With other branches only in Rome and St. Barths, this exclusive home-furnishings label operates out of two shops that face each other across the lane.

In most of the home products, there are just three colors: white, khaki, and dark chocolate.

La Conchiglia
18 Via Camerelle
Capri Town , Capri
Italy 80073
Tel: 39 081 837 8199
www.laconchigliacapri.com

One of the few remnants of the literary culture that dominated Capri in the early part of the 20th century, when writers and artists flocked here to take part in its supposedly simple, unspoiled way of life. Among the expats who settled here were the British literary lions Norman Douglas and Oscar Wilde; and even Vladimir Lenin took time out from penning revolutionary manifestos to sun himself here for a few weeks in 1908. La Conchiglia, one of three bookshops run by an enterprising local publisher, is a good place to pick up antique prints and maps or secondhand books about Capri—many of them in English.

Tel: 39 081 837 7750
www.laparisiennecapri.it

Founded in 1906, La Parisienne is still the island's best source for Capri pants. You can buy copies of the originals worn by Audrey Hepburn or order your own; a custom pair (around €200) takes a day to make.

Invented almost a century ago by the Canale family, which still runs this business today, Capri's trademark liqueur made with local lemons can be sipped straight, mixed with vodka, or poured over ice cream (whichever you choose, it packs a wallop).
