I was tasked with having to purchase a leather satchel/hobo bag in Rome for my daughter, whose birthday was upcoming. She specifically wanted a chestnut brown color, if possible. While walking around the streets after touring the sites, I went in and out of shops, never really seeing anything that fit the bill. In fact, many purses didn't seem to me to be real leather or well made at all. Then I saw Deccio and the owner standing right outside the door, as it was a very warm day. Looking at the displays in the window, I spotted not one, but two purses that looked perfect. He got them for me and we went inside. No doubt about it, everything in there was real leather! He explained that the bag I chose was designed and MADE in Florence. He sadly sad many manufacturers design them there, but outsource the making of them to China. He refuses to carry them! What a delightful gentleman he was. And my daughter was thrilled with it. Not a fancy-looking shop, but it has anything you could want in leather purses and travel items. read more
