Bella's Consignments was established in 2009 by Jim and Carolyn Rivaldi. The store was named after their beloved daughter, Bella Victoria Rivaldi.
The Rivaldi family are long-time residents of Santa Barbara County. Jim is a third genration resident, while Carolyn's folks moved to the county shorty after Carolyn was born in 1952.
The Rivaldis have had a diversity of experience. They currently own and operate Heritage House Sales, a personal property liquidation company. Heritage House sells the entire contents of homes and/or businesses for a variety of reasons. For more information about Heritage House Sales, visit the website: heritagehousesales.com The Rivaldis also ran an antique and gift store in Orcutt, CA for almost twenty years and a vintage and designer jewelry store in San Luis Obispo, CA. Jim and Carolyn Rivaldi are personal property appraisers.
Bella's Consignments was opened because hundreds of Heritage House Sales customers expressed an interest in consigning their items when a moving or estate sale was not feasible for one reason or another. People said over and over again that they did not want to sell their fine items at a garage sale. They wanted to hire the Rivaldis to appraise, display, and sell the items at a retail location.. The Rivaldis listened...and Bella's Consignments was born.
