The best fashion and gift stores Vicenza

No. 147 Corso Palladio is a sublime architectural complex that makes you want to venture in. It's a good thing the gate is open. First, enter the porch and then the inner courtyard, which holds many treasures. There are ancient remains, sculptures here and there, all under a handful of houses: a real sensation. On your left as you enter, you will find a bookstore with an old-fashioned smell. It offers its customers a selection of books in a simple and intimate atmosphere of brocante.

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.

This hat shop exists since the beginning of the XXth century. It produces magnificent hats for men and women and for all occasions. Not to be missed if only to admire the incredible collection of period headwear, displayed in a setting draped in silks and velvets that evokes the couturiers of yesteryear. Among the collector's items, a colonial helmet from the 1920s and Churchill's bowler hat. Also on display are a series of prints and old archives specializing in the subject.
