Things to do in Florence, Tuscany: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops
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.

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!
2. CASINI FIRENZE by Jennifer Tattanelli
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 126 reviews
CASINI FIRENZE was Giorgio Tattanelli’s first store. He started his career as a leather artisan. The family leather production began just after the war in 1945 as a small artisan business hand making bags, wallets and attache cases using only a small group of local expert Florentine craftsmen.Giorgio with his intuitive entrepreneurial side started visiting all the trade fairs around Europe as well as successfully launching his family leather creations in military bases.

We visited Casini Firenze by Jennifer Tattanelli on February 15th during our recent visit to Florence. I was not shopping for anything in particular, just browsing. One of the JT's stylists, Sabine, spent about an hour with me suggesting pieces that she thought would flatter my figure. I ended up walking out with 2 dresses, pants, blouse, and two jackets. I will cherish each of these beautiful pieces and am sad that Sabine lives so far away and I can't visit with her and have her style me more frequently. THANK YOU SABINE!! Best, Michelle

Le Telerie Toscane is an amazing little shop across the street from the Pitti Palace in Florence Italy. It is located on a alley way inaccessible to autos but an easy walk from a street drop off. Once inside one will be amazed and delighted at the range of linens for kitchen, table coverings etc. These are all made in Italy and of very high quality. I was looking for kitchen towels....my favorite things to buy in Europe are the 'country made' linens of where I am. Giulia is a delightful lady who had owned this shop for 18 years. Most of these linens are truly works of art. I bought 4 dish towels.....huge by American standards @ E12.50/each. They are gorgeous and machine washable and very fairly priced for what you are buying. The website is wonderful but doesn't do enough justice to the pieces inside shop. Thank you Giulia for having beautiful, fairly priced linens and a useful gift/souvenir from Firenze.

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.

I haven't visited Florence in years as I tend to stay in the countryside. On my last trip through wine country I stopped by San Gimignano and bought a GORGEOUS handbag from Le Torri shop. What a wonderful experience. the shop owner was delightful and patient as it took me quite a while to pick out the perfect bag. I'm in love with this product. The quality is amazing and will last you the rest of your life!!!!
