Ginori 1735 Firenze Flagship

11 Best Places for Shopping in Florence | Condé Nast Traveler

"Ginori's Florence flagship has stood on the same site, just a few blocks from the Piazza di Santa Maria Novella, since 1802 (its factory, just outside Florence, was established in 1735), and was famously re-vamped in 2014 when it was acquired by Gucci. Today, it's one of the loveliest stores in the city—nearly 5,400 square feet of exquisite things—and one that's almost too beautiful to enter. Many designs, which are arranged in rooms meant to mimic an elegant home (the dining room, the drawing room, etc.), have changed little over the years. Pieces can be pricey—one plate in the Paesaggi, or Landscapes, collection goes for over $1,000—but come during the occasional sales, and you can find items from the factory for ridiculously low prices." - Nicky Swallow
