Via Borgognona (Borgognona Street), Rome
For a less crowded, more relaxed shopping experience, head to Via Borgognona, running parallel to the famous Via dei Condotti.

Here you will find interspersed premiere Italian and international labels such as Emilio Pucci, Moschino, Fratelli Rossetti, Balenciaga, Roberto Cavalli, Stella McCartney, and BlueMarine.
Discerning gentlemen should pay a visit to the chic menswear store Eddy Monetti. Originally founded in 1887, this brand offers sophisticated clothing and accessories. Il Bisonte is a great place for stocking up on leather bags and accessories while Iro’s minimalist menswear, womenswear and accessories styles are perfect for all seasons.

Their fruit plates are elegantly served on ice in silver buckets, but do save dessert for macarons at next-door Laudurée.
