As authentic as it gets. I bought a midsized handbag and my only regret is not buying another one. The quality is impeccable, I honestly can't wait to go back the next time I visit Florence to purchase more of their products. Convinced I'll only ever be happy with a leather bag if it comes from Italy, but specifically this shop. Please support true authentic family run companies and not the foreign street vendors who sell cookie cutter purses that you find everywhere and the leather is piecemeal together.

Pelletteria Adriano - Leather Goods Near Me - Florence, FI

An absolute must if you're looking for an authentic leather store in Florence! This store was recommended to me by a friend and Pelletteria Adriano did NOT disappoint. Not only did I get a bag and wallet for myself, but every member of my family got something as well. Worth every penny! read more

Funny story. I first visited the store in 2016 and my mom purchased me a briefcase with leather shoulder straps that's kind of like a big purse. I love that bag, it's gonna last forever because the leather is such a good quality. The people that worked in the store were proud of their products, they took good time to explain everything to us, they took out so many things to show us and let me try out different bags to see which one would be the best for carrying all my files to Court. I bought the best one, and used it for a few years. Just got broken in. Then my dam dog (DON'T TELL MY MOM!!!) decided to chew the straps. Sigh. I tried to get them fixed locally but nobody could get that quality of leather. SO in desperation, I googled the store and called them. They were able to send me new straps (2 sets just in case!) quickly and efficiently by mail. They were so easy to work with. It was easier to work with them with the language barrier and all then to work with local leather workers. So now every time Im in Florence, I make a point to stop in and my friends love to place orders for me to carry home. Lovely place, lovely people, great quality. read more

We purchased leather goods 5 years ago and they are still in good condition- we came back this year and received excellent service and amazing quality products. read more

I was apprehensive going in after being bombarded by the aggressive sales people in the San Lorenzo market, but Adriano and his wife (?), showed you the difference between the cheap product you find out there and the quality of well made products, that they manufacture themselves. I fell in love with the green color and got 2 bags, more than I planned on, and spent more as well, but owning them now, I will treasure them. Thank you to both of them, but especially the woman who helped an indecisive shopper like me make the right decision. read more

I visited this shop while my friend and I were visiting Florence on a day trip. After reading up on Florence's leather market we decided to visit in order to purchase some Christmas gifts for our family members. Knowing that the stalls lining the leather market were mass produced, and were not high quality leather from the Tuscany region, we decided to peruse the stores that you could walk into. (Things to note when shopping at the leather market: items that can be purchased in every color and texture are not genuine Italian leather, they are being mass produced in other countries and are merely just stamped with the Florence coat of arms. The leather is dyed to achieve the colors. Real Italian leather will have little flaws, freckles, pores, whatever you would like to call them, and the color will usually ALWAYS be shades of brown. The smell will also be musky and will not smell like a chemical. It is important to pay attention to stitching as well.) We had stopped in Pelletteria Adriano briefly as we did with other shops just to scope things out, but ultimately returned. The shop owners were very attentive (hovered a little of course, but that is to be expected) and were very passionate about their products. The woman who worked in the shop took very good care in explaining the process of how her products were made and was very helpful in showing us a variety of models based on what we were specifically looking for. I bought my mom a small-ish purse and I bought a wallet for my dad. Looking back I do wish I would've bought something for myself but as a student on a budget I was being cautious. However, the woman gave me their business card and told me to text her if I wanted something mailed to the states. Both products are crafted very well and were set at a very reasonable price, but of course the owners offered us a deal. I would recommend this shop to anyone visiting the leather market as I do truly feel that I made the right choice in giving them my business. There is also a comfort of knowing these gifts are authentic and made with skill and care. UPDATE :) I decided to finally reach out to the shop owners via WhatsApp - since I am back in the states I cannot browse or shop in person - and it has been delightful being in contact with them. I have since made a few orders and their shipping has always been quick, nicely packaged, and communicative. They are so willing to show you any product you are interested + more, and are understanding, patient, and professional. Truly a gem that I am glad I was able to find and stay connected to from another continent. Such a great business. read more

We visited this store 6 years ago and we bought a wallet and a man's small bag. My wallet is still in my pocket and in everyday use. The bag looks the same as the day we bought it. read more

Adriano's leather shop is located across the street from Mercato Centrale. They close pretty early (before 7:30pm), so make your stop before dinner! Now for product review: fantastic! Adriano takes pride in his handmade leather bags, purses and wallets and with a little persuasion, he'll give you a fair deal. He helped my husband find the laptop bag of his dreams (it has a posh padded lining that easily fits a 13" MacBook Pro) and I got a gorgeous wallet for myself and my MIL. The stitching and quality of leather are visible compared to what you see in the leather stands outside. Next time we visit Florence, I will be sure to pay Adriano another visit read more

I wanted one thing in Florence... a good leather bag. After wandering through the average stalls in the mercato, we stumbled across this shop. The two people working were friendly and knowledgeable. They helped us find exactly what we were looking for... and were patient in the process. Quality leather goods. I'd recommend this place. read more

I bought a Laptop bag paying 200 Euros and was promised a great quality ! In ONE DAY the handle broke !!! This says about the quality of the product. I am trying to reach the owner and no number is going through ! It has been just 2 days ! I have shopped a lot at Florence but always got the value for my buck but A.D Firenze seems to be a FRAUD ! read more

I went to Florence with a resolve that I will get a nice, locally made, high quality Firenze leather. I was worried at first because there are so many stands and shops of Italian leathers but I'm so glad I went to Adriano because his products are obviously of great quality and with high standard of craftsmanship. I made sure to look at many other stores and shops and was truly satisfied that the purses I got from him are not found in any of the other leather stores. His customer service was also nothing short of excellence! read more
