Surprise! Not one, not two, but three new favorite shops are joining OG Venice Travel Guide today. And yes, there might just be something here for everyone:
Zacaria's Oggetti Artistici is taking the top spot in our Artisan Shops & Souvenirs Section for two reasons: 1. The artist owner here makes really beautiful, whimsical and uplifting pieces that are completely unique and stand out in such a positive light against the usual souvenirs in Venezia. 2. These gorgeous pieces are available at incredibly low prices. And when I say that, I mean that a visitor to Venice can shop here for the same or less than s/he would spend at a shop that sold imported souvenirs. This would be my own first choice for souvenir shopping in Venice.
L'Armadio di Coco Vintage Lab is taking the top spot in our Vintage & Second Hand Section because they have an awesome collection of designer vintage clothing and accessories for both men and women at great prices. I could have spent hours going through the racks there!
OPVS is taking the top spot in our Leather Goods and Handbags Section because their pieces are everything that a handmade Italian leather handbag is supposed to be and more. Every piece of these bags, from the leather to lining is handmade in the Veneto and they are of the quality that has made Italian leather goods famous the world over. With unlimited funds to purchase a handbag, I would still walk past every famous fashion house on Calle XXII Marzo on my way to buy it here. However, you don't really need unlimited funds as the prices here are surpassingly reasonable for what you will get.
