After using my $600 bag for a few months it's fraying inside. The leather looks great but the finish and details are not on par with even the most commercial US brands like Coach. For example my bag came in a cheap dust cover, the lining is a cotton burlap that will easily stain. A comparably priced bag like Voach's Empire would certainly give this one a run for its money. This is a good leather product that doesn't live up to its luxury branding and pricing. I wouldn't buy again at this price point. But it has my initials! And it reminds me of beautiful Firenze. I guess it lives up to what it is: a store for turists!

He treated me and my husband with the utmost care and professionalism. I learned that Il Perseo is his family's owned business, which has been around for decades. You could certainly see how the quality of the purses, jackets, etc. spoke volumes of the leather's integrity and authenticity of the family's craftmanship. My husband and I stopped by Il Perseo around 2pm on a Saturday, and I instantly gravitated to a small, white leather purse with raffia. It was love at first sight. I thought that the design was unique, and the leather on the purse was soft like butter. The purse was also highly functional. I could convert it from a shoulder bag to a wristlet or a chain crossbody. I browsed around the store and found another purse that I could not steer away from. It was a soft green-like sage color with a deep red liner. The unique design of the purse, the extra pockets, and pops of color were what got me again. Similarly I could convert the purse from a shoulder bag to a crossbody. Sam also helped me and my husband choose the right leather jackets that aligned with our personal styles. Since he was also a tailor by trade, he offered to customize my husband's leather jacket to fit his torso and build. What I appreciated about the experience of buying a jacket with Sam was that he didn't try to push us on a sale at all. I personally went home with 2 purses and a jacket, and the prices were very reasonable for everything. I would highly recommend Il Perseo Leather, and go see Sam!

My brother recommended this place and it did not disappoint. I found my stunning purse right away, my sister did the same and was able to have her initials embossed on it and walked out with a smile! There is much love in the shop you can feel the joy and happiness of Sam the owner taking pride in his family owned business. My sister did not only walk out with a purse but also found a gorgeous leather jacket which was tailored to her needs- such a wonderful turn around time indeed! You will not regret walking into this shop, all goods were wonderfully priced as well. While I'm writing this review I'm genuinely thinking about my own leather jacket I have yet to order but am holding on tight to measurements! Thank you again Sam for your wonderful service, you will see a member(s) of the Espinoza family again!

What a fantastic leather store!

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.

They offered us to take a look upstairs, saying it's 5x more than downstairs. The showroom was indeed spacious. They even had shearling coats. The lady who helped us spoke English. We learned they are a family-owned business who has been at that same location since the 1950s. They specialize in exotic skins, so they had ostrich, crocodile, and python. Some of the crocodile ones were made from Nile crocodiles, distinguishable by a hole on each scale. This was my first time in a leather shop, so I couldn't tell if she was bs-ing us foreigners. One of the python skin wallets had scales that were peeling at the bend of the wallet. Our group ended up buying over €2000 worth of stuff, so we shall see if these are indeed high quality. I think the business name should be corrected to Parri's.
