Review: Emilia Burano

Let’s start with scale. Where are we between global flagship and neighborhood boutique?
Emilia Burano, a gloriously old-school linen and lace shop, is a Burano institution.

What can we find here, or what should we look for?
It's Burano, so you'll find lots of hand-sewn lace. But there are also chic bedsheets and playfully embroidered table linens.

If money’s no object, what goes in the cart?
A set of Egyptian cotton sheets.

And … what if we’re on a budget?
A couple of embroidered cocktail napkins.

Who else shops here?
Venetian grande dames and fancy tourists looking to restock their linen closets.

Any secret tips, or “don’t go home without” purchases?
There are three floors. Upstairs, you'll find a mini museum, with antique pieces from the brand's archives.
