Shopping in Capri, what to buy on holiday on the island:
It is well known that Capri fashion and style have become iconic and known throughout the world since the 1950s.
Just think of the tailored bikinis, the Capri sandals, the classic capri ankle trousers, the hand-decorated straw bags. These are just some of the garments and accessories that, thanks to the divas of the past and today, have become true must haves for all women who love elegance and timeless style. So what to buy during a day of shopping in Capri? We recommend 5 things to bring with you that will never go out of fashion and items that can embellish your home, real gems to buy in the few authentic and historic shops and boutiques left on the island. Take note: 1) Once you arrive in Capri, if you want to treat yourself to an authentic pair of handcrafted Capri sandals, where should you go? Given that on Capri there are many shops selling Capri sandals but few, or rather very few, can boast a long-standing history and tradition in our territory, the majority of the shops selling these shoes on the island have recently opened and are often ready-made footwear made on the mainland... So if you want a pair of authentic sandals, personalized and created on the spot for you, the best shops, both now in their third generation, are undoubtedly DA COSTANZO CAPRI and CUCCURULLO which have always been located within walking distance respectively. from the Piazzetta (in via Roma) and to the Port of Marina Grande. Here you can choose from hundreds of colours, jewel applications and models and with a short wait the master shoemakers will make your pair of sandals on the spot in excellent and high quality materials. 2) Among the first to wear them was Jackie Kennedy and subsequently many other divas of those years such as Brigitte Bardot and Audrey Hepburn loved them and chose them as a comfortable item to wear during their Capri holidays and beyond. Capri pants are today a truly iconic garment that have never gone out of fashion since the 1950s. Made in various fabrics from cotton to silk, they can be a real passe par tout both during the day and in the evening if combined with the right footwear! Very elegant with a jewel sandal or a heel, more casual with a basic sandal or a moccasin. If you want to treat yourself to an authentic pair of tailored Capri pants, where should you go on the island? Without a shadow of a doubt in the Laboratorio Capri store/tailoring shop. Here, since the post-war 1950s, tailor Gigino and his wife Marialuisa have been making tailor-made Capri trousers for a global clientele. Today, by going to the boutique you will have the opportunity to choose from many exclusive patterns, fabrics and models and have the garment tailor-made for you. Très chic don't you think? 3) Capri style straw and wicker bags have always been synonymous with Capri style, perfect to wear on a beach holiday wherever you are! Embellished with crochet and marabou applications; personalized with a phrase, a name or more simply in classic colored wicker, they are a real gem to show off. Depending on your budget, we offer you two island boutique shops where you can purchase this accessory: Capridea and Laboratorio Capri. (Both located a few steps from the Piazzetta). At Capridea you just have to choose the model and give space to your imagination, in the Laboratorio Capri boutique you can instead choose from the many and very refined models offered, some of which are lined in pure silk with an exclusive print of the boutique. Each one different from the other, a true paradise for lovers of exclusivity! 4) Capri does not only offer uniqueness in the field of clothing but also in that of body fragrances based on local products and fresh home fragrances with delicate notes, just like the perfumes that pervade the streets of the island. If you are looking for a product that is authentic and full of benefits we suggest you go to one of the CapriOleum stores both located on the main shopping street of Anacapri. The beauty products in this boutique are all based on EVO oil and local lemons. From face creams to delicate and hydrating body creams. If you are looking for some Capri souvenirs, here you can also find a home decor line of home fragrances, scented candles and bars of soap with the delicate scent of lemons or olive flowers. 5) Finally, you can't miss out on bringing Caprese-style ceramics with you! Whether it's a small souvenir (for example a set of limoncello glasses, a ceramic Saint Michael bell) or a more important home decor piece, we suggest you stop in these two shops:
L'Oasi ceramiche (located in via Axel munthe in Anacapri) and Capri bell (with three sales points in the port of Marina Grande) In the first store you will find a vast selection of ceramic items perfect for every environment and every furnishing style! From classic ceramics with lemons to those in a marine style. This boutique also offers a small selection of textiles with motifs inspired by refined island beauties with a decidedly fair quality/price ratio! If you have little space left in your suitcase we recommend purchasing a small ceramic bell. The classic St. Michael's bell is destined to make the wishes of its owner come true with every ring of it. Available in hundreds of models, colors and compositions, it is packaged with a small parchment bearing the legend of Saint Michael, embellishing the article and giving it not only an aesthetic but a special value.
