Barena

Venice


This internationally recognised Venetian brand has been turning out timelessly classic clothes and coats since 1961. Named after the sandbanks that dot the lagoon, it specialises in comfortable leisurewear in a range of earthy tones made from the finest yarns produced in the Veneto. This is also the place to pick up a tabarro, the Venetian cloak worn by kings and brigands.
