The person that assisted me in the store was extremely helpful and convinced me to get a bag and a belt. She even sized the belt for me right there in the store.

They specialize in leather and eco-friendly vegan leather handbags and also beautiful Etruscan style jewelry made from silver and bronze alloy. The shop is very clean, bright and colorful. It's hard to anything because it's all eye-catching. The friendly and lovely young woman who runs this shop is also the designer of all the handmade jewelry and her father is the designer and craft mans that makes all the handbags. How wonderful! You can tell Figus Designer takes pride in their work, everything is very beautiful, neat and well crafted. I'm so happy I made trip to see this location. I got to meet the wonderful family behind FIGUS and I got myself a well made fun handmade leather fringe handbag and beautifully unique Etruscan handmade earrings. I only wish I bought more, my earrings needs a necklace or bracket......haha!

We hadn't even entered the store and was looking at the display at the front only to be growled at by the lady to not touch anything, then shoved in front of us were we we looking at bags. She really made us feel uncomfortable so we backed away and then she stood in front of the little doorway, so it was clear to us that we weren't allowed to enter. No smile, no hello. The worst service ever!!!! So we went elsewhere and bought our 8bags. Your loss. Your bad attitude. Don't waste your time going!!!!

It seems very coincidental that these hidden reviewers had the exact same bad experience that I did when trying to go to the store and the only reviews that easily appear are the good ones. My family and I arrived at 2:50pm on a Wednesday afternoon via taxi, specifically aiming to buy authentic Italian leather bags to bring back home. When we got there however, the bags were out on display, but the entrance was blocked with two chairs and a cardboard tube. The woman inside was on the phone and very abrasive, shooing us away and claiming that she was not open until 3. From what I could see, it's a little hole in the wall with only a handful of unfashionable (and not vey soft looking) boring leather pieces. I echo the sentiment that it was not worth the trek.

I chose a bag and was happy paying full price, only to find out that most of the store was on sale (nice surprise) and thus ended up spending 100 euro less than anticipated. The sales associates weren't overly friendly, as I may be used to in America, but they weren't rude either, so they're alright in my book. I have by no means checked out all of Milano's leather shops so I can't say how this compares but I can say I left happy.

Cause the…read morepeople who get it, just gets it.. who am I kidding we are irresponsible adults with our money. Rich people won't be caught standing in this line, in this summer heat. The perception of me being boujie is I love certain designer things. I wanted a Goyard bag because I was sick of my neverfull, everyone has it. Little did I know these girls all thought the same in line... HAHA!! If you know Goyard, it is one of the brands that make themselves very exclusive. You can only purchase them in store, they will not ship, nor will you know their price until you physically go in a brick and mortar. They have locations in the US, none in Hawaii. You are also limited to only buy 4 a year! The staff and service was amazing. The staff came by the line to hand out green umbrella and asked which item we had in mind to check stock. This why you aren't wasting your time if you wanted a specific item. I ended up waiting for 1 hr with my portable fan, I never travel without this, it's a life saver in humid conditions. When I got in the store, it was tiny fits 8-10 customers plus 8 workers. My sales associate told me today the line is a little shorter sometimes people wait 2hrs minimum. WHAT!!!! 1hr was bad already but 2hrs! At first I wanted a cross body and I really was set on the An jou mini tote. Asked the sales associate about white Belvedere and cap-vert. They only had red and blue in cap-vert, I tried on the red and my assigned sales associate he was so honest, he said girl that does not match you. Don't waste your money on that color or the style. Now that I LOVE you for being so honest and not just telling me to buy it. America would never do this, most lie to get you to just buy. More reasons to love Italians. I was set on white and he told me the mini an jou is very popular, it's a true reversible tote. Inside was black leather and the outside was the Goyard canvas design. They didn't have white but they had black/brown, blue, green and red. Firstly he said red is not my color, green and blue are the popular colors right now but black/brown is easier to pair with everyday. I went with the classic color black/brown mini Anjou and got a little painted blue heart Goyard to look different. They do custom graffiti art on the bags, cost depends on the size. I also got the conti pouch in white because I was set on getting a white Goyard too. He said the conti pouch is a great pouch, bigger than most pouches. In my mind I was planning on making this bag a cross body! Lol 2 in one! Honest question, would I do this again? HELL NO! Did I get what I wanted? Yes. Do I regret it? Oh absolutely! I have been home for a few months and I lean more towards the conti pouch, the insert in place making a cross body was more of a go to when I go out for errands. It was more practical as a going out bag. I love my mini Anjou but it's more like a work/brunch/ girls date bag since it has no zipper. The insert helps hold my stuff in place. It does go over the shoulder. I do end up picking my bigger totes for work. If you want a Goyard, stand in line and get it! I had a good experience here. Milan is the shopping capital, a boujie girl heaven.

