About Leather Markets
Florence
The leather markets in Florence, particularly around San Lorenzo and the Mercato di San Lorenzo, are one of the city’s most iconic shopping experiences. Stalls and shops line the narrow streets and alleys, offering everything from beautifully crafted leather jackets, handbags, and belts to wallets, gloves, and shoes. Many of the leather goods are made using traditional methods, with an emphasis on quality and attention to detail. The markets are a great place to find unique, handcrafted pieces that reflect the timeless Florentine style – sleek and elegant, yet practical. Leather is often dyed in deep, rich hues, with popular items including vintage-style satchels, chic totes, and luxurious wallets. While the leather market is a must-visit for shoppers, it’s also a cultural experience. Vendors often craft the leather goods right in front of you, showing off their skills and explaining the different types of leather they use. However, be cautious when shopping in the market—while there are many reputable vendors, there are also some who may offer lower-quality goods that are overpriced. It’s always a good idea to ask about the materials used and to shop around to ensure you’re getting the best deal for genuine Florentine leather.
