Seller's Story

FilomenaVintage was born on November 6, 2012, thanks to an idea by Alessandra Testa, with the desire to give a new home to the beauties and wonders of a time that have never set, in the world of costume jewelry, fashion and beyond. The word vintage means "loved in the past" and so the rediscovery of pieces with a history, a past not too distant can return and be loved again, giving new value to the concept, that of a present to be lived again.
