Via de’ Ginori 52r

Favorite leather shop in Florence. Owned by husband/​wife team who make their own designs and carry other brands made of leather and recycled materials like rice bags from Vietnam, tires and other materials from Colombia, etc. The quality of the leather is just rich, thick and gorgeous, the kind you will love and wear for 10 years and then love even more — — and customer service? The BEST. I had purchased a black suede by a designer they carry last year and worn almost every day to work. When I returned to Florence this season, I showed Maria where something was awry. Without hesitation, she took the bag, personally fixed the problem and returned to me during the Holidays !
Since then we’ve made additional purchases including a super-​soft, simple masculine messenger bag for my husband (who would NEVER give up his old tatty bag until we found this!). For myself, I’ve recently added an elegant, rich maroon leather backpack with ochre stitching to my collection of guilty pleasures from this shop. Aside from being beautiful, it is saving my back from toting my 15″ Mac in a purse. People stop me frequently to ask where I got it, so, here you go!
The website is under construction and doesn’t seem to be indicative of their quality, but here it is in case it ever gets up.
