The posting

About Pratesi

In 1896, a young wine merchant named Remigio Pratesi fell in love with a beautiful woman in his village outside of Florence. In hopes of wooing her, Remigio commissioned an exquisite set of linens handwoven by local seamstresses.

By 1906, the local nobility sought his hand-crafted linens, and the house of Pratesi was born. The first Pratesi boutique opened in the seaside town of Forte dei Marmi, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea off the coast of Tuscany. By 1945, a flagship store was established in Milan on the prestigious via Montenapoleone, before expanding worldwide.

The Role – Sales & Design Consultant

Whether you’re greeting clients for the first time in store or by phone, you'll take time to listen to their needs and inspire them by talking passionately about the Pratesi brand, product offering and what makes us unique.
