The winter winds are blowing, and it is officially sweater weather in Cincinnati. Elevate your winter look with luxurious Italian wardrobe staples by new brand, Elevati. Elevati’s styles are timeless, and the fit is as flattering as it is comfortable. Winter has never looked so inviting.

The Brand - Elevati

Introducing Elevati, a new and exclusive brand only available at Designer Items and More, a unique boutique located in Montgomery. The local business specializes in new and vintage clothes and accessories from the top couture houses from around the world. Carefully curated by Founder Felisa Insignares, the chic boutique is a fashion wonderland.

Elevati’s celebrated launch brings a curated collection of timeless Italian-made essentials to Greater Cincinnati at a price point that makes refined luxury accessible. Elevati includes extraordinary pieces, offering a selection of wardrobe staples that elevate your look.

“With Elevati, we’ve combined Italy’s finest craftsmanship with modern, timeless designs to create pieces that elevate everyday style,” says Insignares.

The Collection

Elevati’s debut collection showcases a perfect balance of sophisticated fabrics and flattering silhouettes, designed to transition seamlessly from day to night while maintaining an air of effortless luxury.

Featuring sumptuous knits, the winter collection is both stylish and versatile: sweaters, tops, pants, dresses, wraps and capes. These mix-and-match must-haves come in a range of elegant colors, including Caramelo (Caramel), Rosa (Pink), Bianco (Ivory) and Notte (Black).  

The asymmetrical, off-the-shoulder sweaters are the star of the collection, upgrading every ensemble. Skirts and pants are form-fitting in all of the right places for a flattering line. Draping wraps and capes add a layer of warmth and elegance for a night out on the town.

Insignares is excited for this season’s collection and for what is to come. 

“This winter, discover Elevati’s knitwear designed for refined style and timeless elegance,” she says. “Every season, Elevati will unveil a new capsule.”

Dress up your holiday and every season with Elevati, everyday essentials made up of extraordinary pieces.
