Kokoro shop is one of my favorite shops in the city. They sell handmade clothes designed by a very talented fashion designer. They have a lot of stylish clothes (dresses, shirts, skirts...) and some accessories, all made with very nice materials. Since they made it by hand, sometimes they only have items in one size...so you have to be lucky!
The historic location is in Monti, in via del Boschetto. It's a very nice and cozy shop, with very kind and helpful shop assistants... if you are in doubt don't hesitate to ask them, they will know the better way to wear what you have chosen.
Kokoro is the perfect place to buy uncommon clothes. You will find the real Italian fashion at good prices. Sometimes they have special offers and I used to check them on their Facebook fan page.
Just one piece of advice for the guys: it's only for girls!
