    Black leather jacket

    I bought a beautiful black leather jacket and was helped by the lovely men that worked at this shop. They were extremely kind and were able to work with you and your price range to find the perfect jacket for you! Additionally their leather is authentic and great quality! I would definitely buy from this company over other shops in the area that i visited.

    Ask for Rasool or Jimmy! : )

    Husband and I had been hoping to find genuine leather jackets for ourselves while in Florence and SO so so luckily came across Jimmy's Leather shop and could not be happier with our purchases. Jimmy and his associate Rasool were so helpful and welcoming upon entering the shop and were more than happy to help us decide between the different shades and materials of leather. I cannot stand shopping in store but they made the experience so wonderful and I somehow*** found my dream jacket thanks to these two gentleman! They have unbelievably amazing quality jackets in store made of material such as lamb and buffalo skin. Also, if you see something you like, make sure you ask Jimmy because they may have other colors of your preference in stock as well. I cannot stress enough how helpful they were and were NOT pushy. Genuinely nice people and again am so thrilled with both jackets my husband and I purchased from this store. Just stop on by and do yourself a favor and actually feel the jackets for yourselves; you'll 100% feel the difference in weight/feel and you truly cannot beat these prices - again for THIS type of handmade quality. Can't wait to be back in the future with friends/family and thank you so much again Jimmy and Rasool!!:)

    Johnny was AWESOME!

    Heard about Jimmy's on Tripadvisor previously and happened to get pulled in from the street by a different vendor. I'm glad that happened. Johnny gave us the best experience as we were looking to get my fiance her first leather jacket. Johnny was super consultative, funny, and has a sense of style. He even shortened the sleeves for free. As a sales guy, I didn't feel pressured during the process. I was so tempted to get myself a third but will save that for my next trip to Florence. The leather market all sell the same "Verra Pelle" labeled jackets that felt thin and cheap. Jimmy's was definitely of higher quality and they have many different styles. I HIGHLY recommend this shop for leather jackets! Thank you again for a wonderful experience.

    From Chicago and this was my first trip to Florence and I was convinced I didn't need another leather coat. Then I stumbled into Jimmy's and saw a gorgeous tan leather coat. Mario (the man!!) at Jimmy's closed the deal by making me feel comfortable with the quality and price. It was one of the highlights of my trip. First class quality and service and fair on the price. I'll be back to Florence and Jimmys!

    This is a fantastic shop. Mario took us in the back of the store and treated us like we were family. He asked us a couple questions then brought out a couple jackets for us to try. He listens very well to what you want specifically, finds the right style, cut,, color and comfort just for you. I love my jacket and am very thankful that I purchased my jacket. There are so many too choose from I thought it was overwhelming, but it was a great relaxing shopping experience. My jacket has vented holes to keep me cool. I love the softnesss and the style. Best of all I think it is a perfect cut for my body. Thank you so much for you hospitality.

    Love it! Thanks, Jimmy, for the beautiful design.

They are a leather making school which I think makes it even better. They have a showroom full of different items from purses, wallets, belts, and jackets. Everything is carefully crafted and handmade. No two are alike. I was looking for a crescent brown shoulder bag which they did not have at the time. I ended up going with a different brown bag which I love!! I also purchased a belt for my boyfriend. Any product you get there you are able to get initialed. If you pay for your whole order in cash you can also receive a slight discount as well. I personaly know the product is a little bit more but for the uniqness and quality I think it is well worth it and the best souvenir!

    Florence (Firenze) is known for their beautiful leather products. Many visitors want to return home…read morewith a nice keepsake from their visit to Florence. So leather goods are very popular in Florence. The best place to get leather items in Florence is from Scuola del Cuoio. The leather is from Italy and the leather items are made on site by the artisans. The school was started by a family during WWII to help orphans from the war learn a trade. The school is still run by the same family and family members work at the store. The great granddaughter of the founder helped me with my purchase and was wonderful to work with. There are many leather market stalls around town that offer cheaper items but they can't beat the quality of the leather at Scuola del Cuoio. It might cost more at Scuola but you can rest assured that you will have the best quality product. I ordered a custom handbag so I could pick the type of leather, color of leather, color of hardware and also have it embossed inside with my initials. They estimate that custom orders take 5 months but mine arrived in 4 months. I also purchased a wallet and a crossbody bag off the shelf while I was there. They help with all the VAT paperwork so getting the VAT refunded was very easy. When we go back to Florence, this is a place I'll be visiting again!

