After a few visits to Goccia, I finally made it to NOI Leather. Nino was very patient and explained the attributes of various of their bags. We did a walk through the store and based on my comments, Nino made further recommendations. It definitely helps that he knows what I like (based on previous experiences at Goccia Shoes), so I ended up with quite a few bags to choose from, most of which I could see myself using. After all the considerations I ended up buying 3 beautiful handbags. I was really happy with my purchases. That evening I realised that Nino and I looked at a specific bag earlier that day, on our initial browse through the store, but did not look at it in detail when we were pulling the potential items out....which just testify to the vast number of options available. So the next day I went back, and Nino had no problem to get my bags from the back. Nino was adamant that if I am not 100% sure about the bag we put aside the day before, I need to double check and if I want we can change. Two of the bags were not up for discussion. The black bag ended up being changed. Nino's patience and customer service really need to be experienced to be appreciated.
The quality of the bags are really top class...the stitching (inside and out) show attention to detail and it is really difficult to decide between the large number of styles and colours.
Nino arranged for delivery in the UK. So no need to travel with my bags. And they arrived today...as beautiful and special as I remembered....timeless reminders of the experience at the store and holiday.
Nino, thanks for your attention to detail, your patience and really wanting your customers to make the right decision for them, your passion for your products and all the advice. I will definitely be back, and next time I am sure I will be buying coats and...
Read moreI am a little late with my post, but this past September my sister and I went to Florence for my 30th birthday. We were lucky enough to be referred by a local to go to this beautiful store and to ask for Nino! As soon as we walked in, we knew we found the right place! The quality of the goods are unmatched. I tried on a jacket and fell in love. Nino asked my sister and I how long we were staying. We said a couple more days - they were so kind and got our sleeves hemmed for us so that the jackets were a perfect fit!!! Going here was a highlight of our trip and we will never forget it. They also have fur coats AND they also had the most GORGEOUS purse made out of python. (Going to post a pic but it won’t do it justice). I walked by it and couldn’t help but to touch it - Nino said “that’s made out of a real python”!!! I couldn’t believe it. My sister went back and surprised me by getting the purse because I could not stop thinking about how much I loved it!!! Now I can’t stop thinking about the mini green purse with python skin that I also should have gotten lol In addition to their leather store, they have a shoe store right down the road. Ask about the jewelry store that is a little bit hidden and you have to ring a bell to get in. Trust me you do not want to miss this place!!!!!! See you all next time we are in Florence!!! :)
Thank you!! Xoxo...
Read moreI can’t recommend this 4th-generation family-owned leather shop in Florence, Italy, highly enough—a true 5-star experience! The craftsmanship is outstanding, with every item, from wallets to bags, reflecting unparalleled skill and tradition. I purchased a truly magnificent alligator belt, a masterpiece of quality and style that I’ll treasure for years. The owner, Nino, is incredibly knowledgeable about exotic leathers and patiently guided us through the selection process with expertise and warmth. His outstanding customer service shone through, especially when he took the time to walk my wife and me through Florence, pointing out where locals shop and steering us away from tourist traps—an unforgettable personal touch! The shop’s friendly atmosphere, combined with Nino’s passion and the family’s legacy, made our visit exceptional. If you’re in Florence, this is the place for authentic, high-quality leather goods. Thank you, Nino, for an...
