Shopping in Venice |
Shopping in Venice is a feast for the eyes - from the world famous Murano glass, Fortuny Lamps, Carneval Masks or colorful italian leather and jewels, there's something for everyone's taste.
Rubelli Fabrics
Hidden in a tiny square just off Piazza San Marco, the Rubelli Boutique, showcasing the luxurious fabrics of Lorenzo Rubelli, was first opened in 1918. Clients can not only choose from the velvet and silk displayed, but can also make use of the vast collection of historical documents and designs to create pieces with unique patterns and motifs.
Some of the finest Rubelli silk damasks can be seen decorating the grand apartments of the Palazzo Ducale.
Campo San Gallo, San Marco 1089
Fortuny
The opulent Venetia Studium in Calle Larga XXII Marzo displays beautiful Fortuny lamps. The painter and fabric designer, Mariano Fortuny, invented the silk-pleating process at the turn of the century and Venetia Studium has revived his tradition by recreating the silk lamp shade and pleated scarves for which he was famous.

Traditional Masks
Just off Rialto Bridge, La Bottega dei Mascheri is one of the best places to buy masks: the ultimate symbol of the city. Run by Sergio and Massimo Boldrin, their interpretation of classic Commedia dell'Arte masks such as Arlecchino and Pulcinella have been used in theatre productions around the world.
