Fun, funky, colorful boutique in Florence -- my favorite by far. Don't follow the map, it's located…read moreon the corner of Via Porta Rossa & Via dell'Arte della Luna -- just after Puma and right next to SCOUT. The employees are nice & helpful, but don't bombard you when you walk in like most small boutiques. Small selection, very few bags & shoes, but the clothes are the cutest & most reasonably priced I've seen in Florence. Think European Free People.

The cutest shop in the hip Oltrarno neighborhood of Florence, away from the touristy areas! It's…read morerun by two women who sew all the clothes in the shop. It's bright and well-appointed inside. Their patterns and fabrics change with the seasons. They just had their one year anniversary and I hope they are around for many more! I bought a beautiful a wrap dress in a mustard yellow and blue floral print, reminiscent of the 70's that would rival any DVF pattern for 79€. An asymmetric thin cotton white/pink/mint floral top with ruffle sleeves for 33€ on their sale rack, a white lace long pouf sleeve crew neck for about 59€ and a black crewneck lightweight sweater with the complete back panel being constructed of a perforated scale pattern faux leather material for 46€. Great quality, unique one-of-a-kind designs for a steal! I told my BFF who was traveling there separately and she got some lovely pieces as well. Livia & Viviana are the store owners and lovely friendly small business owners. Will definitely be back to shop more!

Definitely a little more on the expensive side, but worth it for beautiful hand made clothes right where you can see them. I see this as the future for boutiques in Europe, maybe specifically in Florence.

This little shop caught my eye and it reminded me a bit of some of the cute boutiques that I would…read morefrequent in North America. They had some nice Italian made items but the suede bag was around 275 euros (around $310 us dollars, tax included) and the clothes were unfortunately made for Italian women meaning not as "Americanly" sized. While there were still things I could wear, nothing really caught my fancy (that fit!) until I tried the Italian leather heel platform clogs. The clogs were unique and beautiful, and since I learned that's all I could wear for heels on these cobbly, uneven streets I just had to buy a pair. The earrings had an artisanal quality that were slightly unique so I had to buy a pair of those, too. The entire purchase was around 100 euros or $110 US dollars which seemed a bit pricey considering these type of shoes would be on a better sale in the US this time of year. But would I find the same Italian quality at home? I think not. Unfortunately for me, as soon as I left the shop I realized how much the clogs hurt the balls of my feet. I wanted to return them but since it wasn't exactly Nordstrom I decided to suck it up and wear them. The sales lady was really kind, and I knew they had a shop in Milan, the one major Italian city I purposely avoided since time is of the essence. In the end, the shop didn't have too much to offer for me, but I was happy that I found such a cute boutique right by my hotel, and I hope that I can enjoy my purchases for years to come!
