4 Best Places to Shop in Capri, Capri, Ischia, and Procida

For a one-of-a-kind piece from Capri, head to this concept shop just a two-minute walk from the Piazzetta. You'll find chic caftans, beachwear, bags, and home decor featuring drawings by the owner's grandmother (a prominent figure during the island's Dolce Vita heyday) reinterpreted in a modern way.

Capri's main shopping streets—the Via Vittorio Emanuele and Via Camerelle, down the road from the island's main square, La Piazzetta—are crammed with world-famous names (Gucci, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Ferragamo, Hermès). But if you're overwhelmed by the choice and are looking for something stylish but distinctively Capri—in an astonishing range of colors—check out the bright prints on artisan-tailored clothes, bags, and shoes by Neapolitan Livio De Simone and other designers at La Parisienne. This is also a good place to purchase copies of the original Capri pants.

Lovers of fashion, both Italian and international, appreciate this hip boutique at the Capri Palace, which sells its own upscale items, as well as those by big labels such as Versace, Valentino, Missoni, Trussardi, and Hugo Boss. It also deals in fine ceramics and has a children's clothing section.

The boutiques of Roberto Russo are favored by fashion folk. Russo Capri has one of the island's largest selections of casual chic clothes.
