The Souvenir: Emporio Centrale



The other day in Rome, I walked a route to Piazza Farnese that I hadn’t taken before, and not only did I run into friends from the Napa Valley, I found this incredible store,  Emporio Centrale, that opened in December. If you’re a fan of Labour and Wait in London, this place is for you—in fact, they acknowledge it was a big source of inspiration. Every single object (from kitchen to cosmetics, with the best old-world packaging for kids’ games) was so well considered, and even better, well priced. We bought two coffee cup sets at 4.90 each, and a little Calabrese perfume for just under 10 euros. They even have Venetian slippers in great colors (gray, navy, and also brights) for, shockingly, just under 50 euros. It’s an amazing place to get inspired and to also pick up any souvenirs for yourself and whomever you’re gifting.
