Lace
It's cheaper to buy lace on Burano than in the centre of Venice, but be warned that the cheapest stuff is machine-made and not from Burano either. The hand-made work sold at the island's Scuola dei Merletti is expensive, though not to a degree that's disproportionate to the hours and labour that go into making it. If you want an inexpensive example of the work in Venice itself, the most impressive shop is Jesurum at Merceria San Salvador 4857, San Marco, and also at Piazza San Marco 60-61; if that's out of your price range, try the vast Kerer showroom, installed in the Palazzo Trevisan-Cappello over the bridge at the rear of the Basilica di San Marco, it sells a wide range of lace, both affordable and exclusive.
