Tad Concept Store
With its mix of hip designer clothing, esoteric art books, hard-to-find fragrances- and even an on-site florist and salon-this trendsetting shop is our favorite in all of Rome. Come and be tempted by L'Autre Chose shoes and Carthusia perfume, then enjoy gourmet fare in the attached cafe.

Tad Outlett
This shop receives the sale merchandise from the Tad Concept Store-and since it's only a short walk away, do pencil in a visit. There's lots of home decor, like sequined pillows (about $50), but we headed straight to the back room, which is flush with deeply discounted clothing by big names like Balenciaga.
