Leonardo Leather Works

Bought a leather bag and wallet from them this past summer, and it was one of the best souvenirs I bought during my trip. They have a lot of different choices when it comes to bags and wallets. Everything is made out of real Italian leather.

We stopped here while in Florence during our trip because it was a ‘shopping’ opportunity with Contiki. The leather demonstration is quite cool because they give you tips on what to look for, how it feels, and why most places spray a ‘leather’ smell onto their goods. If it’s real leather check for the suede on the other side. It’s usually stamped and embossed but that can be faked too. Too strong of a ‘smell’ may be faked. The staff was really kind. The items are genuine Florentine leather and you definitely get great quality stuff here. I bought a few leather bracelets as souvenirs for friends back home. The jewelry boxes they make here are amazing quality. They gave us a small discount too.

I visited this leather shop for authentic Florentine leather goods. If you’re looking for authentic «Made in Italy» leather, this is the place to buy it. There are vendors in Florence that will sell you something labeled «Made in Italy» but really, it might be made in China or it is made of bad quality leather.
I bought wallets for my entire family as great souvenirs from Florence. I still use my leather wallet I bought at this store three years ago.
