Schegge
Go incognito in style, with highly original masquerade masks revealing influences as diverse as Gothic architecture and Modigliani. Well into the night, you’ll find this dedicated mother-daughter team wielding tiny paintbrushes, coaxing minute baroque tendrils into bloom along the side of a Klimt mask.

Camiceria San Marco
Have quality shirts tailor-made in San Marco! If you can wait 10 or so days, choose from numerous models the kind that suits you best and then pick the material, anything from cotton to silk. Dressing gowns and silk pyjamas are options too. Wander in and inspect the limitless bolts of material waiting to be turned into your clothes.

Araba Fenice
This is a stylish local alternative to the big names nearby for elegant women's suits, usually cut from wool or linen. Or the long dresses with matching nifty vests might catch your eye. A few steps west, at the bridge, is the house where 15-year-old Mozart stayed with friends and had a whale of a time during Carnevale in 1771.

Tragicomica
This is one of the city's bigger mask and costume merchants, and is quite overwhelming at first sight. Enter what to all intents is an enchanted forest of mesmerising masks. Faces loom out at you from all directions as you pick your way through the shop.

Godi Fiorenza
In this beautiful vaulted brick cave, jammed into a street corner, rest breezy women's fashion items cooked up by a two-sister team that learned much of the trade in London. Simple summer dresses or richly embroidered camisoles wait to be snapped up.

Kirikù
It is easy to feel badly dressed in Venice (or just about anywhere else in Italy). If your kids are in the same boat, this is the place to stock up on some stylish threads for small people, from fresh-born babies to pimply adolescents.

Fabio Gatto
One side of this delectable double store offers smart skirts and shirts and crisp jackets, while the other side leans towards elegant evening wear, all long, slimline dresses with few frills (no sequins here).
