Great Selection of Couture Clothing, Shoes & BagsI was surprised to see the Rochas embroidered velvet bag which matched my Platforms as shown on the Runway. My purchase arrived in the US just a few days, and it was breathtaking in its beauty and brand new condition. I frequently shop through StyleBook and The Italist is a Starred Place I visit. Highly recommend for Couture goods.
