Shopping in Florence

CHOOSE FLORENCE HOTEL GROUP FOR YOUR SHOPPING IN TOWN

Since the days of the medieval guilds, Florence has been synonymous with fine craftsmanship. Such time-honored Florence specialties as bookbinding, jewelry, lace, leather goods, silk, and straw attest to this. The longstanding tradition of Florence artisanship has also made the city a center of both antiques and reproductions. More recently, the Palazzo Pitti fashion shows and the burgeoning textile industry in nearby Prato have added fine clothing to the long list of merchandise available here. The familiar labels - Prada, Gucci, Versace, Ferragamo, to name but a few - can all be found in Florence, as in most major cities in the United States (prices can be mildly less staggering in Italy, however).
