La bottega di Settignano

Leonardo Bugelli might be young, but he masters the art of custom tailoring -and take its really seriously. If you order a shirt you will have to come several times for fitting and wait about 6 months to actually receive the piece, but its finesse, perfect cut, hand-stitching and quality of its fabrics (all of Italian origin) are well worth the wait.

Shopping

When it comes to shopping, Tuscany is Italy at its finest. Boutiques overflowing with crystalware, jewels and gold pieces of art, leather or high quality Italian fabrics : the streets and towns of Tuscany would not be the same without their floating sense of exclusivity and luxury. But the region is also a constant celebration of traditional houseware, ceramics and terracotta plates, where the handmade is king. And if your heart has a stronger tilt for the pleasures of the palate, exploring the region's cities and countryside is always the occasion for wine tasting (one word: Chianti), trying some traditional pastry or marvel in the local olive oil and other natural products.
