Any bike part you need they have it! We were looking for bike pegs all over the center (seriously, for DAYS), we went to 6 different places and none of them carried them. Here not only did they have them, but they had two kinds! *Head explodes* The bmx tube kind of peg even came in 3 different sizes. And only about €5. Score!

Beware the "buy a bicycle, we buy it back from you" program! The "lock" they give you with the…read morebicycle is VERY cheap and is made out of thin sheet metal, some plastic, and a very thin metal cable inside ... it looks thick but mostly air inside that lock! I parked it during a Sunday evening near the Bargello in a bicycle parking rack along with 50 or so other bicycles, and less than two hours later the lock was cut and it was gone! When I showed the cut lock to the shop owner, his comment was "next time try chain" ... well, why didn't you offer me a "real" lock in the first place??? I think they give you this cheap lock because they know the bicycle will be stolen with it, and they don't have to buy it back!

The design and colour were on spot. The customer support was exceptional and helpful. They brought me many sizes, colors and provided lots of good suggestions and feedback. I was very happy with the experience overall. Definitely come back here in the future : )

Vibrant colors, hip crowd, super friendly workers. Ben's story and the name of the store is super interesting and obviously inspired. We ended up getting a belt made which turned out nicely (picked out our own clasp, also) and was done pretty timely. There were a lot of other very appealing items (shoes, jackets), as well. Definitely happy we chose to stop here.

The style and quality is incredible and it's all designed and crafted here locally in Italy. We bought a few bags at very reasonable prices and also gifts for friends. We will enjoy these bags for years to come and never forget the experience and hope to visit again one day! Don't waste time like we did looking at all the imported and non authentic leather at the market and other shops, as well as the pushy sales people, go to Roberta Firenze.

I have NEVER had such an exciting and enjoyable shopping experience in my life. When I was there I never felt pressured, received tons of information on quality and even was able to compare good quality leather with premium quality leather (from cream to butter). They feature brand name and house ties that start from 18€. I know what your thinking, and while you can get four ties for 10€ in the market, they are garbage so just shop at Roberta's instead. Don't compare flea market to custom. They have hand stitched ties in this shop that will out-live you! They also sell scarves, wallets and purses that can be custom ordered at no extra cost. You want a neon green wallet with a gray interior because the Seahawks made it to the Super Bowl again? Done! You will not find another quality leather shop like this in Florence, which is why they have three locations! Check the website. I even managed to get a ton of sightseeing advice while shopping! I walked out with a smile and after my great conversation was given 3€ off my tie and my wife a free leather keychain! What an experience! Worth every penny!

Lower prices than other shops in Florence (for example, a leather tray that cost 15€ in another shop cost 10€ here). The owner was friendly, spoke English, and can even do custom shoes!!! Got a couple items and considering contacting him for a custom shoe later on. Must stop if you're leather shopping in the city.
