Livio De Simone
( 081 764 38 27; Via Domenico Morelli 15; C24 to Piazza dei Martiri)
The late Li-
vio De Simone put Capri on the catwalk, dressing the likes of Audrey Hepburn and Jackie
O in his bold, colourful creations. Inspired by the island, summer and the sea, his daugh-
ter, Benedetta, keeps the vision alive with the label's distinctive hand- and block-printed
robe chemesiers
(shirt dresses), frocks, suits, coats, and matching bags and shoes.
Tramontano

;
Via Chiaia 143-144; C24 to Piazza dei
Martiri)
With fans including Woody Allen, Tramontano has an epic rep for exquisitely
crafted Neapolitan leather goods, from butter-soft wallets to glam handbags and preppy-
cool satchels. Famously each Christmas, a new model bag is released, inspired by a clas-
sic song…such as Patti Smith's 'Kimberley'.
