I found this place thanks to my Lonely Planet guide book which said that the leather goods here…read morewere not to be missed and that this is one of the few places in Venice that makes truly quality leather goods. (Everyone in Italy told me that if you are doing serious leather goods shopping, the place to go is Firenze.) I came in and had a look at the shoes and bags and my god, they really are amazing. The craftsmanship is there and at reasonable prices. I mean if you are going to have shoes made from scratch specifically for you from a professional cobbler, they usually start at $1000 (approx. 700 Euros). The boots I saw here were in the 300-400 Euro bracket. If I had not already bought my ankle boots earlier in my trip, I would have bought them here instead. Also, Mr. Balducci was quite pleasant to deal with when he answered my questions. Most Venetian merchants are pretty grouchy since their city has become a tourist Disneyland, and I don't blame them one bit.

Excellent quality | Friendly staff $$$…read more If you're looking to ditch your old beat up pair of sneakers because you've literally traveled everywhere with them, it's time you bought a nice pair at this place. We threw away two shoes and one pair of sandals on our trip to Italy. Why? For various reasons, but they were definitely not new. They were breaking apart because we've had them for years. BUT, this store, I think, is for someone who is looking to spend a little more for better quality. It's not for someone who is looking to grab a quick pair of sandals. The two women were very friendly, attentive, and helpful. They gave excellent suggestions and were knowledgeable about the brands they had and what we were looking for in shoes. According to the ladies, they carry a wide variety of European brands that are known for their quality and comfort, brands such as Pikolinos, Birkenstocks, Lilimill...

I first discovered this brand when we visited the Gallarie Lafayette in Paris a few years ago and…read morebeen a fan since. They only have a handful of shops in Europe and some in Asia. I suspect they have a few big retailers that carry it but have not seen it in Germany or Ireland. If you are after comfort and style you can't go wrong. Your wallet might be a whole lot lighter but hey good things don't come cheap. Besides when in Italy do what the Italians do eh....buy shoes and accessories ;-)) They have a full line of male and female shoes. For women if you like heels but not a fan of stiletto or thin pointy heels this is a great brand for shoe that are ultra comfortable with decent heels. My wife loves their stuff and also likes the fact that she can buy heels that are nice to walk in. For men there is a great selection of casual and dress shoes, belts, bags and so on. I do like their designs and seems a little bit more elegant and classy a look. As I discovered during our walks around Venice there is at least 3-4 shops from this brand spread out around town and it is much cheaper than buying top end stuff like Gucci and Prada and so on and actually of great quality.

Decided to pop in to see their latest sneakers and found a pair I had to have. The sales associate…read morewas very knowledgeable and made sure I had the correct size. The price included tax and since I live in the USA she mentioned the tax refund I would receive by turning in the paperwork she filled out for me. The next day I turned in the paperwork at the tax return window at Marco Polo airport and they added $200+ to my credit card I used for my purchase. I love my shoes and the great customer service!

Amazing selection of golden goose. Loved this store. As an American it's sometimes it's better to…read morebuy stuff overseas with the tax credit. In American most shoes are between 400-600us dollars. At the store it was around 200-400 Euros plus tax free. I ended up not buying a pair because I was worried about the size.

I spotted a classy pair of smokey blue shoes in the window and walked in. The service was patient and very helpful and I walked out with my new favourite pair of shoes for a really reasonable price - particularly since I had been in and out of several other shops over the prior 2 weeks. The clerk paid great attention in packaging the shoes as well and ensuring the right sizing.

This is a small store located by Plaza San Marco in Venice. We originally stumbled upon it when…read morewalking around doing some shopping. They have beautiful quality kids clothes. A little pricier than most of the stores for kids you see around there but the quality is amazing and the clothes are unique. My granddaughter was tired and I thought that maybe changing shoes would do the trick, we purchased a pair of nude color leather driving moccasins that feel like butter, she put them in instantly she loved them and said "I love the bumps on he bottom" we were able to go about our day without one single complaint. They have some amazing dresses and great jackets, the staff was very helpful and did not seem to mind her trying on different pairs until we found the perfect ones.

I was excited to stumble upon this H&M in one of the many open piazzas in Venice, following a…read morestroll through a narrow corridor or street. The store was bustling on the weekend but the lines weren't too long (perhaps 4-5 customers waiting). The clothing appeared similar in quality to that of H&M stores in the US, as were the price points -- which I assume was a huge attraction since the exchange rate is so high. I didn't get the chance to peruse for too long, but noted that the items were the same as in the States (see the website). Therefore, I didn't feel the need to buy anything. This location isn't too large, as the aisles were pretty narrow. Good place to pick up some pieces though particularly if you forgot to pack something.
