My mom and I happen to find this little gem of a store. It was our first time in Florence, once we…read moreentered the store, we were greeted by an older gentleman. He was super nice, and pulled out all kinds of beautiful scarves. At the end, another lady was helping him and us, she suggested my mom purchase the blue silk scarf for my mom, as that would look nicely with my moms grey hair, and it did! I highly recommend anyone to visit this store, I definitely want to visit again!

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!

Florence is famously known for authentic italian leather and being in the right time and in the right place, we couldn't waste this amazing opportunity. Social media says il Bisonte is one of the best that you can find in Florence, uses authentic leather materials, high end materials, and exceptional artisanship. So we went into the store and browsed to see what we could find. There were lots of amazing items made by leather: wallets, card holders, coin holders, passport holders, bags, etc. The customer service was exceptional they were on top of us describing the process, the workmanship, the different color, designs, pricing, etc. I wanted a tri-fold wallet but they didn't have that in their design and they may consider putting it out next year. Can't wait for that to happen. In the meantime, we saw passport covers to be amazing so we purchased two: black and brown. They soft and hearing from social media review should be very durable. Can't wait until their color wear down to become better looking. I am so amazed for the purchase and happy that we were in the right spot and right time for this purchase. I'd say it was one of the best purchases i've made that came with amazing customer service, on top of the product being a high end product. Super satisfied with the process : )

I recently purchased the Sara bag from Pelleteria Artigiana Viviani and wanted to share a detailed…read morereview based on my experience from ordering through receiving the product. Before placing my order, I contacted the company with questions about possible customization. They were very responsive and helpful, though the specific changes I wanted were not possible. They did offer alternative options and were easy to communicate with. After placing my order, I also inquired about adding a key leash, but by that point the internal construction of the bag had already been finalized, so it could not be added. This was entirely my oversight for not requesting it sooner. Throughout all communication, responses were consistently fast--always within 24 hours--and polite. I placed my order on April 22, 2026. The website stated a 40-day production timeline. As that timeframe approached, I reached out for an updated estimate and was initially given a delivery date of June 1. When no shipping update had been received by June 3, I followed up again and was informed there would be a delay, with an updated estimated delivery window of June 16-June 20. The bag ultimately shipped on June 16, I received tracking on June 17, and it arrived on June 18. While communication remained polite and responsive, the timeline did shift multiple times and ended up being longer than originally stated. Since then, the company has updated its website to reflect longer lead times due to increased demand and the small size of their workshop. Shipping was €50 at the time of purchase (now listed as €60), and there were no additional customs fees. The bag arrived very well packaged in a sturdy box, with a dust bag included and the bag itself properly stuffed and wrapped, which made the presentation feel thoughtful and premium. As for the bag itself, the quality is excellent. The leather has a rich natural smell, feels soft yet structured, and the craftsmanship is very well executed. One detail I especially appreciate is that the body of the bag has no edge glazing, with glazing only on the detachable strap. Despite being the smallest size in this style, it holds more than expected due to its wide opening and fits my daily essentials comfortably. The only functional drawback is the interior phone pocket, which is quite stiff and does not comfortably fit my iPhone 13, though it works for flatter items. In terms of design, I have only minor personal preferences, such as the angle of the top handle hardware when using the crossbody strap, but nothing that affects overall usability. Overall, while the production timeline was longer than initially stated, the quality of the bag itself is excellent and exceeds what I expected at this price point. I would still consider purchasing from them again in the future, particularly the larger sizes of this style, but would go in with more realistic expectations regarding lead times.
