Hi folks!
I'm visiting Italy later this year and am interested in some sartorial items that would be unique to the region. In particular, some leather goods (gloves, bags, jackets), shirting and shoes.
After some searches through the SF archives, I've come up
- Madova gloves. I've heard that the quality has gone south recently, but there hasn't been any recent posts
- Avoid the leather bazaar, attend the leather working school instead (Scuola del Cuoio)
- Try Enzo Bonafe for some RTW shoes
- Try Simone Abbarchi for shirting (I believe it's MTM?)
- Try Ottino for briefcases, bags
Apologies if I'm dredging up this region again, there hasn't been a recent post and some of the threads don't even load anymore with the new site.
Thanks
