Process Collettivo

Top choice in San Polo & Santa Croce


A nonprofit cooperative runs this little shop, selling goods made by inmates of Venice's prisons as part of a social reintegration program. The toiletries are made from plants grown in the garden of the women's prison on Giudecca, while the very hip satchels and shoulder bags constructed from recycled advertising hoardings are made at the men's prison in Santa Croce.
