Cristina Ghisolfi was born in the fashion capital of the world Milan, and with the exception of a short time in Paris for her studies she calls this chic place home. A lover of fine things, Cristina has worked hard to protect one of Italy’s unique traditions, that of craftsmanship.

And today, as co-founder of T.I.C. she is equipped to handle her most ambitious project yet; that of conveying to the rest of the world the beauty of the handmade.

Myriam Altieri, a lover of fine things handmade in Italy, gets a twinkle in her eye when asked about The Italian Collection (T.I.C.). For a good decade she has worked side by side with her co-founder Cristina Ghisolfi on their brainchild T.I.C. building it into the online space to go for the “real” Made in Italy.

Italian-born Myriam left her homeland to pursue adventures abroad, popping up in Australia where she spent her formative years. In Melbourne, Myriam’s career path took an interesting turn landing her in advertising and a short time later branching into the TV industry in Sydney, London and Milan. She did a stint in Paris – a joyful chapter allowing her to know the city and hone the language.

Now a resident in the United States with her American spouse, and honoured with a degree in Business Management, she spends her time on T.I.C.; a project that nourishes and nurtures a deep love for the country that has given the world enduring traditions and artisans who make from the heart T.I.C.
