Hello there. Welcome.

I founded my antique and vintage bottega in 2024 while living in Germany. Over the years I've built lasting relationships with dealers across Europe, and Italy particularly.

Now in Melbourne I make frequent trips back to Italy to find well-made, characterful pieces that build out a home (and try not to keep everything!).

I offer remote consultations to help you with planning your rooms. I don't just focus on Vintage Italian items. I'm passionate about reusing and repurposing items that you already have. That means I will always try to reimagine what you already have and breathe new life into it, with the help of my team of upholstery experts, curtain makers and seamstresses. If that's not possible we can look through my inventory (including those en-route or not yet live) or search marketplaces and flea markets to find items that solve your specific need. For me, new is the last resort but I do want to support local artisans and so will use my black book to support you to bring home items that can be passed down to the next generation. If we need to throw out any items, I will help you take them to recycling depts or op shops so someone else can enjoy them.

I live in Inner north Melbourne and we can organise a visit to your home if that's easier, for no additional cost. I can visit you in the areas of: Carlton, Parkville, North Melbourne, Fitzroy, Clifton Hill, Northcote, Thornbury, Brunswick, Kensington, Ascot Vale, Footscray, Hawthorn and Kew, .

I have more than 20 year of experience in product development. I spent my time speaking to people and finding out about their needs, problems and how they lived so I could build products that addressed those needs. This means I am able to help build a home environment that suits how people want and do live their lives. Your home should reflect who you are and bring comfort and inspiration. Your objects should have a place and your home should be your favourite place in the world! I'd love to help you get there.
