Annelie
from:
Fisheye Venice

Annelie
Pizzi e Recami is a gorgeous shop on the Calle Lunga San
Barnaba, just off the Campo S. Barnaba in the direction of the Zattere. The
owner, a native of Austria who has lived in Venice for nearly 20 years, offers a
wide selection of beautiful nightgowns (vintage and new), embroidered little
girls' dresses, purses, sachets, linens, and other items at prices that range
from four or five euros to €100 or more.
The
shop is lovely, the owner is both knowledgeable and charming, and the prices are
extremely reasonable for the quality of the merchandise. What's more, most of
the products are locally made--in some cases, from imported materials. The
little girls' cotton dresses, for example, are pieced together from embroidered
Chinese tea towels, resulting in dresses that look far more expensive than they
are.
If you're looking for a romantic souvenir or gift from
Venice, you're likely to find it at Annelie. It's the kind of shop that's hard
to leave empty-handed.
