Krizia vintage costume jewelry
The history of the legendary Milan fashion house Krizia began in 1954, in a tiny two-room apartment, where two friends, Mariuccia Mandelli and Flora Dolci, sewed their dresses.
According to Mariuccia, she dreamed of becoming a fashion designer since childhood, when she sewed dresses for her dolls. In 1957, her models of “fruit” dresses at the SAMIA international fashion salon became a success and sparked interest in the brand. Already in 1964, Mandelli received the first prize for the provocative collection “Black and White”. Then followed other awards for innovative ideas in the fashion world.
The company expanded with the creation of sub-brands Poi by Krizia, K Krizia, Krizia SPA, and Krizia Uomo, and more. By the way, the name Krizia comes from Plato’s unfinished Dialogue.

The company began producing perfumes, accessories and costume jewelry. Noteworthy, the registered Krizia trademark for the production of costume jewelry officially ceased to exist in 1999. Registered in 2018 renewed brand Kizia International S.R.L. has nothing to do with the original in style, techinque, design and materials. In fact, a year before her death, Mariuccia Mandelli (1925-2015) sold her business to the Chinese concern Shenzhen Marisfrolg.
