Our Story

Flavio's began as a frustration with the way luxury is usually sold online: the same handful of factories, repackaged under a dozen labels, marked up for a logo. We wanted something closer to how you'd actually shop if you had the time and the address book — a short list of makers worth knowing, and nothing else.

So that's what we built. Every maison on Flavio's was chosen in person, not sourced from a catalogue: tailors in Naples, leatherworkers in Paris, a cigar house that still rolls by hand. We hold no inventory of our own; when you order, the maker ships it themselves, the way it's always been done. The House of High Culture™ isn't a slogan we picked. It's the standard we hold every piece to before it earns a place here.

Tom Fischer and Max Haseohr met in 2019, at a charity event in Berlin — the kind of evening where conversation drifts, inevitably, to what people are wearing. Both, it turned out, were collectors: of rare ties, of watches that had earned their patina, of pieces that don't get made the same way twice. The conversation didn't end when the evening did.

In 2022, they turned it into a business: Flavio's, an online platform for secondhand finds too good to sit in a drawer — rare Hermès vintage ties and suspenders, vintage Cartier watches, Goyard bags. By 2025, the idea had grown larger than resale. Flavio's became a marketplace built around the most beautiful curation of European craftsmanship, old and new, chosen with the same eye that started it all.
