Is there anything better than shopping along the coast of the serene Mediterranean sea? We think not! The adorned Amalfi coast is more than a holiday destination, it’s an Italian fashion gem.
Within the rugged shoreline, picturesque fishing villages and dreamy beaches, lies a host of unique boutique finds that you won’t want to miss this holiday season. At AiSPi, we’ve included some of our favourite shopping-stops on the Amalfi Coast which celebrate both Italian and international talent alike.
PS. You’re going to want to make some extra luggage space for these!
