Positano is full of shops, but things truly made here by hand, made to measure, are rarer than they seem. I make glasses by hand in Positano, and this is my guide.
Custom sandals
The classic of classics: Positano sandals cut and sewn on your foot while you wait. Look for the workshops where you can see the workbench, it is the guarantee that the sandal is born right there.
Positano fashion
Linen, lace and the colors of the sea: the Moda Positano textile tradition has dressed generations.
Ceramics of the Amalfi Coast
Maiolica and bright glazes come from all over the Coast. A hand painted plate has small imperfections that make it recognizable: they are the signature of whoever painted it.
Handmade wooden glasses
Then there is my workshop, CREO Positano Glasses, at via Cristoforo Colombo 163/A: sunglasses and prescription glasses in wood, slate, ceramic and cork, built to measure in front of your eyes in 2-3 days. Hundreds of models, free engraving: it is the souvenir you use every day, not the one that stays in a drawer.
When you pass through Positano, come watch a pair of glasses being born: hours and contacts here.
