BRuno

BRuno was such a lovely find on my leisurely course of the Third Street Farmer’s Market. Among all of the charming boutiques that were properly positioned along the way — adorned with a beautiful brickfront and white columns — BRuno transported you into the strong sense of uniqueness that 3^rd Street encompasses. I truly cannot see this unique gift shop in any other place in Naples that stays true to the upscale character and the quaintness of such a place.
I would have given this five stars if my perusing converted into a sale, but we’ll just have to go back and update this review accordingly. While I meandered, the kid in me (actually I get it from my father) made me want to touch just about everything, even the stuff that had a specific sign where I have to ask an associate for assistance. There were just so many beautiful things I could have purchased or wrapped up in pretty paper for next year’s Christmas. The whole store was clad in unique pieces of jewelry and handbag accessories, fun items for the kitchen, every accoutrement to be the hostess of the year, techy gadgetry, and even a little section for pets.
It was utter complete hyper-​stimulation for me because there were such high quality items, but some or most affordable, and items nothing anyone else could find. They had shelves and stands with the most gorgeous leather purses, and pieces of china that could adorn any table with some serious class. You could even take home an artisan bicycle.
From my discreet observations of the customer/​owner-​staff exchange, the customer seemed to be proud of their purchase, and the owner and staff were proud of their product. Everyone was satisfied. Even as a Unilocaler, I felt like my observations as a window shopper warranted enough information to write a review.
If I were you, I’d purchase a porcelain bull dog painted in LV patterns, and incorporate my famous shopper initiative — One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me. Repeat, and adopt.
