When it is very hot in Italy, it seems that many Italians wear linen. In late June/early July 2019, Italy was having a pretty major heat wave and we saw a ton of Italians wearing it.
We stumbled upon this store while we were simply walking around in Rome. They had some decent prices on linen clothing. This store had a skirt/top combo on a mannequin at the door that caught the attention of both my wife and me (see my photo of the mannequin wearing the white linen pants with the blue polka dot top). The top and pants combined were €35. That's about $42 (with current conversion rate). I can promise you a linen outfit like this in the US would easily cost $150 - $200 at Tommy Bahama or similar store. She ended up purchasing two complete outfits for less than €100. All of the outfits she purchased were made in Italy and not imported from China. This store wasn't even listed on Yelp. I had to add it so I could write this review and let others know about their great deals.
They also had a wide array of other other outfits, shoes, and accessories. They had several outfits she liked. We could've easily spent another €200 if it were in the budget.
The clerks in the store were very helpful. They were an older lady and man. I think they were a couple but I'm not sure. They may have been the owners. Her English was better than our Italian so together we were able to get what we needed. Keep in mind the sizes in this store are Euro but she was quickly able to look at my wife (a US Medium in most things) and immediately tell us her European size (which I can't remember as this moment).
Bottom line - Good deals on linen clothing. What we purchased was made in Italy and not imported. We were pleased with the prices. If you are visiting Rome and are interested in purchasing some linen clothing, you should check out this store. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more
