I heard about Giuliano Ricchi's workshop after admiring a friend's embossed business card holder. She told me about an artisan tour in Florence that she took, and I was inspired to go! I visited on a Thursday morning around 10:00. When I rang the buzzer, a man came and led me through the building to his workshop on the ground floor. He was very kind and showed me around the workshop in the basement, even turning a piece of scrap metal through the machines so I could see how the process worked in full. Then, I went shopping! The pieces are all so beautiful. He demonstrated what some of them were and left me to my devices. Additionally, once I selected pieces, he had magazine clippings to show the price difference between his workshop and the stores that commissioned them in the states. Big price difference! One warning: it's cash only, so bring a lot. There is an atm in the square if you need it.

Stopped by Ciro's shop which was close to our hotel, definitely worth a stop ! Great quality leather and hand-made products, shipped to my home in France because we had to leave Florence before the products were ready. Everything was perfect, definitely recommended !
10. Ink P Design
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 19 reviews
Ink-P is an applied art project. Giulia and Antonio — that’s us, we are Ink-P. We love to experiment with screen-printing on all kinds of different materials, striving to pair our passion for graphic design with its relationship to everyday life. We freely play with colors and form. Our designs start with a natural element that might combine with flowing, vibrant details and textures. We hand make pieces of art that are meant to be worn and truly lived in.
