★★★★★ La dolce vita — a Vespa, bougainvillea, and a view of the lake
A mint green Vespa is parked on a sun-drenched Italian village street, on "Via del Sole", surrounded by bright pink bougainvillea, ocher-yellow houses, and a view of a shimmering mountain lake. Romantic, warm, and full of Italian charm — a scene that smells of espresso and summer heat.
Why this cross stitch kit?
The soft pastel shades of bougainvillea pink and mint green Vespa beautifully contrast with the warm terracotta and ocher tones of Italian architecture. With 22 thread colors, you'll get a wealth of detail — perfect for those with some experience, but thanks to the pre-printed canvas, also perfectly doable for enthusiastic beginners.
Who is this embroidery kit for?
A beloved gift for Italy lovers, scooter fans, and romantic souls — think of those who go to Tuscany or Lake Como every summer. Ideal as a birthday gift for a friend with a dolce-vita feeling, or as an anniversary gift for the couple who got engaged in Italy.
What's included in this cross stitch kit?
- Pre-printed 11CT embroidery canvas — symbols and color numbers are already on the canvas, so no counting needed
- 22 colors of premium eco-cotton thread (Huacan) — stronger and more colorfast than standard thread, less prone to breaking
- Two gilded cross-stitch needles in a handy protective case
- Step-by-step instructions in Dutch, also suitable for beginners
- Printed symbol chart for reference during embroidery
Which size is right for me?
Our smallest size (20×30 cm) is a nice weekend project for the kitchen wall or study. 40×50 cm (our most popular size) fits beautifully in a hallway or living room with a Mediterranean ambiance — next to vintage Italian posters or a terracotta-toned wall. Larger sizes (from 60×80 cm) become real eye-catchers above a dining table or sofa.
Please note: the physical kit is supplied in 30×40, 40×50, or 50×70 cm. Other sizes are received as a digital pattern (PDF download) — convenient if you already have canvas, thread, and needles at home.
Prefer just the pattern?
Then choose the digital PDF version (€14.95). You will receive the pattern by email within 24–48 hours — useful if you already have embroidery materials at home or want to create your own color scheme.
