I chose a bag and was happy paying full price, only to find out that most of the store was on sale (nice surprise) and thus ended up spending 100 euro less than anticipated. The sales associates weren't overly friendly, as I may be used to in America, but they weren't rude either, so they're alright in my book. I have by no means checked out all of Milano's leather shops so I can't say how this compares but I can say I left happy.

GENIUS!! Pure Italian design genius! This is one of those accessories that we all envisioned in our…read moreminds but never quite managed to actually turn into a reality. Well, guess what, thanks to some ingenious italian fashionista/designers, here comes a revolutionary bag concept: completely personalize your own bag. How do you come about doing so? You take your bag structure (€38 regardless the size, color) made of EVA (Ethylene-Vinile Acetate), choose the type of handles you best like (leather, pleather, plastic, linen...), you can also choose the lining you want (all sturdy) among endless options: solid colors, floral option, with or without a zipper. Or, you can skip it all together. You can basically jave endless options on how to, literally, build your own brand! And, how (may you ask) about those of us who aren't lucky to have one of these mythical stores nearby? Fear no more, you can order online and have it delivered to your doorsteps... I have the feeling i may have found my new obsession...

Once inside, you will discover what could almost be an overwhelming selection of leathers, lengths, qualities, colors and styles if not for the expert guidance by the helpful staff - who were wonderfully Italian and graciously patient. We spent a good hour or so in there having a blast and coming out with a very special, practical and chic souvenir from Milan.

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.

From 7.00 to 14.00 Take the Underground Line 2 (the green one), the nearest station is Porta Genova, but is actually 15 minutes walking to the market, otherwise you can catch a tram somewhere, there are a lot that pass through that area. Or you can get bus 94, get down to Colonne di San Lorenzo (a very nice and alternative place, also at night), walk through Corso di Porta Ticinese, turn right after passing through the Porta Ticinese (it' s like a biiig oold arch), walk 2 minutes and you'll see the river Naviglio, that's where the market is! The precise place where the market starts is Via Valenza 16, but you can just get in it by the river Naviglio. You'll find a wonderful range of vintage things, from clothes to home decor, accessories, bags, typewriters, hats, jewels, boxes, advertising ecc. It's big and wonderful!
