I don't even think it deserves a 1star. We were looking forward to coming here and wanted to buy a…read morefew things for friends and family before we returned to our respective countries after living in Milan for 4mths. We hadn't even entered the store and was looking at the display at the front only to be growled at by the lady to not touch anything, then shoved in front of us were we we looking at bags. She really made us feel uncomfortable so we backed away and then she stood in front of the little doorway, so it was clear to us that we weren't allowed to enter. No smile, no hello. The worst service ever!!!! So we went elsewhere and bought our 8bags. Your loss. Your bad attitude. Don't waste your time going!!!!

I made the mistake of not checking the "non-recommended Yelp reviews" located at the bottom of…read moreCuir's listing. It seems very coincidental that these hidden reviewers had the exact same bad experience that I did when trying to go to the store and the only reviews that easily appear are the good ones. My family and I arrived at 2:50pm on a Wednesday afternoon via taxi, specifically aiming to buy authentic Italian leather bags to bring back home. When we got there however, the bags were out on display, but the entrance was blocked with two chairs and a cardboard tube. The woman inside was on the phone and very abrasive, shooing us away and claiming that she was not open until 3. From what I could see, it's a little hole in the wall with only a handful of unfashionable (and not vey soft looking) boring leather pieces. I echo the sentiment that it was not worth the trek.

I chose a bag and was happy paying full price, only to find out that most of the store was on sale (nice surprise) and thus ended up spending 100 euro less than anticipated. The sales associates weren't overly friendly, as I may be used to in America, but they weren't rude either, so they're alright in my book. I have by no means checked out all of Milano's leather shops so I can't say how this compares but I can say I left happy.

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.

GENIUS!! Pure Italian design genius! This is one of those accessories that we all envisioned in our…read moreminds but never quite managed to actually turn into a reality. Well, guess what, thanks to some ingenious italian fashionista/designers, here comes a revolutionary bag concept: completely personalize your own bag. How do you come about doing so? You take your bag structure (€38 regardless the size, color) made of EVA (Ethylene-Vinile Acetate), choose the type of handles you best like (leather, pleather, plastic, linen...), you can also choose the lining you want (all sturdy) among endless options: solid colors, floral option, with or without a zipper. Or, you can skip it all together. You can basically jave endless options on how to, literally, build your own brand! And, how (may you ask) about those of us who aren't lucky to have one of these mythical stores nearby? Fear no more, you can order online and have it delivered to your doorsteps... I have the feeling i may have found my new obsession...
