"Emilia Burano, a gloriously old-school linen and lace shop, is a real institution in Burano, Venice's heart of lace-making. There are three floors. Downstairs, you're likely to rub elbows with Venetian grande dames and fancy tourists looking to restock their linen closets. (A set of embroidered napkins or a luxurious set of Egyptian cotton sheets both make for mighty fine souvenirs.) Upstairs, you'll find a mini museum, with antique pieces from the brand's archives." - Andrea Whittle
