SHOPPING IN ROME WALKING THROUGH PIAZZA SAN LORENZO IN LUCINA

In these days of the Black Friday weekend, it is nice to walk through Piazza San Lorenzo in Lucina. I love this square for different reasons: it is pedestrian, there are great beautiful stores and one of my favourite bar in town: Ciampini. The ice cream there is one of the best. Plus they won the award for an extremely good clubsandwich. I often bumped into friends over there.

There are in piazza San Lorenzo in Lucina, some of the most important brands of the world. In front of Ciampini, you have Saint Laurent (now designed by Anthony Vaccarello) with leather jackets and small black bags that an american client bought few weeks ago. Next to it, Bottega Veneta with the best evening clutches in the fashion system. On the same side of the street Car shoe for mocassins. In front of it three masterpieces : Pomellato for jewels ( have a look at their rings and chains), Casadei for evening and elegant shoes. Last but not least, Louis Vuitton. One of the biggest store in Europe, the Louis Vuitton boutique used to be a movie theatre called Etoile. It opens few years ago. The architect is an american legend, Peter Marino.

In order to discover the secrets of this square, you should book a tour with us www.grandtourshopping.com before Christmas. We will have a dedicated tour and, by the way, a fantastic experience.

A GREAT STREET FOR SHOPPING IN ROME : VIA BORGOGNONA

One of the best street in Rome for shopping is via Borgognona. It is a pedestrian street, no cars at all. It is not too crowded because often people prefer via del Corso which is more commercial. In Via Borgognona a lot of elegant boutiques but also some affordable ones. You can find hip and cool stores such as Stella Mc Cartney, SportMax, Les Copains, Brunello Cucinelli.

When I talk about affordable boutiques, I speak about Cos and Other Stories where you can find skirts, blazers, coats but also dresses and shoes. In Other Stories, for example, a great selection of Adidas Sneakers. It is also the street of a great historical italian restaurant : NINO where you can get fantastic pasta and vegetables cooked roman style..

Don’t forget to book as soon as possible for a great shopping tour in Rome with www.grandtourshopping.com We can help you for Christmas presents.

Shopping in Rome for Black Friday at Stella Mc Cartney

Even though I am showing you the spring-summer collection, you can go to visit the Stella Mac Cartney boutique in Rome in via Borgognona 6, it is off via del Corso and parallel to via Condotti. She is considered one of the most contemporary designer in the world of fashion. Last march, She bought back Kering’s stake in her business. The brand is independent.

Her emphasis, for next spring- summer collection but, generally speaking She is often a great spokeswoman of comfortable clothes. Tye and Dye jeans, denim boilersuits, large blazers and large pants. The evening dresses are great, especially the long orange one we are showing you below. The message is clear: take it easy… A lot of clothes were cut in boxy boyfriend silhouettes in linen or sustainable viscose because Stella Mac Cartney is one of the most eco-friendly designer of the world.

For all these reasons it is important to come with www.grandtourshopping.com and explore this wonderful brand. Even in Rome. Starting from the Black Friday but we can shop even before Christmas or New Year’s Eve. Dont’t miss the opportunity.
