The Direct-from-Italy Arbitrage Model Explained

Most luxury fashion marketplaces act as domestic distributors, purchasing stock at wholesale and marking it up to domestic retail MSRP. In contrast, italist operates as an online window directly into brick-and-mortar Italian boutiques. Because European luxury brands (Prada, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent) set lower base prices in their home country, international buyers capture massive price advantages.
