I sold Cavalli e Nastri some vintage clothing as part of an estate disposition. The buyer came in…read morethe morning and identified the items. In the afternoon he returned with a helper, introduced as Francesco. It turns out it was the owner, Francesco Baracchi. As my wife talked with the buyer, signor Baracchi sat down and, uninvited, went to flip through a stack of paintings. Before I could stop him, he knocked a brass sculpture into an oil painting, causing an estimated 1,000 euros damage. There was no apology given, nor offer of compensation for the damage. Subsequent attempts to receive at least partial compensation were fruitless.

This place looks cool, but once you go in, and see the prices, you're not gonna think it's so cool…read moreanymore.... The sales people are helpful, but the prices are not so helpful. The cheapest thing I could find during these Italian July sales was literally €30 and bad quality. The higher-quality things are really expensive, like ridiculously expensive. I understand that it is vintage and some of the things are designer, but it really should be a little Less. Very hip Decour but the organization of the story itself is bad. They organized by color, not by style or size. Quite inconvenient. If I had more money, I would suppose I would like this better, as the higher-quality things cost more money. You might as will just go to a vintage kilo store and find things that look similar for less money

You can't visit Milan and not buy an authentic leather bag made in Milan. I looked up a few stores…read morethat made bags and came across Figus. The store is bright and colorful. The person that assisted me in the store was extremely helpful and convinced me to get a bag and a belt. She even sized the belt for me right there in the store. Now I have a belt that fits my high waisted jeans and it matches the bag that I bought. Oh! And there is cute jewelry sold at Figus so I had to buy a few pieces

A brightly lit, colorful, nicely arranged shop filled with wonderful handbags and jewelry. They specialize in handmade leather and vegan leather handbags, wallets, backpacks, belts as well as handmade jewelry too from silver and bronze alloy. Everything is just lovely and it's easy to tell that it is all very well crafted and detailed, they take pride in their work. Speaking with shop owner I asked him if he made the bags and he said yes and showed me the workshop. Not only does he make all the hand bags, but the workshop is right behind the shop, so cute. I don't see that at home in NYC. He was very friendly, very helpful and a pleasure to meet. I only wish I bought more.

You will find quality high fashion here at vintage prices -- I think you pay a little more than other vintage shops but you are not wading through a lot of bad stuff. I highly recommend it because of how it's curated and how well the staff treated me.

The Rolls Royce of Menswear and fashion with equally superb customer service…read more High end mens fashion noted for their handmade shoes but equally adept with suits, clothing, and accessories--such as wallets, leather briefcases, and so much more. Not only is their workmanship top notch, but their vibrant choice of colors makes wearing any article of clothing or shoes from this shop the equivalent of wearing a piece of artwork. Though I purchased my beautiful pair of San Lorenzo loafers in the USA, I stopped by this store, after having spent a tortorous week navigating the cobblestone streets of Rome, to see if they could touch up my shoes....after dropping my shoes off in the morning I returned to pick them up that afternoon and Berluti did such a good job treating my loafers they looked as though they were brand new. I insisted on paying and/or giving a tip for services rendered, but GianLuca absolutely refused to accept any money. Talk about customer service and making me a loyal customer going forward. When I do return to Italy and am in the market for a new pair of high end and eye catching shoes, it is good to know that shoes can be bought in Italy at a 20-25% discount to US prices and that is before the 12% VAT discount at the airport applies. If you are in the market for shoes, clothing, wallet, briefcase that will set you apart from everybody else, Berluti is your store to come to. Bellisimo.

The Louis Vuitton flagship store in Milan is on a whole different level. I thought the Galleria…read morelocation was impressive, but this one genuinely stopped me in my tracks. The space is massive and laid out around a dramatic open atrium, so as you move through the three floors you can look down and take it all in from above. It feels more like a luxury gallery than a retail store, in the best way. What really surprised me was the café inside, which somehow makes the whole experience feel even more elevated and relaxed at the same time. You can browse, wander, pause, and just soak it in instead of feeling rushed. The service is polished and attentive without being intimidating, and the architecture alone is worth the visit. Even if you're not buying anything, this flagship is absolutely a must-see in Milan.
