MUST VISIT. My fiancée and I found this place after walking around Florence. This is a family owned…read morebusiness and we ended up spending a ton of time there talking with them, such nice and friendly people. 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.
My visit to Florence started out a little bumpy but after my visit to Roberta's and meeting Sandro…read moreeverything turned up. 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!

Mr. Caradini is an outstanding artist and a great person. We stayed in a an apartment near his…read moreworkshop. I found myself admiring his work on a number of occasions. His work has a certain eclectic cut and paste feel (he often literally cuts and pastes a variety of source material onto his multimedia pieces). The man is skilled with everything from exacto blades to pencils. From war propaganda to nature scenes his inspiration is varied and interesting. He's often creating new pieces in the shop and it's really cool to watch him work. He is also an all around awesome guy. On our last day, we were waiting over an hour for our cab. Paolo came out and talked to us for a few minutes. After learning that our cab had been missing and that my poor Italian skills didn't help when calling the cab company, caradini invited us into his workshop. He then proceeded to call several cab companies and speak Italian for us. We would have missed our flight without him. If I'm ever in Florence again (and not a broke grad student), I wouldn't hesitate to stop by and purchase some art

This place felt authentically Tuscan and one of a kind, making our purchases more special than if from one of the many tourist stores we passed in bigger cities. A delightful find!

When we entered, the shop owner, an older gentleman, greeted us and once he saw we were actually taking our time looking at the scarves, he started pulling all kinds of scarves from the rack and in the end there was a mountain of scarves on the table! He didn't mind one bit as I tried this or that around my partner's neck. His current one was a bit worn out and I wanted to gift him a nice 100 percent wool scarf for his birthday. In the end, I purchased a nice 100 percent wool blue plaid scarf as a birthday present for my partner for 50 euros and it was well worth it! Even if you don't buy anything, I recommend stepping into the shop for the experience alone. I will go even as far as to say that Ermini's shop is a scarf equivalent of Mr. Ollivander's wand shop in Harry Potter!

I randomly stumbled across Adam Leather Factory walking home, and like many foreigners seeing…read morehundreds of leather shops all looking the same in Florence, I was really hesitant to walk in as it seemed like just another one of the shops run by non-Italians who are more geared towards lower quality items and tourists who don't know better selling at higher prices. Boy, was I wrong. Very wrong. The moment I stepped in, to the left I saw gentleman who had several leather strips out on a ladle and was hand-sewing a wallet for a customer at the counter. I was immediately greeted with an extremely warm smile and voice by Mickael who was just an absolute gem to talk to and chat with, and helped me find the right item for my Dad. Mickael before stepping out then let Mozzi know about what I was looking for and how they could work with me, and I had so much fun talking with Mozzi in my broken Italian that we chatted and laughed together for over AN HOUR together in his shop! In the meantime I saw just how kind he was to all the various customers all over the world who came into his shop working with them and making them feel extremely comfortable from the second they walked in. Mozzi even customized the lettering of a wallet with a specific idea I had in mind, and I saw all the amazing beautiful custom work he's done and proudly owns as well, like a one-of-one Macbook Pro Leather Satchel Messenger Bag that was just a work of art, or leather air-pod cases he made that were just brilliant - brilliant. His work needs to be seen by more people around the world. At the end of our hour chatting together and just having a blast talking and learning from one another, Mozzi gave me an excellent price on the items I was interested in, and just made my entire week being a class-A gentleman who TRULY cares about his work and being creative and passionate and being a step above everyone else. He is an artisan, and it was really an absolute joy and perfect happen-stance to meet him. Mozzi, thank you again brother. UN GRANDE PIACERE. Can't wait to swing by again for any other items I may need on my next trip. I wish you all the best brother, you deserve it!!! Keep up the amazing honest hard-work. You are on a roll and up and coming!
So the wife's big day-bag is slowly coming apart after a couple of months of travel. That means…read morewe've got to get a new one. I vote for a real leather one; after all, we are in Italy and it is what they are known for. There was a flea market near the Medici Chapel with lots of bags. The origins were suspect and the prices varied greatly from booth to booth. Walking along the sidewalk, we saw a leather store. We walked in. No pressure. The place is family-owned and operated and has been for generations. The goods are all top-shelf in quality and made in their local workshop. We explained what we are looking for and the nice "Nonna" shows the wife six styles. After a few minutes, the wife picks the 'winner'. It ain't cheap, but what the heck, it'll probably last a lifetime. We were there on Veteran's Day. So the wife says she wants to get me something for Veteran's Day, but I decline. The "Nonna" says that in the 1930's here father was gone for 7 years fighting in Albania, and to honor me and him and all the Vet's from all the wars, she insists on giving me a really nice leather key fob gratis. It is so nice that I am not sure I'll ever use it! Time for the bill and she basically cuts it in half on the spot. We tried to correct her, but she insisted. So... if you are looking for a great deal on some quality leather goods, go see the "Nonna" at "Leather Point". Tell her I sent you. :-)

As someone who loves crafts (to buy, not make), I was automatically drawn to II Papiro partially because of its welcoming and warm lit environs, but mostly because of its incredible stationary, papers, cards, and related accessories you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else in the world. As the digital age begins to permanently change how we read and communicate and express ourselves, it's important to remember that at one point in history, paper making was as much of an art as anything that was written or drawn on it. You will find papers of all colors, patterns, and more importantly, textures at II Papiro - each item is the type of product you know much work went into. I bought a few cards here...the designs are extraordinary colored silhouettes of Firenze landmarks and had detailed cuts in its design. I also bought a wax seal (although I remember being tempted by the nice calligraphy pens). Although I've only used it a few times, I still get a kick of STAMPING melted wax with my seal (my fancy looking initials). If you're ever at Firenze, this place is definitely worth stopping by if only for even a little bit...you might find something you will value taking home with you that beats a lot of items you could find at your regular tourist traps.