Visiting Milan seemed like the perfect time to purchase a pair of Italian leather driving gloves directly from the country they're made, so I headed to the main luxury shopping district with a credit card and sense of sheer determination. The Sermoneta shop is small yet inviting, with pleasant enough salesclerks working behind the counter. They'll size you up based on looking at your hands and will pull out a huge basket of every glove option in stock that will fit. Don't expect any literal hand holding here, these ladies were European cool and no-nonsense. You're welcome to try on as many gloves as you wish, and I recommend you do so to find the ones that look and fit the best. Also watch out for popped stitching before you buy as these are handcrafted items. The gloves here are absolutely beautiful, the leather buttery soft and the colors vibrant. I wanted a pair of fingerless gloves for those hot Las Vegas summer days but I also fell in love with a full-fingered pair of two-toned purple and cream gloves so I had to get those too. You can go as simple or as fancy as you wish, think anything from basic snaps, extravagant bows, sparkling rhinestones, or simple pull-on styles. I wanted beauty with functionality so I passed on the froufrou accoutrements and kept it conservative. These aren't cheap gloves by any means (expect to spend $75 - $200U.S. per pair), but my two pairs are super high quality, are gorgeous, and it's fun to tell the story when I wear my Italian driving gloves that I purchased in Milan whenever I get behind the wheel of my new Porsche.

Everything is just lovely and it's easy to tell that it is all very well crafted and detailed, they take pride in their work. Speaking with shop owner I asked him if he made the bags and he said yes and showed me the workshop. Not only does he make all the hand bags, but the workshop is right behind the shop, so cute. I don't see that at home in NYC. He was very friendly, very helpful and a pleasure to meet. I only wish I bought more.

I much prefer to spend $300 on one of a kind classic Cocinelle bag than $300 Michael Kors bag that you can buy anywhere. I fell in love with my wine red suede pocketbook with big gold clasp closure and detachable straps, this bag is totally design meets function, it's not only aesthetically pleasing but also has useful multiple pockets. And the classy minimalist design is so versatile that I can use this for multiple occasions, even for a wedding as well as casual occasions. I love the fact that it's spacious enough to put even my iPad Pro, which is a huge plus. What was even better was that the bag was on sale for the first time during the winter sale, which never happened in the past. Instead of paying €335, I was able to get it for €225. Unlike the States , sale only happens twice a year in Italy so if you happened to be in Parma in January or July, make sure you stop by Cocinelle!!

Well, guess what, thanks to some ingenious italian fashionista/designers, here comes a revolutionary bag concept: completely personalize your own bag. How do you come about doing so? You take your bag structure (€38 regardless the size, color) made of EVA (Ethylene-Vinile Acetate), choose the type of handles you best like (leather, pleather, plastic, linen...), you can also choose the lining you want (all sturdy) among endless options: solid colors, floral option, with or without a zipper. Or, you can skip it all together. You can basically jave endless options on how to, literally, build your own brand! And, how (may you ask) about those of us who aren't lucky to have one of these mythical stores nearby? Fear no more, you can order online and have it delivered to your doorsteps... I have the feeling i may have found my new obsession...
