10 Gift & Specialty Shops in Duomo That You Shouldn't Miss

December 26, 2021 Rosalyn Ihle

Florence is an art historian’s dream. The Galleria dell'Accademia bursts with works by Michelangelo, who is entombed within the frescoed walls of the Basilica di Santa Croce. Budding photographers can snap pics of the Ponte Vecchio bridge, and serious shoppers can spend a blissful afternoon wandering the shops of Piazza Santo Spirito. Tuscan cuisine pays homage to the region’s bounty. Swipe a hunk of crusty bread across a pool of local olive oil and you’ll be instantly transported to your happiest place.

After finding the same manufactured ceramic pieces in every store in Italy years ago, I was thrilled to find the little, unique workshop of M. G. Design, close to the Duomo, Uffizi, and Santa Croce, with one-of-a-kind ceramic artwork! I made a point to go there again when I was able to visit Florence a second time a few years later, and recently purchased these gorgeous Tuscan landscape items online! I highly recommend her work. So beautiful and unique!

Noi Leather Firenze

Reviewed By Ritwik25 - Gurugram (Gurgaon), India

One of the best shopping experiences in Italy so far on our first week here my wife, 8 year old daughter and me had this store figured on the list before reaching Florence and were very happy to see the overall store and the owners taking so much personal Interest to get you the most suitable product. No pressure to buy and also the right kind of advise. They made my daughter feel special and guess what she was super happy after the experience - am Sure she will grow up remembering this shop and going back ????! The prices are not very low but you pay for quality and there is a section of discounts for both men and women but you need to be lucky to find your item in that section. Bags and leather jackets are available in abundant choice and quite clearly very very authentic. Thanks NOI for a great experience though we were really short on time.

My mother and I were strolling the streets of Firenze, and stumbled upon this humble store front on our first day. Absolutely fell in love with the craftsmanship and the family behind the store and brought home their iconic Florentine ring and several other pieces. We went to Ponte Vecchio (bridge of gold) after shopping at Jean Saade and was astonished that they were trying to sell us poor quality gold. We loved the Jean Saade store so much, we came into the store on our second day and bought even more Florentine pieces and also met Jean himself. Love the store, the memories and the family themselves. Don’t buy anything from Ponte Vecchio and only from Jean Saade!!! You will not be disappointed. Thank you Jean and team for making our Florence experience amazing.

Don’t be fooled, this shop might be small but it’s mighty! It has so many amazing options you may never consider or even notice! With so many shops advertising handmade leather products, it’s hard to know which is the best but this store won’t steer you wrong! While I was there, several people came in who’d been before so clearly this place has a good reputation and many loyal customers. Nino, Gaia, Petra and the team are honest and sincere in making sure you find the best shoes to fit the outfit, lifestyle, weather or occasion! They are more than happy to welcome you to a memorable shopping experience and always ask questions to help you find what might really meet your ultimate needs! Tell them what you’re looking for, what you do or where you live and they’ll likely suggest alternatives that you never would’ve considered or thought would be a good fit but you’ll soon end up with more pairs than you were looking for! I was looking for a very particular boot but given the season, the selection was limited however there were way more options than I would’ve thought that after trying on, I would definitely buy but it wasn't the shoe I was really hoping for. However, the service was above and beyond, so warm, inviting and patient that I could not leave this place without a pair of shoes! I ended up with shoes that may not have been anything I was looking for but they are so soft and comfortable, I’m so glad I purchased them! They know their products inside and out but more importantly, Nino and his team are honest and will only sell you shoes that will truly meet your needs! They also have the ability to customize shoes so don’t be shy in asking for alternatives or variations. Definitely a store not to be missed! Like anyone who’s shopped here, the comfort, style and quality of the shoes along with impeccable service will make you a repeat customer for years to come! Guaranteed, you won’t be disappointed!

Eredi Chiarini

The history of Chiarini family about the elegant men’s clothing begins a long time ago. GENNI grandmother opened a fabric store in 1894 which was later run by her daughter Norma and her husband, the son-in Othello. Their sons, Marco and Andrea, grew up immersed in high quality fabrics and tailors. Just finished their studies Marco and Andrea began to work with enthusiasm in the family shop. In 1970 the opening of their first clothing store received a success beyond expectations. The passion for menswear handed down from grandmother GENNI allowed Marco and Andrea to define their own recognizable style and that is how the brand was born Eredi Chiarini. They began to manufacture jackets, pants, shirts and dresses in line with their designs to match with Italian and British accessories such as ties, bags, umbrellas, hats and shoes. Marco and Andrea have always traveled to enrich their style and search for the cutting and bundling more congenial to their style. Men's fashion in Florence

The clothing is of impeccable quality and style. this establishment was started by a Woman in the 1890's. The great-granddaughter is now at the helm with her brother Marco. The clothing though not inexpensive will give you longevity because of its high quality. If you are looking for authentic Italian Made clothing, leather goods, and shoes...do not miss going here
