Hobart is sparkling with festive cheer, and passionate city business owner Pina Angelone, co-owner of Fellini on Collins Street, is leading the charge to shop local this Christmas.
Her much-loved boutique has been a Hobart favourite since 2010, after relocating from historic Salamanca. Known for exceptional customer service, attention to detail, and high-quality Italian fashion, Pina and her husband Dino truly embrace the magic of the season.
“We are passionate about the service we provide, and you’ll see that in our local shops in the lead-up to Christmas, because there’s nothing more satisfying than helping someone choose the perfect gift.”
For Pina, Christmas in Hobart is about more than shopping, it’s about community, connection, and the joy of discovering something special.
“Christmas in Hobart is special because you’re in such a lovely, walkable space.”
And what a space it is! Just a short stroll down Collins Street, you’ll find boutique stores and popular national brands brimming with gift ideas. Pina’s top tip?
“My focus is always quality,” says Pina. “One of my favourites is Sheridan,” she adds, praising their luxury linens, exceptional service, and trusted reputation.
She also recommends Kinoko Deli—not just for its delicious Japanese cuisine:
“They sell beautifully crafted Japanese dishes, all handmade.”
And of course, no festive shopping trip is complete without a visit to Fullers Bookshop and Café:
“There’s a lovely feeling, and the people in there will always find the right gifts for everyone.”
This Christmas, follow in Pina’s Italian-soled footsteps and experience the ease, charm, and joy of shopping in Hobart city. Support local businesses, discover unique treasures, and make your festive season truly special.
