Just south of Rome
This is the Saturday morning Shoe Market in Cassino, South of Rome. There are 20 -30 stalls all selling shoes, it's amazing. I've been going here for years.
The shoes are of current fashions , last seasons stocks and really old stock.
Broderie Anglais to die for.
This is the Saturday morning Shoe Market in Cassino, South of Rome. There are 20 -30 stalls all selling shoes, it's amazing. I've been going here for years. 
The shoes are of current fashions , last seasons stocks and really old stock.They only have the sizes that are stacked in the boxes below the shoe.
The way it works here is that if it's not in fashion, nobody seems to want it, so it's really cheap or you can haggle them down on the price. The best quality stock was the previous seasons stock.
In the regular market on Via Giovanni Pascolli there's this great Haberdashery Stall selling loads of lace and braiding.
The lace comes in a huge assortment of bright colours.
The braiding on the top I bought last time I was there.
We'll be using it for the winter stuff in a Future Folk look
Broderie Anglais to die for.We'll be showing you what we did with our purchases and on an old Orla Keily dress in Tutorial 3.
They had thousands of buttons these are just a few.
They had thousands of buttons these are just a few.Many looked like really old stock which was exciting.
If you're in Rome it's about one and a half hours to Cassino taking the fast train to Naples. You can make a day of it and visit the Monastery at the top of Monte Cassino.
Remember it's on or in the area of Via Giovanni Pascolli every Saturday morning.

You should come to our bar for a coffee the next time you are out there! Our name is "Bar Short Black" but we are waiting on our signage to change from the previous name which is Bar Soave. My name is Lindsey and my husband is Marco.
