The streets of Florence are lined with high-end boutiques and designer shops. If you’ve got deep pockets, these are the shops that have the name-brands, and the prices to match. But shopping at the San Lorenzo Market is more of an adventure. You have to be a smart shopper. There really is no guarantee that what you buy isn't a Chinese knock-off. A lot of stuff here is fake and faux, but there are jewels to be found.
The first thing is to decide how much you want to spend. A designer bag is definitely quite the status symbol, but not all of us can really afford one. No worries though. There are plenty of well-crafted, stylish bags here for every budget.
Here’s the thing: Italy is a country that doesn't do things half way. Their women are smart and stylish, and they demand a lot from the fashion industry. So follow a few guidelines, and you’ll find a piece built with good material and quality workmanship, without breaking the bank.
