What types of products or services do you offer?
I make handcrafted leather and resin earrings.
I’m an artist at my core and I love making beautiful pieces of wearable art.

How do you help your customers?
A lot of my customers say I give them the opportunity and confidence to let them express themselves through their earrings.
How did the business get started?
I quit my corporate real estate job in March 2019 and started Bella Volpe Designs the following month.

What is your business’s relationship with the city of Akron and Akronites?
I live and operate my business in Akron.

How do you see your business growing into the future?
I know brick and mortar stores are way less convenient, but I would love to have a boutique where folks can come and watch me make their earrings. Like Build A Bear but earrings! People could have little sip and shop parties and get customized accessories.
Dream big, right?
