ABOUT LA STRANIERA
Chi SiamoWelcome to La Straniera, where timeless Italian treasures come to life. We curate a distinctive collection of vintage homewares and Italian décor for those who seek pieces with soul, character, and a story to tell.
La Nostra StoriaOur Story
La Straniera was born from a journey of identity and belonging.
Our founder, Sara, moved from Italy to Australia at the age of eight, forever feeling like ‘La Straniera’—the stranger—caught between two worlds. But this in-betweenness became a gift. It inspired a lifelong passion for uncovering the beautiful, the rare, and the forgotten—pieces that transcend borders and generations.
This deep-rooted connection to Italy and its artisanal heritage is the heart of La Straniera. Each item in our collection is carefully sourced from trusted artisans, antique markets, and small businesses across Italy. We revive forgotten objects and celebrate their beauty, allowing them to become cherished parts of your home.

In a world of mass production, we champion the handmade, the personal, and the meaningful. We value sustainability, honouring the craftsmanship of the past while embracing a philosophy of thoughtful curation. When you bring a La Straniera piece into your home, you are inviting history, artistry, and soul into your space.
