CHRISTMAS SHOPPING IN ROME WITH A BUCKET BAG

Rome is expecting a lot of visitors for Christmas and the shopping tours are becoming more exclusive. Let's check the new boutiques. One of it is called Casata Deréves with its handmade bags. It s located in via Belsiana 101b. My favourite model is the bucket bag and it is proposed in different sizes, material and colours. You can even have it custom made and it will be shipped to your home. The boutique is quite small and extremely elegant. 

In Saint Peter's a new lighting coming from Germany


St. Peter's Square radiates in new LED light thanks to the german Osram lighting expertise. Following refurbishment, modern and energy-efficient outdoor LED luminaires provide a unique lighting experience and also save energy of 70 percent. I went to see it and it is great. The project concept by Direzione dei Servizi Tecnici della Città del Vaticano was realised with support from Osram, the reference partner for global lighting expertise. Cooperation with Servizi Tecnici was also fundamental for the success of the Sistine Chapel project, carried out in 2014.

Hermès in Rome has a new beautiful store

There was a lot of excitement last week for the opening of the Hermès store in via Bocca di Leone 23. The boutique is located in a great Palazzo and has two floors with anything you can imagine: scarves, foulards, shoes, ties and the new bags ( not only Kelly and Birkin) but also pochette, clutches etc... In Hermès there is also fashion for men and woment and home living. Plus the windows are pieces of art. With the tax refund for asians or americans tourists, Hermès canbe bought with an interesting discount.
