Here’s a little secret…shhhhhhhhh! Each year when I head to Portofino my first stop is a little store high up above the sea side little restaurants and gelato bar at the wharf and sits right on top of the Louis Vuitton shop. Actually there are two stores owned by the same owner. 19 Andrea’s 47 is full of heavenly cashmere or linen scarves depending on the season and next door in G B Frugone 1885 you’ll be able to stock up on some high quality staples for your wardrobe. Classic Italian resort wear for summer with the long crisp open neck linen shirt dresses in a rainbow of summer pastels to wear over your Pucci bikini, or fine linen shoulder wraps and jackets by Camilla Clodel, all products of exclusive quality made in Italy. For winter the shelves are stocked with soft 100% cashmere sweaters, shoulder wraps and jackets in warm winter tones, some reversible and all so soft to touch. This inconspicuous little store is a treat to visit next time you stop off in Portofino on the Italian Riviera. xmm |
