You can find some great gems in the small towns around Ontario!! Portolano in Prescott Ontario is just one of them!!
I've seen signs advertising Portolano Gloves around town, but only discovered them by happy accident one day, while taking a walk (we turned left instead of right). So we went in! What glorious gloves they have on display - sheepskin, cashmere, leather, knitted, and combinations thereof.
The lady who greeted us was very friendly and knowledgeable, showing us around first the information section, describing the history of this company, then the store. They have been located in this old building since 1986, but the company has been in business about 100 years, still being operated by a 4th generation Portolano.
They offer a fabulous discount at this store, so we picked up gloves - one pair for me was soft as butter!! It's making me look forward to the colder weather!! read more
