My wife and I stumbled upon Romano Balatri (downstairs). Greeted very nicely and were very helpful. Everything we needed was priced upon the weight of the jewelry.

What a beautiful store! On a corner on the northern side of…read moreone of the most famous designer boutique streets in Italy (via Tornobuoni) is Locman boutique. Old iron gates open into a arcaded, vaulted vestibule at the entrance of a modern store. What a jewelry-box of a shop. Locman is famous for its watches (which they make for the Italian Air Force, Navy and Army). Gorgeous faces, various sizes available for men and women. Locman also is known for their leather goods and I found the handbags and purses to be well crafted in durable leather. On the mod side, they also had small accessories. I thought the small nylon purses and travel shoulder bags were very cute and offered some fine detail for women who don't want ostentatious logos on their bags. I decided to choose an inexpensive cross-body bag. A great choice for someone who is on the go.

In preparation for a business/leisure trip to Florence, I came across this article about a great…read moreleather shop: https://www.italymagazine.com/featured-story/last-leather-artisans-florence-cuor-di-pelle and if time allowed, we wanted to stop by. We did have time and went in with very high expectations. I must say, both Daniele and the shop exceeded them! He could not have been more welcoming or knowledgable. And the goods were simply beautifully designed (many by him!) and done with the highest craftsmanship including many that are hand stitched by him. And great value to the money... we bought several pieces and walked away with a new found respect for the artisan tradition that remains alive and well in this gem of a spot. And great respect for what Daniele has built in the remarkable tradition of his family. If you love well crafted leather goods, this is a must place to stop. Would definitely recommend to friends and will stop by again when we are in town.

You can ask him anything and he most certainly will answer you if he knows the answer. He is also a very talented person and I think if you're passing by and want to buy something, you should also spare a few minutes (or more) to have a chat with him. I bought like 3 coin pouches, 1 sketch book, 1 pencil holder, and a belt. With only 100 something euros! Much cheaper than most other places, not to mention Daniele will make your experience in this shop a memorable one. Indeed a highlight during your stay in Florence! And you can place personal orders with him. Definitely will come back if I have the chance to!!
