Shopping
Capri is a place where you can buy everything and more from the various artisanal workshops and luxury boutiques. The first category includes numerous wine shops, delicatessens and craft shops where you can buy typical souvenirs such as a bottle of white wine made from the island’s grapes and a bottled of prized extra virgin olive oil, the famous colorful and creative Capri sandals and the equally famous canvas and cord shoes. You can also buy wonderful silk and wool fabrics, hand woven using traditional techniques, and great smelling perfumes: natural essences enclosed in characteristic ceramic phials. “Carthusia” is a kind of institution. It is the oldest and most famous essence laboratory on the island and has been winning over fashion icons since the 1940s, including Grace Kelly, Jackie Kennedy and modern stars such as Halle Berry, Naomi Campbell and Madonna. This small laboratory creates perfumes using herbs and spices that grow naturally on the island, such as rosemary and wild jasmine, using the same techniques adopted by the Carthusian monks in the Charterhouse of San Giacomo more than five hundred years ago.
When it comes to Capri’s haute couture boutiques, you are spoilt for choice. Via Camerelle is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most elegant street on the island, with the greatest concentration of Italian and foreign labels such as Gucci, Ferrè, Cartier and Louis Vuitton.
