If there’s one thing that is a must to acquire on a trip to Capri – it’s a pair of the handmade, custom-fit sandals that Jackie Kennedy made famous in the Sixties. Who can forget the inimitable shots of her strolling the Italian island’s cobblestone walkways, looking oh-so-chic? The tony streets of Capri boast several sandal-makers, but the most prestigious company is Amedeo Canfora boutique on the sun-splashed Via Camerelle. Today it is owned and operated by Costanzo Canfora, whose grandfather, Amedeo, in 1946, founded the company. Kennedy came around midnight -- she was a size nine – and she ordered several pairs of sandals, which we shipped to her,” says Costanzo Canfora today, inside the tiny shop.
