I was in Milan with sister and we were in search for nice Italian made leather handbags. After…read morestrolling around a few blocks, peeking in here and there we finally came across FIGUS. 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.
