LE 18:00 – Via San Vito

10 Corso Como is arguably the best store in the world. It’s like the best of Barneys NY, Saks Fifth avenue and Henri Bendel all in one beautiful space. Every piece of clothing, shoe, bag or jewelry will make you dream and dream big. Wanting and wishing and ohhing and awwing. It’s awesome in every sense of the world. Mostly everything has a ridiculous high price tag but there is no shame in just looking.

There are a few things in there however that you can take home or give as a gift without having to do the “is it worth it” debate in your head. But it is more of a store to splurge and browse. You will want to spend your one month paycheck here!
