Shopping in Capri

  1. A

    La Parissienne

    First opened in 1906 (yes, that is not a misprint!), and best known for introducing Capri pants in the 1960s, famously worn by Jacqueline Onassis, who bought them from here – La Parissienne can run you up a made-to-measure pair within a day. Apparently Clark Gable was another Hollywood star who favoured the fashions here, particularly the Bermuda shorts, which (believe it or not) were considered quite raffish in their day.

  2. B

    Limoncello Capri

    For limoncello go up to Anacapri and Limoncello Capri, the birthplace of limoncello. Apparently, the grandmother of current owner Vivica made the tot as an after-dinner treat for the guests in her hotel, some 100 years ago.

    Carthusia I Profumi di Capri

    For a lemon-scented perfume try Carthusia I Profumi di Capri in Capri Town.

    Supermercato Decò

    Next to the police station is this good place to load up with picnic provisions.
