The label Letizia was registered as a trademark within Australia in 1999 and our first store opened in the prominent beachside location of Cottesloe W.A. in 2000. In August of 2006 we opened our second store in Claremont W.A.
As well as being a brand in its own right, Letizia also continues to co-operate with fashion designers in Australia by coordinating productions in Italy.
Letizia owner and director Sam Letizia moved from Perth in 1983 to begin work in the prestigious and exclusive Milano fashion industry in Italy - home to many of the worlds most prominent clothing brands and manufacturers. Sam began his trade working in a buying office in Milan as the Assistant Buyer for Scandinavian clients that included such establishments as H & M.
As well as being involved in the design and manufacture of knitwear, shirts and under-garments, it is here that Sam discovered his passion for accessories – namely silk ties, belts and of course – shoes!
In 1992 Letizia was inaugurated as a business in Milano operating as a buying office in its own right for Scandinavian buyers.
