In divacattiva®’s world old fashioned underwear becomes modern overwear; basic becomes hyper-chic.
Every single piece is embellished by high quality accessories, entirely embroidered by hand. The whole production is made in Italy by Italian women each of whom brings a piece of the real MADE in ITALY tradition into divacattiva®’s goods thanks to the extreme care for details typical of tailors’ technique. divacattiva®’s target is a sophisticated woman who looks for a niche product and for a personal and not accredited style
