As I've gotten older, I've tried to curb my impulse shopping and stick to the old quality over quantity adage, which allows me to splurge on more designer pieces that I would if I were just buying everything that struck my fancy. That said, the sticker shock for designer goods is real (and retail prices continue to rise), so I try my best to not pay full price, which brings me to Italist.
In case you're not familiar, Italist is a genius site that sells designer goods at the Italian retail price, which is usually 30%-40% less than retail prices around the world. The goods ship directly from Italy for free, arriving in 2-4 days. Not only that, the designer items in question are current season, so you're not just shopping for unsold last-season pieces that are being unloaded. Currently, there are tons of F/W 23 pieces to choose from. (Did I mention that on top of the already discounted prices, they also have frequent markdowns?)
Among the vast inventory you'll find tons of Miu Miu, Gucci, Prada, Loewe, Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent, Khaite, Alaïa, and hundreds more brands to choose from. Scroll to shop some of my favorite pieces if you want to avoid getting very overwhelmed by the many jaw-dropping options.
The perfect little Miu Miu bag for day or night.
Boots this timeless and versatile are a worthwhile splurge.
I think about this bag in this color daily.
The stunning Khaite Sweater everyone's talking about right now.
Only Saint Laurent could make everyone want to wear ulta-high heels again.
I love a simple It bag.
And just like that, none of my other boots matter.
The list of Prada bags I want is getting very long.
Yep, Italist has Manolos too.
This skirt is $1850 on every other site!
Get ready to see this bag everywhere.
Most teddy coats are super puffy but this one drapes so beautifully.
These sneakers are always sold out everywhere.
It doesn't get more luxurious than a Loro Piana sweater.
Winter is right around the corner.
These will easily make every outfit a million times chicer.
These are on their way to being the next Prada It shoes.
"Pretty" is an understatement.
