If the recent spate of frigid winter nights have you dreaming of more temperate regions, look no further than the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Italy. Lela Becker, co-founder of Los Angeles-based cult denim brand Mother, visited the sun-drenched islands earlier this year and found herself enamored with both the natural volcanic beauty of the terrain and the bohemian creatives there who reminded her of her Northern California roots and the proprietors of the unique vintage shops she frequented in the Sonoma and Napa Valleys. While staying at Hotel Raya on Panarea, Becker met boutique owner Myriam Beltrami and spent days wandering around the islands and through Beltrami’s curated shops. Here, Becker’s list of must-see boutiques, eateries, and beaches throughout the island chain.
