THE ELEGANCE OF A WINTER GARDEN
FROM SCAPA ROMA, HISTORIC ROMAN BOUTIOUE IN VIA VITTORIA, WINTER HAS A “VERY BRITISH” DNA.
Tailored cuts. textures and colors that almost seem to feel the reassuring elegance of autumn on you. Crossing the threshold of Scapa Roma, the historic Capitoline boutique at number 58/59 in via Vittoria, a few steps from the central Piazza di Spagna, elegance “winks” at the trends of the season without giving up the “very British” DNA. Maria Grazia Virzì, soul of Scapa Roma, welcomes an attentive and demanding clientele who look for iconic outerwear: country chic frock coats and 100% virgin wool jackets with a timeless fit, that will become even more beautiful, if possible, with the passage of time, like a precious inheritage to be handed down from mother to daughter. Then there is the velvet lit by the liveliness of a touch of fuchsia that warms up the new cold season. A flash of color that invigorates a typical English countryside palette, where moss green flirts with the classic Prince of Wales, and where the most authentic tweed is paired with floral silks that look like they came out of a winter garden.
