Atelier Classe

My husband and I spent 3 days in Florence in March of 2014. We were looking to buy leather jackets while in Florence so we looked at a lot of stores for options. By the 3^rd day, we still hadn’t found what we were looking for so we asked the hotel concierge for quality leather store suggestions. That is how we ended up at Mirko Michele’s store. Wow! WHAT A SELECTION! His coats had designs we hadn’t seen before and fit better than any others we had tried on until that point. Even though we got to Mirko’s store around closing time, he kept the store open for an extra hour and half to give us enough time to look around — we were leaving Florence early the next day. He was extremely kind and patiently answered all the questions we had. I’m very petite and can hardly ever find anything that fits me right, but this was no challenge for Mirko’s store. If anything, we took that long because I could not decide which jacket to buy. In the end, I walked away with a gorgeous light grey piece that fits me perfectly. Mirko also has another store nearby that sells leather shoes and purses, though we didn’t spend much time there. Visiting «Atelier Classe» and getting to meet Mirko made our Florence experience extra special. I’ve been living in NYC for the past couple of years and still haven’t seen leather jackets that nice here. Florence leather shopping experience would not be complete without visiting the «Atelier Classe» store at: Via Torta, 16/​R, 50 122 Firenze.
