Florence is not only the cradle of art in capital letters. Its innumerable museums, monuments and spectacular squares are in line with its artisan or design shops. Although here there´s an established luxury industry, especially in terms of leather and skin creation (with tailor-made shoes and bags on order), there are also affordable shops for everyone.
And one of them is Madova Gloves, right in the centre. Following that artisan tradition of leather, this small artisan industry which will soon be 100 years old in the same place where it started, dedicates itself to making, by order or ´ready to go´, gloves for everyone and in all styles. Although recent times impose themselves and the shop has a good website with all of Europe´s official languages, the best thing to do is that you drop by Via Guicciardini from some of the excellent apartments in Florence and try on some of their gloves. You can find them for all tastes, occasions and colours. If you liked the idea and want to buy them afterwards, you can always do it online.
We´ll wait here for you for your thoughts on your trip. And if you bought gloves at Madova Gloves, we have plenty of curiosity and would like to know more about it.
