In Rome, in via Crispi 53, just in time for the Christmas season, the reopening of Carbotti. The store was established in 1920. At the beginnin they were selling fabrics. Now you can find italian great brands such as Aspesi but also different kind of shirts, men suits, plus the british Drake's scarves and ties (in the picture below). Last but not least the famous Cheaney shoes from the Northamptonshire. A great shopping opportunity near the Spanish steps.
Christmas Shopping in Rome starts with a glamourous tree
A lot of fashion brands are sending me press releases on Christmas shopping to help me with readers and tourists. As you might know I am at the same time journalist and personal shopper. In Rome you can book wih grandtourshopping.com a special tour and I will give you good tips. First of all we can start with a glamourous and fashionable Christmas tree. For example you can dress it with a Versace outfit. I love the beautifull coffrets of the Rosenthal Collection. You can get balls and bells decorated with a romantic flowers fantasy.
In Rome shopping with Damiani for the clean water project in Africa
Last week I met in Rome Giorgio Damiani and the former japanese football player Hidetoshi Nakata. I was with a group of journalists and we were invited around 12 AM in the boutique of via Condotti for a press conference. Damiani and Nakata introduce us to their new collection calledMetropolitan Dream. It has a very light style and it is wearable by either men and women. Part of the revenues will go to the Drop in the Bucket, an international organisation which construct water wells in African countries especially in Uganda and South Sudan.
