after a year

i found there is really only one necessary place to shop in florence, société anonyme. it's a clothing concept store near san ambrogio, a more obscure part of town that tourists generally don't go. they're outfitted with simple, quirky, well made merchandise from designers in sweden, denmark, france, and beyond. pick up a holga camera, play with the gold fishes, say hello to massimo, and of course if you spot my darling stefano through the window, (most likely sporting a new pair of vintage ray ban glasses) give him un bacione for me. and be ready to buy black, oooh how the italians love black.
gram shoes, for the lucky gents out there, although i fancy a sleek high top myself

they also carry freitag bags there. but don't fret, you can get "the cooper" or "the bob" or "the leland" online too. freitag
however, one's eye does tend to wander when presented with ruby red sequined miu miu delicacies in piazza republica

ciao ciao! con baci
