Italian Fashion From Vintage to Very Now


Florence is a Shopper's Paradise for the Designer Fashions That Made Italy Famous

You know the names...Armani, Gucci, Prada, Versace, Dolce and Gabbana, Pucci, Roberto Cavallo, Moreschi, and more.  These are the premier houses of Italian fashion design, and what better place to visit their flagship boutiques then here in Italy?  Of course, Florence is home to spectacular offerings from many other internationally renowned houses as well, including Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, and many others.  Why waste your time here struggling with confusing maps and unfamiliar streets trying to track down their locations?  Just let us know whose shops you'd like to visit and leave the rest to us.  You'll enjoy a customized day of shopping that makes the most of your time, and ensures that you have plenty of time.  Some shops are closed at lunchtime, others are open in the evening, some are closed on Sundays, others on Mondays...why stress yourself trying to figure all of this out?  Come along with a local instead.
