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.

Atelier Pietro Longhi
Fancy a helmet and sword to go with your tailor-made Carnevale costume? Or indeed, just about any kind of costume item, from a Harlequin outfit through to 18th-century gala wear? The shop provides costumes for opera companies and offers accessories ranging from 17th-century wigs to antique English pistols.
-
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.

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).
-
Fiorella Gallery
All sorts of odd, billowing and fantastical clothing items adorn the transvestite doge mannequins scattered about the inside and in the windows of this unique store. High fashion it ain't, but it's definitely a spur to curiosity. Swastika-decorated underpants may not do it for you, but shock tactics are part of the gallery's stock in trade. Partly aimed at a very out gay scene, it attracts above all an uninhibited clientele of all persuasions.

Giovanna Zanella
Freaky shoes are the business in this singular little boutique. It's not just the sometimes-surprising colours or the beyond-fashion approach. Some of the footwear is just plain wacky. Try the gold-coloured feet-shaped shoes for size, or the ones that look like gondolas.
-
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.
-
Gualti
The searing white interior of this fashion oddity houses two quite unrelated collections: a set of daring ladies' satin shoes and strangely luminous brooches, pins and similar accessories.
-
Hibiscus
Anything but a classic women's fashion store, Hibiscus presents an imaginative array of stylish threads. Everything is handmade by young designers: flowing dresses with unabashedly bright colours or a more washed-out, hippy touch lead the way. Classic high-end Italian fashion this is not. There's a selection of chunky jewellery too.
-
Manuela Calzature
This is a small family business with a broad if somewhat conservative range of shoes, including more expensive footwear that the family makes under its own name. Don't judge it by the cheap junk outside, and dare to penetrate inside this musty, narrow store.

Mori & Bozzi
These pumps aren't for frumps. Ladies, pop in here for fun footwear. Sandals to high heels, platforms to flats, you'll find all sorts of designs to wiggle your toes in.
-
Segalin Footwear
'Now this is class,' a group of admiring French tourists sighed as they peered in the shop window. Run by the legendary Segalin family of cobblers, this is a top spot for having footwear (for men and women) made to measure.
-
Store
In this one, tight shop you'll find an eclectic range of class brands imported from Barcelona, Paris, London and beyond. You might encounter anything from golfing trousers through Barbour coats to Argentine polo players' clobber. Pick up a pair of braces or choose from the array of accessories.
-
Tolin
A master repairman of all things in leather, Signor Tolin also makes shoes and boots to measure of all descriptions, including orthopaedic ones. Shoes are piled up any old how in the shop window. Two-toned numbers, girl's boots, classic shoes for stepping out - you name it, Signor Tolin can probably do it!
