Your Personal Shopper in Florence

Florence has always thrived on its mercantile activity and still does today. This city is the ultimate shopping mecca.

Shopping at small, independently run Italian stores might be different than you’re used to. Italians treat their shops as an extension of their own homes. With a personal shopper you will discover where to acquire the best Italian-made goods to suit your style and budget. Choose from expertly crafted items from local Florentine artisans, including leather goods, gold jewellery, ceramics, silver, shoes, Florentine paper and handmade, and embroidered linens. The personal shopper can arrange a private visit to a leather designer’s showroom, any clothing designer’s shop, or to Florentine merchants offering extensive selections of exquisite jewellery, mosaics, and cameos.

You might stroll streets such as Via Calzaioli, Via del Corso, Via Roma and the upscale Via Strozzi and Via Tornabuoni, the Fifth Avenue of Florence as well as Via Tornabuoni and Via della Vigna Nuova where major Italian and European designers are to be found.

On the outskirts of Florence are designer outlet malls that can keep the most earnest of shoppers enthralled for days. Depart Florence with your personal driver for a half or a full-day of shopping to designer outlets where you will see Italian brands such as Valentino, Armani, Gucci, Fendi and many more – all with discounted price tags.
