Our sourcing, procurement and consultancy services offer a complete end-to-end cross-market solution for international buyers. As part of our process, we buy directly for our clients, dealing with all the liaison, finances, and administration including delivery and installation.
Our process starts with an initial meeting where we discuss our clients’ project and requirements. We source high-quality Italian textiles, furniture, home fixtures and fittings, and a range of luxury goods on behalf of clients. The products, finishes, timing, budget, location and delivery are discussed and we develop a scope of work.
