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.

Our articles, strictly made in Italy are supplied in our three shops in downtown Florence.We are in a position to give you a large collection of leather, silk and cachemere accessories, in particular gloves, bags, scarves and ties.
This store is a find. For the quality and workmanship you get, the prices are very reasonable. I bought 2 pair of leather gloves that were butter soft. Gorgeous. You won't be sorry if you buy anything from here. The goods in the leather markets are often not local and not real leather. Caveat Emptor!

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!

I purchased gloves here six years ago and was happy to be able to be in Florence to purchase some more. These are the best quality and selection. I love the colours and my favourite style is the cashmere lined ones.

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.

Infinity Firenze produces and sells high quality leather products, such as bags, belts and wallets. Bags and belts are manufactured in the workshop just behind the store by highly trained artisans. Visitors are welcome to visit the workshop and have a close look. Belts are made to fit your size and your choice of buckle. All items can be customized. The family-owned store has been in business since 1975 and is located in central Florence in an 11th century tower near the Ponte Vecchio. Infinity offers a wide selection of styles and colors and ships worldwide. Thanks to the short production chain, clients can purchase high-quality leather goods while avoiding the mark-up of industrial luxury manufacturers.
I wandered into this shop while exploring the many shops in the area. It was just wonderful! The leather goods were beautifully presented and clearly of high quality, there was soft, Baroque music (my favourite) playing and my husband and I were greeted warmly by the shop owner. She told us about the building and the handmade products, even inviting us to take a look at the work shop where someone was hard at work making a style of bag I had been admiring. After several more visits I ended up buying the very bag I had seen being made. My husband also purchased a belt which was fitted especially for him. Special souvenirs of this wonderful store and of our time in Florence.

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.

Goccia Shoes comes from an idea of Nino and his beautiful wife Michela. They are specialized in all real Italian production of fashion shoes and handbags for women and man, including custom handmade shoes, boots and bags. While Michela is the creative soul of the business and follows all the stages of production with passion and interest in the always evolving styles of fashion, Nino handles the customers with great care and precision, following up on orders which will be shipped overseas and helping in the customization of each item.
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!
