Fashion & Italian lifestyle

About this experience

Live Florence and Milan through fashion, places, and everyday life.

This retreat is built around fashion and Italian lifestyle.

For five days, I welcome you into a private Tuscan home, where we stay together as a small group. From this base, we move between Florence and the surrounding region, experiencing the places, people, and moments that shape how Italians dress, choose, and live every day.

Some days are spent in Florence.

We visit independent designers, small ateliers, and workshops (shoemakers, leather workers, textile specialists, perfumers, and jewelers) people who work with materials, develop ideas, and create objects with intention.

You meet them where they actually work.

You see how things are made, understand materials, and begin to recognize what makes something worth owning.

Shopping is part of the experience.

But it happens differently; with context, with time, and with a clearer eye. You don’t just buy something. You understand where it comes from and why it matters.

Other moments are just as important.

A coffee in the morning, an aperitivo at the end of the day, a dinner in a place that feels right. The experience moves naturally between fashion and the life that surrounds it.

One day, we go to Milan.

We take the train and spend the day in a city where fashion exists at a different scale; more structured, more visible, but still connected to the same foundations of design and craftsmanship.

It gives you a broader perspective, without changing the rhythm of the experience.

At the end of each day, we return home.

Meals are prepared by a local home cook, shared around the table, grounding everything in something simple and real.

This is not a shopping tour, and not a fashion course.

It’s a way of experiencing style as part of a way of living.

This retreat if for you, if:

• you are interested in fashion and Italian lifestyle
• you enjoy discovering designers, ateliers, and unique places
• you like to buy with intention, not impulse
• you appreciate quality, materials, and craftsmanship
• you enjoy combining style with food, places, and atmosphere

This retreat is not for you, if:

• you are looking for fast, outlet-style shopping
• you prefer large retail environments
• you are not drawn to the lifestyle side of the experience

You return having discovered designers and places you would not find on your own, and experienced fashion within the rhythm of real Italian life from ateliers to cafés, aperitivo, and dinners where style is part of everything.
