Shopping in Florence, Italy

Shopping in Florence is not limited to Miu-Miu or Hermes boutiques. Plenty of local markets. Ask around for where the locals buy their goods from including gold jewelry, leather bags, scarves and belts. That's how I found out about the market near the old bridge. I found beautiful bags with great style and amazing craftsmanship. It's not too big but the quality is way better than the one near central market. Was actually surprised to see jewelry in the area. reminded me of Pondy Bazaar.
