19 Rare Finds From My Secret Source For Discounted Prada, Miu Miu, and Bottega

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.
Only Saint Laurent could make everyone want to wear ulta-high heels again.
Most teddy coats are super puffy but this one drapes so beautifully.
These will easily make every outfit a million times chicer.
