Volte Face
What can I say other than I almost spaffed my vintage Farah pants! You see every one of my regular trips to Rome - my wife is Italian, fact fans - is punctuated by palpitations of excitement as we approach Fabriano's Fiumicino boutique. So imagine the joy when I clocked this supreme Italian stationery being stocked in what is simply a truly amazing new store. Designed by Kit Grover and brimming with killer goods, you'll find all manner of select items such as a wide range of Moleskin goods, including their slick bags, books and the Star Wars range, there are paper Lady Gaga/David Bowie dolls, an assortment of books and much, much more. There's late night shopping in the area on Thursday, although this gaff is definitely for life and not just Christmas. / Eamon Downes
