Vita Fede is a collection of handcrafted jewelry and accessories inspired by art, architecture and culture from the past, present and future. These elements combine to create the VF aesthetic: Timeless luxury with a feminine modern twist. Designer Cynthia K. Sakai’s commitment to make each collection a natural progression from the last results in a highly edited line that builds on the success the brand has enjoyed since launching in 2009. Vita Fede translates to ‘Life’ and ‘Faith,’ two things that connect people everywhere, and, like VF designs, continue to evolve without losing the essential elements that define them. For designer Cynthia K. Sakai, this means taking inspiration from life all around her to create jewels that transition seamlessly from season to season. Born in Los Angeles to Japanese parents, Cynthia describes the Vita Fede look as “a fusion of Asian, American and European culture that represents an elevated aesthetic, a lifestyle and a point of view that are universal.” Cynthia has always believed that one great accessory can make an outfit, and her jewelry is designed to be mixed, matched and layered to suit each person’s individual style. Cynthia became a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) in June 2014. website: vitafede.com
