CHICAGO LOVE™ BRACELETS
Series 1 “Vivo” — Limited First Edition Reversible • Two Ways to Wear
Coming 2026
COMMUNITY GIVEAWAY ITEM
Ryan plans to use the Chicago Love™ bracelets as community giveaways at key Chicago touchpoints — community events, street fairs, art fairs, the beach, concerts, and even major festivals like Lollapalooza. These pop-ups are designed to build excitement, spark connection, and inspire real city pride. While most bracelets will be given away at these events, a portion will also be sold on the Chicago Love™ website. All giveaway locations and pop-ups will be announced across the Chicago Love™ social media pages and Ryan Lessam Art’s pages, with rollouts planned for Summer 2026.
Limited Edition Series 1: “CHICAGO LOVE™ – VIVO COLLECTION”
- Named “Vivo” after Ryan’s first Chicago job at the iconic West Loop restaurant Vivo.
- “Vivo” means “alive” in Italian—symbolizing life, energy, and rebirth.
- Vivo opened in the West Loop in 1991—when it looked nothing like it does today—and helped launch Restaurant Row. It was where Ryan’s Chicago journey truly began.
