Once Upon A Time

Un Amore Italiano

Way back in 1936 Milan, a hard working young man named Nedo Fatai had a passion and a vision to make cosmetics for the stylish population of a booming post-war Italy.

When he retired, he entrusted the successful company he created to the hands of his son Dario who continued to build it from strength to strength. Today the third generation of the Fatai family produce cosmetics with the same equipment, the same love, and to the same secret formulas that started life almost 100 years ago with a uniquely Italian passion and flair.

1936 Original reflects the story and values of the Fatai family who continue work their magic at their home in Milan, with the same love and passion, from their family to yours.
