All the luxury essentials you need to order this season

Italist is an amazing place to find designer goods at great prices. Here are my top picks for holiday gifts this season for all your loved ones with style.

Ski jackets

There are quite a few slopes-ready pieces on italist this season, from Fendi to Moncler Grenoble to cult label Khrisjoy, from jackets to pants to boots. 

Comfy/cozy shoe brand Mou has some ski styles too. We also love Moon Boot shoes for cold-weather sports–they collaborated with Alanui this season on some cool, colorful models.

Winter boots

There are nearly 7k boots listings on italist right now—every style from the top brands at great prices. 

Paris Texas and Isabel Marant are the big names to wear this season. Both of those brands are also significantly less expensive on italist before discounting, so they’re an especially good deal right now during Italist’s Black Friday event (60%* savings sitewide).

Luggage 

FPM stands for Fabbrica Pelleterie Milano and the brand has been in the luxury travel gear business for decades. Think on-par with Rimowa, nicer than Tumi. Highly durable, secure, stylish, and 100% made in Italy. 

Winter accessories 

We like to think of scarves as a great way to add a splash of color, a touch of designer style, and of course stay warm. Max Mara, Fendi, Alexander McQueen, and Moschino are great, classic options for all of the above. 

Max Mara does the best neutral colors, which will go great with any other neutrals, and has a few styles with a slit cut in one end for easy looping around your neck. Alexander McQueen does prints really well—this mushroom print is very on-trend.

For your head, Ruslan Baginskiy’s hats are the ultimate flex this winter. Hailing from Eastern Europe, they’re designed for both warmth and style, and we’ve got nearly 200 models to choose from.

Interesting sweaters

Logomania is still “in” but we like examples that creatively integrate the logo, like this Etro sweater-dress (logo is rendered as a street sign) and this cropped Balmain monogram motif sweater, which doesn’t say “Balmain” but it does “if you know, you know.”

If #oldmoneystyle is your speed, Fabiana Filippi is one of Italy’s best-kept designer secrets…she hails from the same region as Brunello Cucinelli and designs very similar garments, for a third of the price. Lisa Yang’s understated, incredibly rich-looking sweaters have also been selling very well this season.

Of course, we always have Brunello Cucinelli, the ultimate name in old money style, for a significant savings off local retail pricing.
