BassamFellows, for Lovers of Fine Design

American designers Craig Bassam and Scott Fellows chose Milan to open their first shop, the BassamFellows Lifestyle Gallery. Why Milan? Well, this says much about the city and its dedication to design, as of the prestige of the work of these two renowned professionals. This sophisticated space in the Brera District, where the most exclusive boutiques and design studios are also located, showcases the brand’s distinguished furniture line and unique lifestyle objects. A proof that the city and this power-enterprising duo do indeed belong together.

PENNISI, for Jewlerry Aficcionados

Antique jewelry, Art Decó and small luxury objects can be found in Gioielleria Pennisi, a cult luxury location for a very exclusive clientele. Founded in 1971 by the diamond dealer and collector Giovanni Pennisi, nephew of jewelers and goldsmiths, the business stays in the family. Managed by Giovanni’s son, with the help of his wife and sister, the shop is a gathering place for antique and jewelry connoisseurs from all over the world.

LABSOLUE, Scented Souvenirs

For niche perfume appreciators who search a little beyond the obvious, we recommend a trip to LabSolue, a Perfume laboratory inside a post-industrial building, at the Magna Pars Suites, a perfume-themed hotel.

LabSolue derives from Marvin, pharmacy and cosmetology specialists, and the beautiful shop, in the old factory permisses, is a scented haven of freshness and poise. And because the olfactive memory is very powerful, there’s no how to go wrong with a scented gift.

PECK, Souvenirs You Can Eat

Edibles are always a very tasteful and practical solution to bring home some of the joys of la Bella Itália. Before living the city, gourmand travelers will want to stash into their suitcases Italian cheese, olive oil, and quality dried pasta. Peck, also a wine bar and restaurant in Via Spadari, is where you will find the most extraordinary Milanese delicacies.

In case you are wondering where design fits in this category, besides the classic retro vibe of the store, let us express in just one word a sentiment all geek designers will understand: packaging.

If you’re visiting Milan and attending ISaloni from 16th to 21st April 2024, in the Rho Fiera Milano, don’t miss the chance to visit these fabulous shops. It’s a shame you can’t bring Milan back home, but you can try to capture some of its essence in the shape of a precious souvenir. Fashion garments, furniture design, exclusive porcelain objects, stunning unique pieces of jewelry, niche perfumes, and, of course, some edibles, all made in Italy, are among our top picks
