About

Ciao!
I'm Virginia, and I'm the founder of At Last Emporium.

Born in Italy, I've been living in London for over 15 years.

In my first career, I worked for top fashion brands in Milan and London, across research and development in the design teams.
From womenswear to menswear, from clothes to accessories I've done it (almost) all, but my speciality was creating fabrics and trims. My absolute favourites!
And it was fun and exciting for about twenty years, but in the end, the relentless production and need for constant newness was not something I enjoyed anymore. 

So, At Last, I decided to leave it all behind, take a leap of faith and start a new journey.

To begin, all I had to do was follow my heart and return to the most beautiful place on earth.
Venezia. My home.

I grew up very close to the city on water so it was a natural decision to go back to my roots and reconnect with the incredible beauty that is glass making.
It was during an extended stay on the island and the idea of developing my own line of colourful buttons, that I knew without a doubt that Murano Glass would be the next chapter in my life.

With an extensive experience in fashion and equipped with a vision, I started working with some of the most incredible glass makers in Murano, drawing on the classic techniques that made Venetian glass famous around the world.
Honouring these millennia-old Venetian traditions while creating unique and extraordinary jewellery gives me a lot of joy, and I hope that you’re excited too to join me on this journey.
