English term or phrase: paper goods
Some of Venice’s real shopping jewels are tucked away in quiet corners, and these are the places to hunt out for special buys such as jewellery, antiques, beads, **paper goods**, textiles and accessories.

Spontanément, je pense papeterie, mais en général on dit stationery non ?

papeterie
Explanation:
'papeterie' is wider than just 'stationery', and I think covers very well the kind of wonderful 'paper goods' to be found in Venice.

neutral  Tony M: Not really quite the same thing; makes me think of 'Clinton Cards', etc. (I shudder at the thought that such shops might exist in Venice!)
