15 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.

Sandals are a Capri specialty. With a family business stretching back to 1917, owner Vincenzo Faiella is justifiably proud of his made-to-measure footwear. Expect to pay €70 to €150 for a carefully handcrafted pair.

Since 1995 these watchmakers, who opened their store here in 1964, have produced the distinctive, jeweled Capri Watch—the full range is available here.

If you're looking for something that's easily portable to take back from Capri, then eau de toilette, potpourri, or perfumed soap might be just the thing. Carthusia has been making perfumes since 1948, but—as they will proudly tell you—the tradition of perfumery on the island stretches back hundreds of years to the days of Queen Giovanna of Anjou. You can see the perfumes being made through a window at the factory, close to the Certosa di San Giacomo.

Here you'll find a selection of made-on-Capri eau de toilettes and perfumed soaps. Another branch is in Capri Town.

Some tax-free "bargains" might be possible from Capri institution Chantecler, where you can find miniature replicas of the San Michele's Bell of Good Fortune.

Da Costanzo has been the "king" of Caprese sandalmakers since Jackie O, Sophia Loren, and Grace Kelly all purchased pairs here in the good old days.

Named after San Michele's bell, Capri's good luck symbol, La Campanina has crafted distinctive jewelry since 1950. Owner Lina Federico's family was involved in the production process for the bell that was presented to President Roosevelt at Christmas in 1944 (this is now on display at the Museum of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library in New York), which inspired the shop's name. The family-run shop is also Capri's only official Rolex dealer.

With a selection of more than 1,000 wines (including kosher varieties) as well as marmalades and local Capri "stone" sweets (chocolate-covered almonds), this is an ideal place for connoisseurs to purchase gifts or souvenirs, especially given that the shop ships all over the world, as well as providing a service for yachts.

Just down the road from the Casa Rossa, Anacapri's branch of the island's bookstore and imprint carries luscious tomes on local history.

La Conchiglia offers the largest selection of books on Capri and publishes many sumptuous tomes through its own imprint. There's also a branch in Anacapri.

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.

In the heart of Capri Town, this gallery is a favorite for collectors and enthusiasts of contemporary art, with paintings by local and international artists available to buy. They also have a branch in Anacapri and are responsible for the installations that dot the island in summer months.

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.
