Easy transactionAfter trying to purchase an expensive handbag from other shopping sites well known for foreign luxury goods and getting my transactions cancelled (for suspicious fraud), my Italist order went through smoothly and my item was delivered within two days! Prices are reasonable compared to those of the US.

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.
