Things to do in Rome, Lazio: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

July 24, 2021 Renato Branum

Rome wasn't built in a day--and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

T Nobile

IN"Via dei Pettinari"a street that connects Trastevere with Campo de fiori right by the magnificient Ponte Sisto you can find a leather goods and crafts shop where all the articles are handmade exclusively in Italy.Even the leather it self comes from italians.As soon as you come in you will feel a unique sensation like you walk into an old shop in the 50’s.Do not forget that it's our own product

I was on a mission one day in Italy to find a proper genuine leather bag in Italy. I looked in and out of all the stores everywhere, but not a single place really had what I wanted nor was it the best quality. I searched for top leather goods stores and came upon a list of the top ten. Luckily, most weren’t too far apart. Every store had great reviews and you could see the difference in quality from the other stores I visited. I visited four or five of these stores, but I wasn’t quite convinced. I sat to eat and pick one. However, I remembered that T Nobile was #2 in that list but I had not visited since it was a bit off path my tour de shops. I took the good ol’ “I’m here so why not go?” Approach, and I’m so glad I did. To cut the story short: this shop should be #1 on any leather goods list by a mile! (Yes, I did go to the supposed #1) The gentlemen and ladies in the store were very friendly and helpful. The quality of the bags and such was great, as they explained that they have their own factory in Florence using bull and calf leather, meaning the best quality leather. I was sold because I finally found a bag that I really wanted for an unbeatable price compared to the way up-marked ones from before. And a small detail: I couldn’t pick between two colors so I was told to go walk think it over and come back the next day. Compare to being told in other places that they would give you a ‘discount’ to seal the deal. Maybe it makes no difference to others, but to me that’s the sign of honest shops. I now have an amazing Italian leather travel bag and i bought gifts for my family as well! This is THE store to go for leather goods. Thank you!

Sophia Leather Factory

Reviewed By GiselaB952

I happened to walk past Sophia's on my way from Trastevere to Campo dei Fiori and was drawn in by the beautiful leather goods. I've been searching for a Christmas present for my daughter and sure enough, Sophia had exactly what I was looking for, a gorgeous black leather jacket made of buttery soft veal leather and a really cute design. Best thing of all, it was on sale down from 360 Euro to 195! The service was excellent, the nice guy helping me spoke fluent English and was not in the least bit pushy. Great experience.
