About Bussola Vintage

Who we are

It all began with a love for traveling and discovering the world.

Over the years, I’ve visited multiple times more than 25 countries, and every time I found myself drawn to the flea markets, dusty antique shops, and little hidden stores filled with forgotten treasures.

I started collecting pieces that caught my eye—beautiful and unusual jewelry, brooches, eccentric collectibles, and unique objects that I simply couldn’t resist.

Each piece felt like a little discovery, carrying its own story and a sense of the place where I found it.

Slowly, without even realizing it, these finds became a beautiful and very personal collection that I could hardly imagine letting go of.

What began as a personal passion eventually grew when I discovered that others shared the same appreciation for these special, one-of-a-kind treasures.

I started attending festivals and events, offering some of my findings for sale, meeting people who were just as excited by the charm and character of these finds as I was.

Over time, this passion naturally evolved into a business.

Today, Bussola allows me to keep doing what I love most: traveling, exploring, hunting for those unexpected treasures, and bringing together a collection of pieces that are beautiful, unusual, and full of character—then sharing them with a wider audience online.

How sourcing works

Every piece is found on a journey, so most exist only once. When a piece is sold, it does not come back.

  1. Travel

    I travel and explore flea markets, dusty antique shops and hidden stores, in more than 25 countries so far.

  2. Find

    I look for pieces that catch my eye: beautiful and unusual jewelry, brooches, eccentric collectibles and unique objects with character.

  3. Bring back

    Each find comes home with me, carrying its own story and a sense of the place where I found it.

  4. Sell once

    Each piece is one of a kind. Once it is sold it does not come back, which is why sold pieces stay on the site as a record.

What we sell

Vintage findings, collectibles, souvenirs, silver and more: beautiful, unusual pieces full of character, chosen one by one.

Before you buy

These are vintage and collectible pieces, so signs of age are part of their character. I describe each one as honestly as I can, with its measurements, its maker and its age when I know them, and the photos show the actual piece.
