Here's the pun for those who haven't mastered the language of Dante: if you separate each of the words, you get "livres à boutique"(libri da bottega), but the apostrophe after the l reflects the spirit of this friendly bookshop, "l'hybride boutique"(l'ibrida bottega). Here, readers are king: they can find books on Turin, take part in literary evenings and practice book crossing by dropping off one book and picking up another free of charge. The Ibrida Bottega is also a design boutique where you can find trendy writing utensils.

An avant-garde boutique born of the passion for fashion of two German designers who, after the success of their Berlin store, decided to open one in Turin. They did so in January 2005. The items, with their somewhat underground, even unconventional style, feature original cuts in which leather often takes pride of place. The creations respect the craftsmanship involved from start to finish, whether for bags or garments. The store is also the manufacturing workshop.

To the west of the city, in the Cenisia district, Piazza Benefica - originally Piazza Martini - takes its name from the fact that, in the past, clothes were distributed here for the poor.

Bargains all round!

Very popular with Turin women, who make a point of visiting at least once a week, the Mercato della Crocetta focuses mainly on clothing merchandise, with the exception of a few vintage pieces of furniture and jewelry. If you look hard enough, you'll be able to pick up a Louis Vuitton bag or Ray-Ban glasses for slightly less than you'd pay in a store. It's nice to take a break between purchases and drink a good cappuccino in a friendly atmosphere. This market has been around for over a century.

Mesure for glasses? It exists! In the brand new boutique of Via Mazzini each model is unique, designed especially on your face and perfectly adapts to your preferences of shapes and colours.

It's now five generations since the windows of the Sartoria (fashion house) opened along Via Regina, in the heart of Cernobbio. Encouraged by the region's elite tourists, Pietro Orefice began his dressmaking business in 1856. From a small workshop, the Orefice house has dressed many crowned heads, as well as leading figures in politics, business and cinema. Today, the Orefice family continues this tradition of excellence, respecting the rules of hand-crafted, made-to-measure production.

A beautiful shop that offers the most beautiful local handicrafts, including puncetto, a lace composed of a series of knots made of cotton thread, made with a single needle to form a geometric pattern, to create placemats, handkerchiefs, curtains and decorations for liturgical vestments. The oldest text referring to this feminine craft dates back to the 17th century. You will also find the scapin, the traditional Valsesia slipper, and carved wooden objects and soapstone tools.

A fairy tale jeweler, with lots of lovely little things for girls of all ages. Arriving from his native Sardinia in the 1960s, Mr. Merù began repairing watches and clocks. Little by little his painted enamel pendants and earrings became must-haves to offer for baptism and first communion. The extremely fine rings are true masterpieces. As you enter the shop, look on the doorstep: antique clocks are embedded in the floor!

Did you know that? Verona is the home of the famous Intimissimi lingerie brand. So it's only natural that the boutique located just across the Arena is the most emblematic of the group. The choice of lingerie is infinite, enough to satisfy all tastes. You will also find t-shirts, pyjamas and pretty tops for men and women, in all colours and sizes. And even though the brand is now present all over the world, it's always nice to bring something back from your home town in your luggage.
