If you're into luxury fashion and aren't yet familiar with Italist, prepare to be blown away. It's a Los Angeles-based company that sells all the best designer brands for the Italian retail price. For us here in the U.S., that means an average of 30 to 40% off. (It explains why Italist's slogan is "Always Like a Sale.") On top of these organic discounts, the site offers free shipping on every order. It's a beautiful business model that customers greatly benefit from. And needless to say, it's one of my favorite secret sources for brands like Prada, Miu Miu, Saint Laurent, and Bottega Veneta.

I thought it would be fun to do a roundup of my favorite Italist items because they're particularly good, and it'd be a shame to keep them to myself. Keeps scrolling to shop the epic designer finds from the current season—and feel free to Google the items to see how much cheaper they are on Italist.
