Handmade Lambskin Leather Jacket

Florence leather at source: a bespoke-fit jacket for roughly half what Italian leather costs abroad — if you buy from a real workshop.

Price: 400 EUR (Typical range €300-600 for a made-in-Florence lambskin jacket from reputable workshops; market stalls quote less for lower grades)

Where to buy: Scuola del Cuoio (behind Santa Croce, Florence) or established via workshops; San Lorenzo market only if you can vet quality

• Authenticity checks: smell the leather, inspect stitching and lining seams, and demand a 'Vera Pelle / Made in Italy' label AND a receipt with the workshop's name — much San Lorenzo stall stock is imported
• Haggling is normal at market stalls, not in workshops
• At €400+ you clear the €70.01 tax-free minimum easily — insist on the tax-free form; stalls that can't issue one can't give you the refund
