Looking to buy real leather in Florence, Italy, without falling into the trap of fake or low-quality sellers? In this video, I’ll show you how to spot fake leather and avoid scams while shopping in one of the world’s leather capitals. Join me as I visit a luxury leather store to uncover why Florence’s reputation is under threat. Then, I end up at a solo craftsman’s workshop to buy a high-quality belt at an amazing price. Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned traveller, this guide will help you shop confidently! The cheapest market we found in Florence was Mercato delle Cascine which is open every Tuesday from 8 am – 2 pm https://maps.app.goo.gl/NKR7hh66GCaYGV85A. This weekly market in the Cascine Park on the banks of the Arno River is like shopping in a huge open-air department store. The high-end leather school and workshop we visited is Scuola del Cuoio Leather School of Florence https://maps.app.goo.gl/LW4amiheNPKEm7P77. It takes them a week to make custom orders. The solo craftsman's workshop and store was 'Made in Tuscany' https://maps.app.goo.gl/6pf6KMnTaoCzKDAj6.
