Loretta Caponi

Florence’s most stylish homes are outfitted with the embroidered linens of Caponi, whose boutique is housed in a series of rooms in the historic Palazzo Aldobrandini. The large space, complete with dramatic archways, antique mirrors and pastel-colored ceiling frescoes is worth a visit alone. But the sumptuousness of the setting is also echoed in the exquisite selection of table linens, laces and curtains, as well as children’s clothing and nightgowns, all delicately embroidered by hand in Caponi’s adjacent atelier. Don’t miss the adorable collection of dresses and skirts for kids, which come in a multitude of hues and have a lot of Italian flair.
