Where To Buy Leather Goods In Florence

Florence and its surroundings are home to the largest leather production in Italy. Here, you’ll find plenty of boutiques to buy unique leather goods, such as wallets, jackets, bags and belts. The Florentine tradition of working leather is antique and still today, you can buy beautiful products made by artisans.

1. Benheart

One of the coolest stores in Florence, especially for young buyers, is Benheart. The high-quality of the leather goods, shoes, accessories and jackets is the reason why it became so popular and opened other stores in Rome, Verona, Milan and Tokyo.

Shop, Store

The Piero Tucci shop is not easy to find because is located on the outskirts of Florence.

They will explain to you, step by step, how to work the leather and show you how to assemble it to create handbags, jackets, bags and other accessories.

6. Porcellino

Market

The beautiful Mercato del Porcellino, named as such because of the bronze wild boar statue situated here, which is a popular tourist attraction, is not a store but an outdoor market located just few steps from the Cathedral. Here, you’ll find plenty of leather goods, but remember that usually, markets are among the trickiest places to shop, so keep your eyes open and use your expert skills to distinguish the quality of the leathers.
