Birthday Talk With Tessabit

Ahhh birthdays…here at farfetch.com we love any excuse for a celebration, so when we discovered that today is the two year anniversary of glamorous Italian store Tessabit joining our boutique family, we didn’t need telling twice to get out the party poppers.
 ‘It doesn't seem like two years, it’s all gone by so fast!’ said Tessabit owner Andrea Molteni when we caught up with him earlier, before admitting ‘It started off as an experiment, and now it’s a reality. It works!’

‘And sharing this experience with farfetch.com has made it even more fun, working with them has been a pleasure. We would have never had such great results if we did it on our own. It's a true partnership!’ Since Tessabit gives us our fix of some of the best pieces from the likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Lanvin and Theysken’s Theory we will forgive Andrea for getting a little misty-eyed (oh how fashion adores a love-in), but on a funnier note, his first experience with farfetch.com didn’t go so smoothly, as he explains ‘You never forget that first sale! Ours was a Dior sandal, and I was so excited and ready to send it when I discovered the payment was refused!’

But back to birthdays, and the best thing about them is of course the presents. So what Tessabit pieces would Andrea recommend as the ultimate in birthday gifts? Like us, he’s of the opinion you can’t go wrong with an ‘it’ bag, suggesting the new Balenciaga ‘Riva’


or one of the Proenza Schouler satchels that the entire fashion industry is drooling over the right now…



And failing that, a new pair of sky-high Yves Saint Laurent tribute sandals. Perfect. Now all we’re missing is the cake…
