Shopping in Italy
Hey MFA– I'm going on my honeymoon in Italy this weekend, and I’m wondering if I can get some suggestions for shops/brands to keep an eye out for? If it helps, I dress "casual", often a mix of workwear, prep and milsurp, though I like sport coats and high-rise pants if I'm going to an event or fancy dinner.
We’ll be stopping in Milan, Venice, Florence, and Rome on our way down to the Amalfi Coast. So far the places I’m locking in to visit are Scuola del Cuocio in Florence for leather jackets, and Giuliva Heritage in Rome for their 70’s style shirts and outerwear. I’ve been getting targeted ads for places like Capalbio Abbigliamento which appeals to my interest in heritage-styled clothes, but I haven’t seen too else much on them when looking online.

Milan will have every high street brand you can think of, in addition I'd check out Ambroeus, Il Bivio, and Groupies
I checked out the Barena store in Venice the last time I was there but didn't love it, I know they also have one in Milan
When I was in Florence this month I found 2 shops, Desii Vintage and out of fashion. They’re on the same street Vei Di Conti around the corner from Starbucks. Out of fashion had vintage military and denim, Barbour, and some Japanese brands like OrSlow.
I think there is even a permanentstyle article about vintage shopping in Florence.
Oh nice. I'll have to look it up!
Thank you guys! I checked out Il Bivio and Vintage55 in Milan, gonna keep my eyes peeled for vintage stores in Florence
