There are lots of great things about living in the U.S., but the price of European designer goods isn't one of them. Due to import taxes, shipping, custom fees, and so on, it's understandable why luxury items would be pricier here. But I have a solution, and it's Italist. If Italist is new to you, allow me to fill you in. It's an online retailer that's based in Los Angeles and sells designer goods at the Italian retail price, which is usually 30% to 40% less than retail prices around the world. The goods ship directly from Italy for free, arriving in two to four days. Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? I'm here to assure you that it's not.
One of my favorite things to order on Italist is luxury shoes, and after a recent scroll through its current inventory, I was inspired to share some of the unbelievable It shoes I came across, some of which are hundreds of dollars less than the standard retail price. So without further ado, keep scrolling to shop my picks from Miu Miu, Bottega Veneta, Loewe, and more—before they inevitably sell out.
