The best concept stores Italy

Right in the heart of Trastevere, Elvis Lives is a tiny boutique where Romans and tourists alike have been flocking for the past few years. In fact, it's not uncommon to have to wait a little outside before entering, especially during the festive season. The recipe for success? T-shirts, mugs, socks, fabric bags and stationery featuring celebrities, recipes and proverbs in Italian and Roman. Daje! It's the ideal place to treat yourself to an original souvenir that you won't find anywhere else.

In Piazza dei Signori, in front of the Palladian Basilica, a sumptuous store where fabrics of all kinds and colors dress the shelves and various displays with a grandiose brilliance and a meticulous order. At Manpreso, we specialize above all in artisanal know-how, in handmade sewing, in the making of custom-made outfits for women and men. The other activity of this family business is the marketing of a range of select leather goods.

A trendy spot on the banks of the Arno, a stone's throw from the Ponte Vecchio, that every Florentine knows. Founded in 2006 by Irene Zarrilli, this boutique with a vintage accent offers a collection of romantic womenswear by independent designers. The selection features silk, cashmere, delicate floral motifs, timeless wrap dresses and vintage lingerie. You'll also find vintage jewelry and accessories. It's always worth a look when you're passing through.

Before entering, you will first be attracted by the beautiful decoration of the many windows. And then the discovery of the store is like a walk in the heart of the Sardinian know-how, far from the clichés of the tourist stores. All the articles are of high quality, selected and presented with taste. The range goes from tableware to cosmetics, from basketry to jewelry. And much more... The welcome and the advice are personalized and Giuseppe speaks French. A store to please yourself...
