What Emilia Burano is known for
Family lace and linen house in a 1700s building on Piazza Galuppi, Burano, where four generations have worked Burano lace. A family museum upstairs keeps 18th century wedding garments and antique lace. Beyond lace it makes bespoke home linen for residences and hotels, and it also furnishes yachts and private jets. Three boutiques: the Burano flagship and workshop, one inside the Belmond Hotel Cipriani in Venice and one in Los Angeles.
Emilia Burano is a family lace and linen house on Piazza Galuppi on the island of Burano, in the Venice lagoon. The boutique and workshop occupy a traditional Burano building from the 1700s, which the house calls the Factory of Emilia. For four generations the family has worked with Burano lace, and the master crafters inside the store pass their lace making methods from mother to daughter. One flight up, a family museum holds 18th century wedding garments and antique pieces of lace that trace the family history. The house remains a family owned business and no longer confines its work to lace alone. It also produces bespoke home linen for private residences and hotels, and it also furnishes the interiors of yachts and private jets. Its stated philosophy rests on quality and handmade work under the banner of Made in Italy. Emilia Burano lists three boutiques, with the flagship store and workshop on Burano, a second inside the Belmond Hotel Cipriani in Venice and a third in Los Angeles. The wider range covers bed and table linen together with bath robes and towels, then cashmere throws and silk lingerie, and handkerchiefs for gifts. Worldwide shipping is offered from the Burano workshop through the online store.
