Tad Outlett

This shop receives the sale merchandise from the Tad Concept Store-and since it's only a short walk away, do pencil in a visit. There's lots of home decor, like sequined pillows (about $50), but we headed straight to the back room, which is flush with deeply discounted clothing by big names like Balenciaga.

Madova

High-quality leather gloves in a myriad of hues—and for between $25 and $65—make this a popular stop for Florentines and tourists alike. There are even lining options: from silk to cashmere to shearling.

Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella

Easily one of the most impressive boutiques we've ever visited, this legendary pharmacy was started by monks in 1612. Not much has changed-you still shop for its gorgeously packaged lotions, perfumes, and soaps in the ornate, virtually untouched monastery. (The only modern accent: The checkout area is where the altar once stood.)

Profumeria Limoni

We're fans of inexpensive Italian beauty products, like thick Neutro Roberts shower gels ($3), lemony-scented Manila handcream ($1.75), and moisturizing, lightly fruity Labello lip balms ($2 to $3). This drugstore chain sells these and much more.

Spezieria Erboristeria Palazzo Vecchio

This Florentine pharmacy is revered for its eponymous line of herb-based beauty products—especially fragrances, like its Acqua di Firenze, a clean, cool-blue-colored scent ($14).
