Dolce Vita began as a dream drafted on a cocktail napkin.
Founded in 2001 on New York City’s Lower East Side, the brand’s name is an homage to our founders’ favorite bar from their days studying in Italy.
Since those days, we’ve stayed true to our roots in New York’s vibrant creative epicenter while broadening our horizons and always allowing our wildest dreams to dictate the next step.
Today, every Dolce Vita collection is designed for the fearless – the dreamers, the tastemakers, and the confident individuals who inspire us every day.
The Blufin group officially started operations in 1988, but the story began eleven years earlier, in 1977, when Anna Molinari and her husband Gianpaolo Tarabini Castellani founded Blumarine. The name suggests an open blue horizon: that of the sea, a symbol of infinite journeys and possibilities.
The group was acquired at the end of 2019 by Exelite S.p.A., in the person of its Sole Director Marco Marchi, with the aim of further expanding and renewing the presence on the global market. In full respect of the roots, the idea is to harmonize Blumarine’s identity with the present, focusing on femininity,
seduction, inclusion; playing with the contrasts that are the essence of the moment we are living. Thanks to the recognition of a precise stylistic vision, communicated through images conceived with the best photographers, and of a unique way of making product, the company has been able to penetrate the market of luxury with the quality and refinement of its reations, gaining the consensus of specialized press, top buyers, celebrities and, not least, of customers.
