This is the finest leather store in the world. I puchsed my briefcase online and was given excellent service by email from Antonella. We went through various iterations, until we ended up with the briefcase I ultimately purchased. The leather and construction are superior. I am very happy with the purchase! I have been to the store in person previously. Wonderful products, service and pricing for the quality. A magnificent store!

4. Bottega Giotti

Reviewed By Moongambo
We happened upon the shop on our final day in Florence and it became a highlight (among many) in a two-week trip divided between Positano and Florence. The quality of the products was exceeded only by the courtesy and personalities of father and son, and we treated ourselves to a jacket for me, a larger purse for my wife, and a hand-purse for my daughter. My habit is to take as souvenirs only things that are of special quality and will be a reminder of the occasion, and owners, every time I put on the deerskin jacket. We are nowhere near 'price is no object' level, but I have never been remotely regretful of getting the best, and everything about Bottega Giotti, including handling shipping to the States, was above first-rate.
