Dedicated shoppers will lose themselves in Capri's little shops. Many of the island's visitors return just to buy more of the locally made goods, especially the sandals and the jewelry. One of the most famous shopping stops is Carthusia, a perfume maker that counts many stars among its customers. Its laboratory (Viale Parco Augusto; tel. 081-8370368; daily 9:30am-6pm) has been concocting unique perfumes from local herbs and flowers since 1948. There are two outlets on the island, one in Capri (Via Camerelle 10; tel. 081-8370368), and one in Anacapri (Via Capodimonte 26; tel. 081-8373668). Both are closed from November to March.
Stylish sandals (handmade, of course) can be found at Canfora (Via Camerelle 3; tel. 081-8370487) in Capri, and at L'Arte del Sandalo Caprese (Via Orlando 75; tel. 081-8373583) in Anacapri. Finally, the island has an old jewelry-making tradition. You can admire -- and purchase -- fine examples at La Perla Gioielli (Piazza Umberto I 21; tel. 081-8370641).
