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.
