Dolce Vita sells women's shoes, from heels, flats and loafers to boots, sandals and sneakers, plus handbags, accessories and bridal styles, priced about $80-$295.
Founded in New York City in 2001, it gives 20% off to several groups of shoppers, but only one promo code fits on an order.
According to its story page, Dolce Vita began on New York's Lower East Side after its founders sketched the idea on a cocktail napkin while studying in Italy, naming the brand after a favorite Italian bar and the phrase 'la dolce vita', the sweet life. The brand says it stands for creativity, inclusivity and responsibility.
The range includes a waterproof boot collection, narrow, wide and extra-wide calf boots, wide widths and extended sizing, plus a wedding shop where shoes can be personalized. Handbags come in leather, suede, satin, pearls and raffia. Dolce Vita also runs its own stores, including Melrose and Washington, D.C. locations, a resale partnership with thredup, an app with exclusive product drops, and [ THE LIST ], a free loyalty program with VIP access. Its products carry a guarantee against manufacturer's defects.
