L’Ottico Fabbricatore

Venice


Husband-and-wife team Francesco and Marianna run this classy store that stocks some of the most brilliant names in Italian fashion. Delicate silks and cashmere are trademark fabrics, while sublime sunglasses accessorise the look – it’s no surprise to learn that Francesco is an optician and that the store was one of the oldest optician’s in Venice.

Also sells quirky shoes and boots.
