Safia Macaraya's Company Details
Expertly-curated global luxury, imported from Italy at the best price, and delivered to your doorstep. italist is the first platform to offer direct-to-consumer imports of luxury goods exclusively from Italy. Through italist, customers can purchase brand-new, genuine, in-season fashion and accessories from our partner boutiques in Italy. The same high-quality products you’d find on other sites are available at a lower retail price through our partner boutiques—up to 40% less—so italist always provides the best value. In 2015, italist was born in Silicon Valley. That fall, italist received funding from 500 Startups and other institutional investors. Soon after, italist opened an office in Los Angeles where the company is now based. The initial vision was simple: partner directly with boutiques through a digital platform dedicated only to luxury products. To that end, we designed an innovative import model that combined tech and luxury. The buyers at our partner boutiques curate the products on italist, and all the items featured online are currently available in retail locations across Italy. This model allows customers to purchase goods at Italian retail price as if they'd flown to Italy and visited the stores in person. After italist Now, thanks to the success of our direct-to-consumer import model, customers can purchase brand-new, genuine, in-season fashion and luxury accessories from Italy’s finest retailers without leaving home. Our platform gives customers access to more than 2,500 international brands and 400,000 luxury items across Italy. And italist offers the best value—up to 40% less than market price—for the same authentic luxury goods you’ll find on other sites since the products are being imported directly from Italy. Although our partner boutiques are in Italy, italist is an American company. We have a growing team of 50+ employees dedicated to bringing you the widest selection and best value in luxury fashion and accessories.
