Then we met the owner and designer, Ana, who changed the Murano glass button and talked with us about their unique hand crafted products from design to finish!

Not only did I end up with an amazing purse, but the whole experience was unforgettable! Thank you Mila and Ana! (I hope I spelled your names correctly)

I ended up purchasing one of the original purse styles (Borsa No. 1) in a different color, but all the items I previewed were gorgeous.

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.

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.

My husband bought a pair of stunning handcrafted leather dress shoes for about $150 U.S. These shoes are so awesome and look like nothing you can buy in the states. The best part was we bought the shoes directly from the cobbler who made them! He was hard at work in the shop when we came in. There are also a lot of beautiful women's shoes but most are leather boots. If you are into that sort of footwear, check it out. The shoes are all very unique looking and they just felt "special." The owner was super friendly and kind and was very helpful (even with us speaking broken Italian and him speaking broken English). A great shop with quality leather footwear. I'm a fan!

When I entered Burberry I was greeted by a very nice SA who was extremely helpful and patient. I knew what I was seeking and she not only located my item but she showed me other options and suggested that that I also try on my item with a thinner shirt just to see the difference, which she provided. I was quite impressed that she was able to tell me my size just by looking at me, glad she didn't guess larger lol. I was able to purchase my item and she explained that if I paid with visa or MasterCard my VAT is automatically applied, which was the first time I've been told that in all of my travels. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is due to other staff members banter. My card was declined initially and not due to no funds but my credit card automatically assumed fraud...since this is not my first rodeo I knew what to do but I didn't appreciate the other associates standing around watching and speaking about me. The SA was patient and unbothered which is why she still got the sale but my advice Burberry associates please don't make assumptions, typically those traveling from the States have the money and are well prepared to spend it due to the massive savings by not getting the luxury item in the states P.S The store policy doesn't allow you to use an outlet to charge your phone, so make sure you're completely charged :)
