Carlo & Laura Brizzi

Built together.
Built to last.

Carlo was born into the fashion industry. His family operated six ladies wear retail stores for over 50 years — so when it came time to build something of his own, he knew exactly what independent retailers needed, because he'd grown up watching them work.

Carlo and Laura met working in wholesale and built their agency together, spending 32 years representing quality brands across Western Canada. The relationships they built weren't just business — they were friendships, built on shared values and a commitment to doing things properly.

"We've always believed that good product should be accessible to every retailer — not just the big ones."
The Journey

How we got here.

1989

The Agency is Founded

Carlo and Laura establish Carlo Brizzi Agency in Vancouver, BC. Drawing on decades of retail and wholesale experience, they set out to build a different kind of agency — one focused on genuine relationships and fair terms.

2000s

Growing Across Western Canada

Over three decades, Carlo and Laura build a network of over 300 retail partners across Western Canada. Their reputation for quality product and honest dealing sets them apart in a crowded wholesale market.

2020

Retirement — and a New Chapter

After decades in the industry, Carlo and Laura retire to a farm on Vancouver Island. The plan was to slow down. The industry had other ideas.

2022

Called Back for Dolcezza

Carlo and Laura are called back to help launch Dolcezza across Australia and New Zealand. What started as a short-term commitment became the foundation for a new phase of the agency — expanding their reach to three continents.

Today

Expanding Into the US

Carlo Brizzi Agency now represents multiple brands across Australia, New Zealand, and the United States — with the same values, the same standards, and the same commitment to the independent retailers who have always been at the heart of the business.

What We Stand For

The principles that guide us.

Independent retailers first

We work with boutique retailers, not department stores. Our entire model is designed around the needs of independent store owners — the people who make fashion retail interesting.

Quality over volume

We only carry brands whose product we believe in. Every line we represent has been personally evaluated by Carlo and Laura — if they wouldn't stock it themselves, we don't carry it.

Honest commercial terms

We keep our margins lean so your margins can be healthy. We're not interested in extracting every dollar from every transaction — we're interested in long-term relationships that work for everyone.

No pressure, ever

There's no cost to becoming a stockist. Request samples before committing. Browse at your own pace. We'd rather earn your trust than pressure you into an order you regret.

The Brands We Carry

Carefully chosen. Personally vetted.

Every brand in our portfolio has been selected because we believe in the product and the manufacturer behind it.
