If you are an ardent Capriphile and collector of books on the island - as I have been for a decade - and/or if you've spent weeks wandering Capri (again, as I have) - this will not blow you away. Plus, our packaging is plastic-free, so you can feel good about your eco-friendly choice every time your head hits the pillow. This 272-page tome, bound in Aperol-hued orange linen, provides history and context to Capri’s extravagant reputation, interspersed with 200 pages of glossy, high colour pictures.

As usual in books on Capri, there is way too much emphasis on people and celebrities and none on the lesser known natural beauty spots of the island -Faro, Miglieri, Villa Jovis, Damecuta, Bagnio Tiberio, Cetrella. We accept all major credit cards including American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and Klarna. Packed with photography of the island's clifftop villas, glamorous beaches and, of course, that famously azure coastline, it's an immersive experience that happens to look pretty good on your bookshelf, too.

It's filled with images of enchanting gardens, villas and must-see spots, including the Piazzetta, which is considered the center hub of the area. Our collection of modern heirlooms are designed as the ultimate investment pieces: timeless, long lasting and, hopefully, to one day be handed down for others to enjoy. Our business is entirely carbon neutral (meaning we minimise and offset any emissions) and our products are OEKO-TEX 100 certified, too (so, no nasty chemicals in your Threads).

Cherished by everyone from physician Axel Munthe, who recommended its clean air to his patients as a cure for bronchitis; to film director Jean-Luc Godard as the setting for his 1963 film Contempt; to literary icons, celebrities, poets, and the jet set, Capri boasts a rich Mediterranean spirit and style that encompasses a wealth of beauty, from gardens to villas to caves to the people walking in the lively Piazzetta, where cars are prohibited and the island’s playful attitude runs rampant.
