Make Christmas memorable with Riva Boutique
This Christmas, give something unique: a truly exclusive product, capable of conveying special emotions while telling a tale of uncompromising excellence. Riva Boutique (www.rivaboutique.it), the official Riva online store, offers a vast selection of exquisite products, ranging from collectibles to designer home décor pieces, and from clothing and accessories to high-tech items.
This elegant and refined collection, perfect for surprising family, friends or co-workers on any occasion, fully embodies its guiding vision - “Riva inside, inside Riva” -, which transcends the brand to create an authentic experience. And not just any experience, but one as unique as Riva itself: a treasure chest of timeless values, defined by the same top-quality materials and meticulous attention to detail which, for the past 175 years, have written a history of unsurpassed craftsmanship.
The collector's items are extraordinary scale models that combine fun for children with aesthetic appeal for adults. These elegant reproductions are made with the same attention to detail and the same precious woods as actual Riva yachts. The books, too, are extremely compelling: exciting accounts of Riva legends give the reader an exclusive look into the iconic boatyard.
The clothing items are wearable excellence, equally suitable for days at sea or invoking memories of aquatic adventures past. With high-quality fabrics, classic yet sophisticated designs, and meticulous attention to detail, they embody the love of perfection that is typical of Riva.
Our line of high-tech articles and accessories is sure to wow this holiday season. Small items of extraordinary quality, wholly representative of Riva elegance, are made with the same prized mahogany and maple essences used for the actual yachts.
Home décor pieces can also serve as everyday luxuries for any gift recipient. The precious towels, for instance, feature plush terry cotton in navy blue or in the brand's iconic aquamarine. This stunning colour is most closely associated with sunny charm of the Riva world; it is reminiscent of both the home and the beach. The furnishings, with their refined and inimitable style, incorporate the trademark chrome platings seen on board the “ladies in mahogany”. The same fabric is used on the exterior seating of the yachts, and the pinstripes mimic those found on the decks. Together, this forms a magical combination designed to recreate the atmosphere of a Riva yacht inside your home.
COLLECTOR’S ITEMS
