T -Nobile

Dragged into this shop by the Wife and we were both treated well by the owner and his Sicilian nephew Vincent who made us coffee as we perused their wares. The leather goods were well-​made and well-​priced, especially with the Dollar-​Euro exchange rate being so low. The owner was friendly without being pushy, and the Wife loves her bag. Not bad for a tiny shop near the Ponte Sisto. A true Gem.

T-​Nobile is a great little leather shop near Piazzo Venezia an il Forma Campo. Clean, well organized and reasonable. What more could a girl ask for?

Had so much trouble finding this little gem. WORTH THE FIND!!! I bought my entire family christmas presents here. They have every color imaginable… and even more in their back office.
Price is excellent, and you get a 10 percent discount if you pay in cash. I negotiated some extra discount because I was buying so much.
It is 9 months later, and my leather still looks awesome. I can not complain, it is so much better than the bags you will find in the states, and actually… I think they look better too. Definitely handmade. The shop looks tiny when you see it from the street, but its actually huge inside for a leather store. (It wraps around the back) so just go in and you will see.
There is an ATM about a 5 minute walk away (turn L out of the store, walk to the nearest main road, turn R and its 4 minute walk down on the right side past the little archway). If I were you… I would bring cash into the store and ONLY what you want to spend haha.

We stumbled across the T Nobile store on our last day in Rome and found exactly the bag I had been looking for. The prices for T Nobile’s high-​quality bags are the same as the street vendors are charging for their vinyl bags.
The selection is beyond excellent. They have a huge range of bags and every bag comes in pretty much every colour you could desire (all the neutrals and at least a couple or three colours).
The leather is very high quality; my bag is made of thick and buttery soft leather and was ONLY 44 Euros. Similar in style and quality as a Roots bag that costs $ 168.
The service is excellent – helpful but not pushy.
And believe me, if you’re anything like my sister, you will seriously regret it if you don’t buy one of the little lemon change purses. Every time my sister sees mine, she shakes her head at herself. My only regret is that I bought only one perfect cross body bag. Sigh. I wish I had also gotten something a little wilder. A reason to return to Rome!
(and the bridge nearby often has artists selling small, affordable originals.)

I recently pulled out my T-​Nobile cross-​body bag for a short trip to Tijuana and realized that I had never posted a review on Unilocal!If you like leather handbags, this store is probably the best place on Earth for you to go. It’s close to everything and was a comfortable walk from the Vatican. It looks small in the picture but the back of the store opens up and there is plenty of floor space.
I bought two bags (yup, declared both to US Customs!), but the cross-​body is especially good for sketchy locales as the strap and body are made of thicker leather, which thwarts slashers. The sales people are perfect — helpful but not pushy — and they all seem to know English. One of the workers was even a transplant from San Fran — small world. He gave my friend and I a free pashmina each. Bonus.
I give the store 4 stars because there were too many color examples of each bag and it made it difficult to shop. Perhaps they should put out one sample and then small color swatches? Regardless, I’m already trying to figure out how to fit a T-​Nobile stop into my next European vacation.
