Your personal buyer in Italy
A Dedicated Buyer Working Only For You.
We are your buying office in Italy. For every client we assign a dedicated buyer who learns your business, scouts the right suppliers in advance, and connects with you live from the showroom floor — so you can select collections in real time, from anywhere in the world.
Every session is built entirely around your boutique: your aesthetic, your price range, your customers. One partner, full focus, end-to-end service.

How It Works
During the session
What Happens During The Live Session
The buying session is a fully interactive experience. You are not watching a video — you are shopping in real time, guided by a buyer who knows the Italian market.
Our buyer is physically inside the supplier’s showroom. Ask for a close-up. Request a comparison. Ask about fabric, minimum quantities, delivery timing. It works exactly like being there — without the flight.
Live from the floor
Real garments, real stock, real time. Not catalogue photos — the actual rail, right now.
Fully interactive
Ask questions, request close-ups, compare pieces side by side. Just like being there.
Expert buying advice
Our buyer advises on trends, retail pricing, and quantities — not just shows products.
Multiple suppliers, one day
3–4 pre-selected showrooms in a single session. Cover the market without leaving your office.
Your Pace, Your Time
Sessions last as long as you need — a few hours or an entire working day. We don't rush. Every decision is yours to make with clarity.
From Anywhere In The World
US, Northern Europe, Middle East, Australia — time zones are not obstacles. We schedule around you and you shop Italy from wherever you are.
One Shipment, Everything Inside
All purchases from multiple suppliers consolidated into a single parcel. One invoice, one delivery, customs fully managed by our team.
How payment works
Fast-Moving Market. Clear Rules.
Italian pronto moda moves quickly. The stock you select is real and available now — which means it can be sold to someone else if not secured promptly. Here is how the payment process works, and why it’s structured this way.
Goods Payment Within 24h
After the session we confirm your order. Payment is due within 24 hours — Italian suppliers hold stock for 2–3 days max. Once paid, your selection is secured exclusively for you.
✦ Protects your order
We Collect Everything
Once goods are paid, our team physically retrieves items from every supplier and brings everything together at our Florence facility.
✦ All suppliers, one pickup
Shipping Quote
With all goods in hand we calculate the exact shipping cost — weight, volume, destination, best carrier. You receive a transparent quote and pay shipping separately.
✦ No surprises
Your Order Departs
We handle all customs documentation and export paperwork. One consolidated shipment, full tracking, confirmed delivery to your door.
✦ Customs fully managed
Before the session
Help Us Find Exactly What You Need.
The more we understand your aesthetic and your customers, the better we can pre-select the right suppliers. A moodboard is the fastest way to align — but any visual reference works.
Send us your Pinterest board, your boutique’s Instagram, your website, a folder of images, or simply links to pieces you admire. We translate your vision into a precise supplier shortlist — filtered by style, quality level, and price range — before your session begins.

Common questions
Things Buyers Usually Ask Us
No. The entire buying session happens remotely via video call. Our buyer is physically in the showroom — you shop from your office, boutique, or wherever you are. Clients in the US, Australia, Northern Europe, and the Middle East all buy without ever traveling to Italy.
Yes — and this is one of the key advantages. A single session can move through three, four, or more pre-selected suppliers. Everything you purchase is consolidated into one order and one shipment.
It depends on how many suppliers are involved and your pace. Sessions typically last several hours and can extend through an entire working day. We don't rush the process — you decide when you've found what you need.
There is no fixed minimum. Budget requirements and order sizes are discussed during the initial interview, where we build a sourcing strategy tailored to your specific business.
A moodboard is not required. Any visual reference helps — your boutique's Instagram, your website, photos of pieces you like, or links to styles that inspire you. The goal is simply to give us a clear picture of your aesthetic before we go scouting.
We do — entirely. All customs documentation, export paperwork, and logistics are managed by our team. You receive one consolidated shipment with a single invoice, and we follow your order through to confirmed delivery.
Italian pronto moda is a fast-moving market. Suppliers hold reserved stock for 2–3 days maximum. The 24-hour window is not pressure — it's how the market works, and it protects your selection from being sold to someone else.
Book your initial interview. It's free, takes about 30 minutes, and there's no commitment. We'll talk about your boutique, your needs, and whether this partnership is the right fit for both sides.
