“There is no world without Verona walls. But purgatory, torture, hell itself”, Rome and Juliet, Act III, Scene III. Near the banks of Lake Garda, with the Adige River as a backdrop and set in the wonderful Veneto plains, Verona has always been a land of desperate passions, peoples in transit and trade. It saw the rise of the della Scala lordship and with it, its beauty. It too is packed with riches and haute couture brands from clothes to shoes, jewellery, watches and leather.

After a varied and tasty breakfast of sweet and savoury delicacies in Hotel Due Torri’s restaurant and, on sunny days, on the terrace with unrivalled panoramic views over the town. Begin your tour with a stroll down Via Mazzini for Italian haute couture and the most exclusive clothing, one of the centre’s main streets. An entirely traffic free zone, it is where most of Verona’s tourists are concentrated in addition to its haute couture boutiques.

The first historic boutique you come across is Al Duca d’Aosta, a sophisticated, minutely designed space containing everything you need clothing-wise in a chic, classic style. Continuing with our upmarket and haute couture shopping theme, the second not-to-be-missed stage is: Alexandra Boutique, for sophisticated, eccentric, bold women who love luxury in all its forms. The result is high volume garments, bolero jackets, overcoats, bags and shoes - all elegant, extravagant and one-of-a-kind. Along the same street, Dev. Tod’s, for those looking for a colourful clutch bag, an everyday maxi-bag and accessories. Fay, if you’re looking for an overcoat, a trench coat, a duster, a shrug or a jacket. Hogan for lovers of sports sneakers with a stylish touch.

Last but not least on Via Mazzini are Pavin Elements and Pavin Luxury. The first is ideal for those preferring casual chic. There’s all the clothing and accessories you might need here to put together a practical and comfortable look without sacrificing class and elegance. From Prada sneakers to Moncler shiny jackets, from Fred Perry polo shirts to Stone Island sweatshirts.

The second, on the other hand, is the right place for elite shoes and bags. Sandals, Sergio Rossi peep toe sandals and Ugg skin boots. British Burberry bags to cosmopolitan Marc Jacobs. That extra touch of style is there everywhere.

Piazza delle Erbe, at the end of Via Mazzini, has the last must in this Verona shopping tour: Lazzari. Lazzari is a classic shop with a unique style and atmosphere, a Parisian chic style with a slight touch of vintage, selling its own clothes and accessories. It is right here at the end of this luxury shopping journey that you get a glimpse into how a haute couture fashion brand is born, how an individual garment is formed task by task with a Parisian chic style and a touch of vintage. It has a number of shops across the Veneto region and is much loved by alternative but classy girls.

Hotel Due Torri’s staff is on hand to provide you with all the information you may want and organise your made-to-measure shopping experience with personal shopper opportunities and the chance to visit the artisan workshops making the world’s most famous haute couture brands for an insight into their culture and philosophy.
