicilian Favorites

I'm drawn to pieces that tell a story, and the Salute, Pace, e Lunga Vita collection does exactly that. This traditional blessing has been spoken at Italian celebrations for generations, and seeing it etched on champagne flutes or a cutting board brings that warmth into everyday moments. It's the kind of gift that makes people pause and feel something—whether they're toasting at a wedding or preparing Sunday dinner.

The Family Recipes Binder caught my eye because of that unexpected contrast—vibrant yellow lemons against sleek black. It feels both classic and contemporary, which is exactly how I approach design. I love the idea of families filling it with handwritten recipes that get passed down, creating an heirloom that's as beautiful as it is meaningful. The Italian-Inspired Mary Favor Box holds special meaning for me as someone who attended Catholic school. I wanted to create something that honored religious tradition while feeling elegant and modern—perfect for holding rosary favors or small treats at communions, confirmations, and baptisms.

Those Italian/Sicilian Card Aces Coasters are deeply personal. They remind me of sitting with my grandfathers, learning Scopa and Briscola, watching their hands move the cards with such familiarity. I wish I could give them these coasters today—they would have loved them. It's a small way to keep those memories alive and share that tradition with others who grew up playing the same games. The Bambina Monella kids tee makes me smile every time because it captures something I noticed in Italy—those spirited, mischievous kids who were always getting into trouble but were so full of life and charm. "Monella" means naughty, and this design celebrates that playful energy.

I'm known for my silly Sicilian humor, and the Stugots License Plate is a perfect example. It's cheeky, it's bold, and it makes people laugh—exactly what I love about Italian-American culture. The Sicily Forgives But Never Forgets tee speaks to a different side of Sicilian identity—that strength, that pride, that edge. I wanted to create something for people who embrace their heritage with confidence and aren't afraid to show it. And then there's the Razza Italiana & Razza Siciliana collection, which I have to credit my husband for. He said it at breakfast one morning and I nearly spat my coffee laughing. It's bold, it's edgy, it's unapologetic—and it makes people do a double take and smile. That's exactly the reaction I'm going for.

These pieces aren't just products to me—they're reflections of my heritage, my memories, my sense of humor, and the way I see Italian and Sicilian culture. I hope they resonate with you the same way they do with me.

Bambina Monella Personalized Kids T-shirt

This playful white tee celebrates the spirited side of childhood! “Bambina” shines in vibrant purple script, paired with “Monella” in bold hot-pink athletic lettering—“Monella” means naughty.
