THE JAIPUR-CAPRI CONNECTION

THE LATEST PROJECT FROM JAIPURBASED INTERIOR DESIGNER MARIEANNE OUDEJANS IS A GEM OF A BOUTIQUE FOR AQUAZURRA

Something about the air in Capri (and the waters around it) has people coming back for more; something besides the incredible food and limoncello. A prominent repeat visitor, Aquazzura founder and creative director Edgardo Osorio puts it best when he says, “Every time I’m here, I feel like I’m living la dolce vita.” Osorio deems the Neapolitan island his eternal “happy place”, immortalized as the one true inspiration behind the name of his luxury shoe label. No wonder then, that the Florence-based designer was so eager to bring what he started almost a decade ago to where he started it. In his own words, “It has always been my dream to have a boutique in my favourite place in the world.”
