Ida's Clothing & Accessories
Sicily
When you leave this pleasant place called Ida's Clothing & Accessories, happy about your buys, but also a little bit exhausted from all the trying on, you can refresh yourself at the Cafe Sikelia, which is only some steps away.
Ida's Clothing & Accessories is named after the mother of the shop owners, Signora Ida, the most kind and always elegant lady in the whole of Giardini-Naxos!
Ida's Clothing & Accessories is a boutique where you can (and will) spend some pleasant hours browsing chic trousers, skirts, shirts, and dresses, trying on hats, shoes and belts while having a nice chat with one of the two sisters, or both of them, who run this lovely shop.
Don't get scared when you see the famous names of national and international designer labels like Armani, Just Cavalli, Cavalli Class, Versace Jeans, Who's Who, Les Copains, Sinéquanone, Bikkembergs, Francesco Biasia and Compagnia del Viaggio. Having a coffee on Ida's nice terrace in front of the shop I've often heard people saying (mostly husbands to their wives....): hey, that's too expensive, come on, let's go away.
At Ida's Clothing & Accessories ladies will find everything from elegant dresses to posh shoes to wonderful handbags to fashion jewellery to summer wear, including swim suits, flip-flops and straw hats. Gentlemen can complete their outfit with trousers, shirts and elegant or sportive footwear, but there is also leisure and holiday wear for them on display at Ida's Clothing & Accessories, such as shorts, swimming trunks, trousers, leisure and beach shoes, socks and t-shirts.
Nancy and Maria Grazia, the superfriendly sisters who run this little shop, will pamper you and are happy to give professional advice (in several languages, they speak even a little bit of Russian). The only thing they never do is force you into buying something.
In case you need cigarettes, a travel bag (because you bought so many things) or a suitcase: Ida's has it also.
You could do us a favour and tell them that you found them by recommendation of My Guide Sicily :-)