Several of the designs in their window caught my eye so I returned first thing the next day. Their shop has 3 unique leather techniques I have not seen at any other store. I love the feel of soft smooth leather, but usually find leather heavy, especially if it has a basket weave pattern since that doubles the weight. BG has 2 patterns that look like a weave- one a geometric square pattern, the other a raised "pinch" pattern, but are actually cleverly sewn from a single piece of super soft, thin leather. Their 3rd weave pattern creates these gorgeous optical illusions of 3d circles/waves. I was blown away by the craftsmanship, thr lightness of the leather, and the gorgeous colors- classy greige and powder blue, rich burgundy, evergreen, and navy, and luxurious gold and bronze. BUT I didn't want to get carried away and blow my budget before checking out the rest of the city. So I left and started looking. Basketweaves were all over Florence, of varying colors and qualities. But nothing like the 3 I saw at BG. I went back this time w my motherinlaw who has much more experience in high end luxury names and products, and she immediately declared the quality of the leather and uniqueness of their patterns a definite buy. Paulo was so helpful, quoting her an amazing price (similar to many prices we had heard from sellers of products at the mercato stalls without the same quality, workmanship,or guarantees. In fact, she decided to custom order her bag for the colors of her choice in the design she wanted. While she was deliberating, I wandered into the back and found- their amazing leather coats! A super classy reversible 3/4 length deer suede/leather jacket w an intricate mandarin collar and cuffs using an alternating basketweave. Gorgeous! flattering! Buttery soft and light as a feather! But then... Paulo showed me their piece de resistance, this gorgeous buttery white/greige 3/4 sleeve cropped jacket w this mod funnel collar- with their special geometric square pattern detailing the cuffs and collar. So gorg!!!! Yet again, I wanted to make sure I wasn't just being a rube from america... And I spend the next day checking out several recommended shops around Santa Croce, high-end stores near the Ponte Vecchio and... I even found a store that had attempted to knock off their pinch-weave and their optical illusion weave- but couldnt nail either look. The leather was too thick and bulky, the stitching on the pinch pattern was easily visible, they couldn't carry off the 2-tone weave so they did single color, etc. And believe it or not, they were asking the SAME price as BG! I also found another store that knocked off their black deerskin coat, but again they just didnt get the leather or the fit right- little details kike the pockets being way too shallow, and tightness at the elbows w movement.... And yes, asking the same price! So today, I ran back to BG ready to use up all my vacation allowance on clearly the best shop in town.... Sadly Paulo has left to attend his daughter's exams, which I thought was incredibly sweet, but his nephew was there to help me place my order. I had hoped to let Paulo know how much I loved the beauty of the design and quality of their family store, and how much I had appreciated his enthusiasm for showing all the products to my motherinlaw and myself even when we weren't ready to commit earlier in our trip. He was so kind and classy, and their products are really so gorgeous and incredibly fairly priced, that I'd easily be convinced to buy maybe one more thing if I wasn't literally leaving town before they open tomorrow! I am incredibly happy w what I ordered and we had been so enthusiastic, we convinced several of the people in our tour to come take a look and make purchases too!

So many shops with pushy and aggressive salesmen trying to pawn what seemed to be lower-quality leather products, but we avoided most of those. Some of the shops we visited based off previous reviews, and others we just walked into because they seemed worth checking out (and didn't have anyone aggressively trying to usher us in). We went into I Medici mainly because there was nobody outside the shop trying to drag us in--and the shop was located well away from The Leather School (be very wary of most of the shops in the square near The Leather School!) and boy were we in for a pleasant surprise! The salesman we saw the first day (we returned to actually purchase three days later) was very laid back, friendly, and basically just answered our questions and made a few recommendations based on what we described. He provide a pretty detailed explanation of the materials and process they used. I am not a leather expert, by any means, but the quality of leather here seemed on par with even that of The Leather School--but at half the price! The only difference we could see (and feel) was the bags at The Leather School were actually lined in leather, while the I Medici bags are lined in canvas with their emblem stamped all over it. I personally prefer the canvas lining. When we returned on day four, this time there was a friendly woman to meet us, and she immediately went and found a bag and purse that matched the sizes and descriptions of what we wanted. She was very patient and friendly, and explained the VAT tax refund process at the airport (only residents are required to actually pay this tax). We used the duffle bag to pack souvenirs we had already accumulated, and continued to add to that for the last ten days of our trip, and so far it seems very sturdy, but will follow up down the road with a review on durability. I highly recommend this business.

So I was delighted to see that they have a shop in Florence. As someone else noted, it's a nice small store, not a warehouse or whatever is shown in the business photo. The sales associate was super nice and not pushy at all. The Mister ended up with a gorgeous computer bag, and I snapped up a smaller version of my beloved travel bag as well as a few gifts. They do have more "modern" styles with bright colors and textured leathers but my advice would be to stick to the more classic designs and the muted colors - those are done with natural dyes and will last you a good long while. There's a lot of leather on offer in Florence and a lot of it is crap. The prices here are moderate and the quality is really good as my 10+ year old bag attests.

I love my stonewashed dusty rose hand woven leather bag. It honestly looks just like the fancy $3K Bottega Veneta bags. It's a medium parachute bag, that's super light weight and very durable. It's a good size, I can throw in my wallet, phone, a water bottle, and still have plenty of room for other stuff without any bulk! Roberta's brother is so passionate about designing the bags and helpful. He patiently answered my questions and explained to me to the process of stonewashing and distressed leather. He was really humble and not at all pushy, finally a shop owner that I can trust! I was able to haggle a little bit by 10% and paid about $150 or so. It was a steal! All of the bags are high quality with unique styles and vibrant colors. There are only a handful of shops that carry hand-woven leather bags and colors like dusty rose or mustard yellow (I was so close to getting another bag!). While everyone raves about Benheart, they are seriously missing out! You are paying for the brand and nice show room than really the product. Roberta's also offers a much more authentic experience and better styles for a fraction of the cost! Given that there are over hundreds of leather shops in Florence, the fact that Roberta's comes up with 4.5+ stars on Yelp, Google, and TripAdvisor, is a true testament of their brand and high quality products. It's my go to leather shop in Florence!
