2 TAILOR-MADE A little, colourful store featuring unique bags: In her Chiusa/Klausen workshop, Ruth Gantioler produces hand-made, customised bags with a keen eye for details like studs, braids, leather straps, and chains. Starting at 165 EUR. www.r-lovely-bag.it
3 LOCAL SWEETS Vegan chocolate from South Tyrol, produced from scratch in Eisacktal Valley. Instead of simply using chocolate mass or couverture, this chocolate is made from scratch using fair-trade premium cocoa beans from different source regions that are roasted, ground and refined in South Tyrol to make delicious Karuna chocolate. Starting at 5.40 EUR. Available in select retail stores.
