About the brand

Ciao Lucia was founded in 2017 by Los Angeles-based designer Lucy Akin, born from an unexpected moment of inspiration while watching Gwyneth Paltrow in "Great Expectations." What started as six unlabeled sample pieces in Akin's boutique Shop Super Street quickly evolved into a coveted brand after selling out immediately and catching the attention of Vogue editors. The brand embodies "the girl on eternal vacation" aesthetic, drawing inspiration from the French Riviera and Amalfi Coast with vintage-inspired silhouettes reminiscent of 1960s cinema. Known for dreamy, billowy dresses and effortless pieces that photograph beautifully against European backdrops, Ciao Lucia specializes in travel-friendly fabrics that pack easily and require minimal fuss. The brand's best-selling pieces, including the iconic Gabriela and Gianluca dresses, feature adjustable fits and timeless appeal that has attracted celebrity fans like Hailey Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo, and Gigi Hadid, cementing its status as the unofficial uniform of aspirational summer dressing.

This brand is pricy, but always has really great sales, or shop second hand on Poshmark for some great finds. Their pieces are perfect for a summer vacation, lightweight, great quality & stylish design. If you're going to splurge on a brand, it should be this one.

Ciao Lucia has very cute sundresses. Also not cheap, but nice quality and flattering.

I love the look of this dress and it's so slimming and the cut is perfect. Only complaint is that it runs a little short.

I purchased it on a Shopbop sale otherwise I think the price point is a bit high for the product.

Turns out, with Ciao Lucia, final sale really means final sale—even if the product is faulty. Just a heads-up for anyone thinking of buying from them, especially final sale items.

how is ciao Lucia charging so much for these flimsy ass dresses with now lining. I mean it's criminal. They are cute but not worth $380.
