Where to buy leather goods

Where is a good port to buy leather goods?

If you are stopping at Livorno, Florence has a bunch of leather stores. It is hard to resist.

If you miss Florence and are going to be in Barcelona that is another great place to look for leather goods.Cadiz also.

We'll be in both Florence and Barcelona, which would have the best prices?

 

Thanks.

If you do the Amalfi Coast, we found some great stuff in Sorrento.

Barcelona has better prices, but I like the Italian leather better. I also agree that Florence (around the Ponte Vecchio and the Duomo) are the best places to shop for leather, but you will find it all through the Tuscany region and in Rome and Venice.

To be honest with you..don't go for the price.Go for what you like,what pleases you,what fits,what catches your eye.I have found that the price difference is not all that much.I found in both places that the price marked is not always the price paid.Just my thought.

Look in Peter Greenberg's book, The Travel Detective. I believe he lists the specific stores to shop in Rome, Venice, Florence and Barcelona.
