About Florence Shopping
It's not a stretch to believe that at one time, Florence was one of the major fashion capitals of Europe. Though that title might have shifted to Milan, Florence is still one of the best places to pick up an antique or two from one of the many packed stores or some homemade soaps from the surrounding Tuscan countryside. Leather has always been a large part of Florentine society, and it is still made using the same techniques that had been around for hundreds of years. With so many different shops touting their purses and jackets, you are sure to find something you can bring back home and show off to your friends. Different neighborhoods have their specialities, so knowing which area to go to when looking for a certain item can help save you time and some cash when you choose to buy.
