We’re the husband-and-wife duo behind CIELO, a bright little shop in the heart of the Iowa City Ped Mall. What started as a love for beautiful things and good vibes has grown into a joyful community space filled with Iowa pride, self-care favorites, and meaningful gifts.
At CIELO, we believe shopping should feel good — like sunshine and connection. We’re proud to carry local makers, unique finds, licensed Iowa apparel, candles, jewelry, and our signature Everlasting Jewelry & Charm Bar — where you can make your look permanent (or not).

Let customers speak for us
This is such a cute dress. It’s easily able to be dressed up and down. The magic is that it’s incredibly soft, flowy, and comfy!!!
Love it. Over sized. So soft. Bella canvas is a great choice. Graphics are clean and sit in the perfect place of the sweatshirt.
Makes a nice coffee table book and is always there to pick up and read a page or 2. The quotes are thought provoking and because they contain 10 words or 100 words, there is something for every one every time and any time.
Had a great experience while shopping at Cielo. Monica was most helpful and engaging. Will definitely go again.
it is SO soft and I was pleasantly suprised to see that it is machine washable 😀❤️
We LOVE CIELO!! Both my daughter and I have at least 2 bracelets that are part of the everlasting jewelry. The customer experience, and shops are one of our favorite and most talked about places.
They have such fun products!!! The sweatshirts are so soft and fun to wear. Woman owned local business and I totally support! If you haven’t been to this store, you are missing out!!!!
My daughter and I bought matching bracelets for her first year at college and to celebrate the end of my treatment for breast cancer. Our bracelets are complete with a small pink stone for breast cancer awareness! Perfect gift for ourselves!
These pajamas exceeded my expectations! The price point was unreal as well. They are so comfy! Can’t wait to wear them all year round. Also the store employees were so kind!
It’s the perfect message of ‘trusting the process’ and it sits on my home office’s desk - where I have to accept a LOT of processes.
It may almost be spring but I’m on my couch RIGHT NOW with the black plush socks on. They feel divine!
