Gillian Knows Best Guide to Venetian artisans
10 addresses for special Venetian souvenirs from hand blown glass jewelry, velvet slippers to hand tailored clothing
In May, I promised you a list of Venetian artisan shops that I love. I know that I usually won’t shut up about only buying things like pasta and cookies and chocolate for gifts but sometimes you need something a bit less ephemeral. These are the places I go for wedding gifts that are easy to pack and for distinctly Venetian items for my new house. And shoes. Because you can always find a need for a new pair of shoes.
I realized as I was trying to winnow this list down to 10 addresses, I could have included 10 times that. Are you coming to Venice? I can create a list of gorgeous glass jewelry shops, exquisite clothing stores, or original printmakers just for you. Even better, we can spend a few hours here in Venice visiting these places together. Email me for more information.
