Founded in 2020 by Ashley Ciriaco, a self-taught designer with roots in Atlanta and The Bronx, Ciriaco has quickly carved out a distinct space in the contemporary accessories market. Inspired by the eclectic wardrobes of early 2000s New York television and the city's vibrant streetwear culture, the brand is defined by its bold, asymmetrical silhouettes and futuristic shapes. Ciriaco's signature offering, the Ashley Minimalist Baguette, reimagines the classic shoulder bag with an avant-garde, crescent-like structure and vibrant, eye-catching hues.
