Italic is a direct-from-manufacturer marketplace selling unbranded luxury essentials produced by the same Chinese and European factories that supply top global brands. Founded by Jeremy Cai at age 23, the company pioneered a membership model that captured fashion-conscious consumers willing to forgo brand logos for materials and craftsmanship at a fraction of the labeled retail price.
