Yali Tribe

Pia Zanardi, originally Italian, was born in a textile and art obsessed family.
At an early age, she followed her family passion as she fell in love with her grandmother’s couture pieces and the family’s Chinese antiques that have been collected for generations.
Over the past decade, she has traveled and lived between Shanghai, Beijing and rural parts of China, and learned the mainland’s intriguing traditions.
After studying International Business and Chinese culture in London, she now resides in New York where she launched YALI.
