6 Must-Haves to ShopandBox from Italy

Ever wondered what other wonderful things you can get your hands on from Italy? The beautiful European country is filled with treasures along a long Mediterranean coastline, from historical ruins to culturally-significant landmarks that would make any art/history lover’s idea of a perfect holiday. But alongside that, Italy offers a multitude of goods worth checking out if you’re not physically present to shop there.

Be it luxury brands i.e. Gucci, Fendi, Furla or even intimatewear from popular brand Intissimi, we got a good list of what to get if you’re looking to shop from the enchanting city:

Intimissimi

With over 500 stores just in Italy, Intimissimi is a popular lingerie brand for both women and men established in 1996. Currently boasting 1,200 stores across the globe, the brand is pretty much the market leader for lingerie in Europe. The beauty in its intimate apparel lies in its simple yet refined styles coupled with high quality materials, case in point: find over 20 styles of bras that might just fit you snugly from lace to seamless varieties.

 

Kiko Milano

If you haven’t heard of this Italian makeup brand, prepare to get your money out because you might want to just splurge on everything that they offer. Some say that this is the makeup equivalent of Zara, but we think that they offer amazing dupes for higher-end makeup if your budget doesn’t allow for it. Its standouts include the Water Eyeshadow that beauty vlogger KathleenLights raved about below, its range of foundations, and Desert Dunes Baked Bronzer.

Brics

If you’re looking for simple yet sturdy luggage bags to cover all your travelling needs, Brics is a one brand to shop from. Not too overly ostentatious or bold, its design aesthetic favours classic hues for a functional purpose. Brics is also a favourite of royalty (namely the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge), and we love its Bellagio line that combines Tuscan leather inserts with a high-tech shell made from Makrolon polycarbonate, an innovative plastic material that guarantees maximum resistance to shocks and scratches. Brics luggage comes in all sizes too, from a backpack all the way up to a sizable 30-inch spinner.

 

Furla

One good reason to love Furla accessories? You can get beautiful luxe bags without putting a dent in your pocket. On our wishlist this season: Furla’s top-handle totes (the Selene in particular) that come in a chic ruby hue, the Metropolis that blazed the mini-bag trend, and the tri-colour Kelis ziparound wallet for a summery pop of colour. If you’re looking to get a father’s day gift or birthday present for a loved one, take a look at their men’s accessories while you’re at it. Prices are more affordable in Italy than in USA or UK as well if you’re planning to buy a gift for yourself or someone special.
