Florence

Il Bisonte

Known for high-quality bags with classic Italian styling-like natural tanned leather and minimal details-Il Bisonte pieces are so classic, they're trendproof. We want one of its summer totes (from $95 to $225).

Il Torchio

Tucked away on the less touristy side of Florence-south of the Arno River, in the Oltrarno neighborhood-this paper shop is a true slice of old-world Italy. All of its journals and diaries are covered in beautiful hand-marbled paper and created on-site in the tiny workshop/store. (Prices average $8 to 24 for a journal.)

Luisa Via Roma

Widely recognized as one of the most cutting-edge boutiques in town, Luisa Via Roma offers a roster of coveted items-from beaded Chloé handbags to Burberry trenches, along with a killer selection of shoes. But before you start shopping, sidle up to the in-store espresso bar for a caffeine jolt.

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.)
