Meet NANCY
I grew up in a small coal-mining town in Pennsylvania, where my parents owned a clothing boutique and tailor shop. I learned early that every stitch mattered, every customer deserved exceptional care, and lasting relationships were built one conversation at a time.
In our family’s tailor shop, customers didn’t simply walk through the front door—they often became part of our family, joining us around the dinner table.
Those lessons became the foundation of my 30+ year career in sales and marketing leadership and continue to shape how I build relationships, uncover opportunities, and partner with independent retailers, designers, and architects.
Today, through Taffera Tailored Living and Nancy Taffera-Santos Curated Collections, I represent VIETRI, Portmeirion Group, and ORTIGIA, bringing heritage tabletop, luxury home, and lifestyle collections to the Northwest.
Meet VIETRI
Founded in 1983, VIETRI partners with skilled artisans throughout Italy to create handcrafted collections for the table, home, and garden. Inspired by the beauty of Italian craftsmanship and hospitality, each piece is painted, glazed, and fired by hand using techniques passed down through generations.
Timeless design, vibrant color, and exceptional quality make VIETRI collections beautiful enough for entertaining yet durable enough for everyday life.
