Cavalli e Nastri Brera — Local services in Milan

My friend stumbled on this women's only vintage clothing and accessories shop on a blog recommending places to shop in Milano. Overall, a very well-organized shop - by color - where they sell designer pieces that are gently used. Most of the brands are well-known around the world with a handful of Italian designers mixed in. I purchased a pair of barely-worn pair of orange patent leather Miu Miu pumps for around 120E and my friend purchased a white lace button up blouse for about 45E that was in mint condition.

We did notice that many of the pieces skewed towards an older audience, a lot of brocade jackets, conservative cut dresses and high-neck blouses. Not as many pieces that fit women in their mid-30s who like to wear edgier pieces, which was surprising given the location in Milano where designers reign. However, it could simply be that the good pieces disappear quickly and this is one of those shops where you'd need to frequently shop and check in here once a week to find the newest items.

This caused my package to be heavily delayed. Normally, a delayed package is alright, but mind you, this is a vintage store carrying designer items. I paid more than half a grand for a single piece and they can't even ship it to the right address. So, I feel like I am rightfully upset. They also said they would contact me through Whatsapp with updates, but I have received no...

I sold Cavalli e Nastri some vintage clothing as part of an estate disposition. The buyer came in the morning and identified the items. In the afternoon he returned with a helper, introduced as Francesco. It turns out it was the owner, Francesco Baracchi. As my wife talked with the buyer, signor Baracchi sat down and, uninvited, went to flip through a stack of paintings. Before I could stop him, he knocked a brass sculpture into an oil painting, causing an estimated 1,000 euros damage. There was no apology given, nor offer of compensation for the damage. Subsequent attempts to receive at least partial compensation...
