My husband, who loves photography, and I went to Italy on our honeymoon. Atelier flavia gave us the best souvenir we could ask for - a Carnival themed photoshoot. The owner and her son were extremely accommodating and helpful. The owner was able to take a single look at me, know my size, and find a costune that would fit. We rented the costume for an hour, and the owner's son toured us around to nearby locations for photos. My husband took so many amazing photos of me. It was priceless. I also bought the gorgeous green velvet mask pictured below. It was reasonably priced and exquisitely made.

During our visit to Venice we made a point to visit this family business. We purchased several high quality goods including a very nice belt for and a matching set of green leather clutches for my wife. Shop has an old world charm and the owner and his son were very helpful. Unlike most of the leather shops in Venice these guys make everything on site.

Hello! I visited a year ago and have remembered my visit many many times since. I just hadn’t reviewed it on here til now. But the hosts, their beautiful shop, their talents, their patience, friendliness, humour, good English, good value all made my trip to Venice worthwhile. What a find this shop was! I was so happy to have met them. I painted a mask with their advice here and there and it went up on my wall when I got home. As did another one I bought from the shop. I miss you both and thank you for the rendition of songs including “Isle of Wight” by Dik Dik. (L’Isola di Wight). I had such a happy relaxed time with you both. Wendy x

We have just returned from a short break in Venice. We came across this wonderful shop, selling a terrific range of authentic pens, pictures of Venice and lovely hand made books. The owner Giuseppe could not have been more helpful and kind,( he even gave me a present on my birthday). It’s the perfect place to purchase imaginative gifts to take back from beautiful Venice.
