Quick shippingI hesitated buying from Italist for months because I was afraid of how long it would take to arrive. When I saw a deal on Tory Burch shoes that I couldn't ignore, I took a chance. I'm glad that I did! Shipping was the same as if not faster than when I order from a US store. My shoes were beautiful and I will order again.

Love my purchaseJust recently discovered this website. I love it. The prices are great, the selection is wonderful and quick delivery. Love my Moschino bag. The leather is beautiful and it’s very versatile.

Prada leather cardholderI loved it! It’s my first time ordering from the website and I can’t be happier. The item is original, the packaging was great, and the delivery was fast. I highly recommend! Great customer service too (I went to the chat and got all the answers to my questions)

My go-to for Designer StandoutsI love The Italist! I buy beautiful—and hard to find designer items—and receive them in just a few days. Customer service is responsive and wonderful. Buying expensive items online is something I normally shy away from due to the preponderance of fakes. Not a problem with The Italist! Well designed website. I have many transactions under the duty limit which is an extra savings. If duty is required, it is automatically included as part of the transaction.
