Ever experienced a summer in Italy? Well, we've got a way that you can bring the sunshine and happiness of an Italian summer home with you. A wonderfully talented couple, Lisa and Claudio from Rome, have captured the essence of an Italian summer for your pleasure.

Claudio, an artist, uses his talent to transfer that typically Italian summer idyll onto handmade and hand-painted bags and ceramics. Those pleasures of a summer's day in Italy: the fragrance of lemons and jasmine in the air, the sky cerulean blue, and everything bathed in bright sunshine.

All of that is found in Claudio's work. Have a look at the photos below for a taste of what they offer.
