Back To School

Bella Vita's back-to-school collection is where Rockridge families find backpacks, lunch bags, and first-day-of-school essentials from brands you won't find at the mall. We carry backpacks and lunch bags from Stephen Joseph Gifts, uninni, Viv & Lou, and Peppercorn Kids, along with lunchbox sets from Petit Monkey and the rest of our back-to-school picks.
