This is the second time I have used Flakes Worldwide shipping facility. So so easy and straightforward. Once again I had seen a couple of beautiful, handmade and totally unique pieces on Flakes Instagram account. It was as easy as a DM to ask Chiara to put them aside for me and let me know the shipping costs. Chiara is very responsive and paying by PayPal is so simple it was super! I had to wait for an item to come in stock but Chiara told me up front and gave me an indication of timescales so I knew when the shipping would take place.
My lovely pieces arrived a couple of days later so well wrapped so they would be safe from their journey from Rome.
As I canāt travel to Rome at the moment itās fantastic to be able to have a bit of Rome here whilst also supporting a wonderful independent shop who in turn supports independent artists.
Once again it was an absolutely flawless service from the start! And it was not a problem at all having them shipped to me.
Will definitely shop again!!
Thank you...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis place is a 100/10 in my book, and you should simply visit it. You'll fall in love. I did.
The owner is one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met, so that alone gives the place a great boost.
The shop radiates sunshine, passion and love for home items. Each item is artisan-made, and the store owner can tell you the names of the artisans and their story! For me, this is the best kind of storytelling, to add to the beauty of the item.
The items are all exquisite and each a work of art. From some furniture, to places, cutlery, you'll find things here that just shout "MADE IN ITALY", in the most beautiful way.
I bought two gorgeous gifts for my best friend and I'll be back the next few days for more gifts......
Ā Ā Ā Read moreFlakes in Trastevere is a precious And unique space I hold so personally dear since the moment I walked through the doors. The loveliness of the establishment is only paralleled by the loveliness of its owner, Chiara. The items are so beautiful, created with such care and intention. My father and i have been unable to resist the charm of the store and have bought so many beautiful things for here in New York. Each time we are lucky enough to go to Rome, we visit Flakes, not only for some new hand painted cups or plates but to feel the presence of the shop and to see our sister Chiaraā¤ļø During this time of uncertainty, I am sending all love and fortune to you all in Italy with small businesses...
