The Italian Collection Team

The Italian Collection is an all-Italian story. A professional relationship between Myriam – Italian-born and today American by adoption – and Cristina, consummate Milanese, posted in the 1980s blooms into a decades-long friendship.

With a passion for the “beautiful and well-made” in Italy came the idea of sharing with the world fashion products of the highest quality imbued with values and traditions found at the peak of the Italian diamond: artisanship.

In 2011, Myriam and Cristina launched The Italian Collection offering capsules of precious accessories and cashmere. The “fil rouge”? Milanese Style, contemporary, but timeless, independent of fashion diktats, but with an eye on trends.

With the Italian producers – excellent companies with a long Italian tradition of paying attention to sustainability -develop strong bonds and collaborations. Producer and seller work together to choose pieces, colors, and materials easily used for all seasons. The fit is always perfect. Each piece is unique, and each garment and accessory are timeless, mixing and matching with existing wardrobes.

At The Italian Collection, the decision to buy something precious is more than just a digital transaction. It is an emotional affair on the part of the buyer and the seller too. We take to heart what we do. Our dedicated team stays with you along the way, from buy button activation to the purchased item arriving at its destination.

Do you need help or recommendations? Cristina and Myriam delight in helping and supporting you in any way they can.

We invite you to discover Our Collection, Designed in Italy, Handmade in Italy. Enjoy !

Cristina Ghisolfi

Cristina was born and raised in the fashion and design capital of the world, Milan, Italy.

Myriam Altieri

Myriam Altieri, a lover of fine things handmade in Italy, gets a twinkle in her eye when asked about The Italian Collection (T.I.C.). For a good decade she has worked side by side with her co-founder Cristina Ghisolfi on their brainchild T.I.C. building it into the online space to go for the “real” Made in Italy.

Italian-born Myriam left her homeland to pursue adventures abroad, popping up in Australia where she spent her formative years. In Melbourne, Myriam’s career path took an interesting turn landing her in advertising and a short time later branching into the TV industry in Sydney, London and Milan. She did a stint in Paris – a joyful chapter allowing her to know the city and hone the language.  

Now a resident in the United States with her American spouse, and honoured with a degree in Business Management, she spends her time on T.I.C.; a project that nourishes and nurtures a deep love for the country that has given the world enduring traditions and artisans who make from the heart T.I.C.
