Global brands unite as La Bottega Collective makes worldwide debut
The all-new La Bottega Collective, which includes Australia’s Vanity Group, alongside Palatino Hospitality, Beltrami, White Privé and parent company La Bottega was launched at the company’s new showroom at Via della Spiga 46, in the heart of Milan’s Fashion District.
La Bottega Collective CEO, Tommaso Pacini, said the space, designed to reflect the atmosphere of a luxurious hotel, “invites visitors to immerse themselves in the different worlds that make this platform dedicated to the most sophisticated realm of hospitality, unique”.
He said new showrooms will also be inaugurated in New York and Dubai, cities that host the company’s head offices overseeing business in the Americas and the Middle East.
It has been quite the journey for Pacini, who leads La Bottega, a company with over forty years of market presence and internationally, in creating the new ‘La Bottega Collective’ in bringing together some of the world’s leading luxury beauty essentials and textiles brands that are focused on hospitality.
A targeted buy and build strategy by Pacini led to the acquisition of leading companies in their respective sectors.
The company added Beltrami, a luxury textile maison based in Bergamo, Italy that was founded in 1965 is renowned for its artisanal Made in Italy linens, found in the world’s most exclusive hotels, spas, yachts, and residences; Vanity Group, an Australian-born leader in the beauty essentials sector with a first-class portfolio of licensed brands, founded by Paul Tsalikis; and Palatino, with offices in Hong Kong and Paris, is a pioneer in bespoke OS&E (operating supplies and equipment) accessories and in design consultancy (through its division Colosseo).
“What you see today began with my father in 1981,” Pacini said. “Honouring his legacy is both a privilege and a responsibility, and it continues to guide every step we take with La Bottega Collective.
“I am proud to be joined today by partners who immediately recognized the value of this innovative project, and who bring extraordinary contributions to the journey we have begun together.
“The integration of our companies has brought together diverse cultures, perspectives, and talents, because we believe diversity drives innovation.
“We have a production flexibility, an excellent distribution reach, and a speed of execution that very few players in this industry can match,” Pacini said
In 2026, a series of initiatives is planned in major cities where La Bottega Collective is present, including London, Paris, Barcelona, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Sydney.
