    Mrs Macis

    Workshop and showroom of the talented Carla Macis, this eye-catching boutique - dollhouse-like in design - specialises in very feminine 1950s, '60s and '70s clothes and jewellery made from new and recycled fabrics. Every piece is unique and fabulous.

    Casini Firenze

    One of Florence's oldest and most reputable fashion houses, this lovely boutique across from Palazzo Pitti keeps its edge thanks to American-Florentine designer and stylist (she does personal wardrobe consultations) Jennifer Tattanelli.

    Alessandro Gherardeschi

    Distinctive men's and women's shirts and blouses, short- and long-sleeved, in dozens of designs - floral, cupcakes, vintage cars, all sorts! - is what this colourful little designer boutique near the river sells. Count on paying €80 to €140.

    Société Anonyme

    Near Mercato di Sant' Ambrogio, this urban concept store turns to London's Brick Lane, Berlin's Mitte and other hip neighbourhoods for inspiration. Look for its list of brands chalked on the board outside (and the Shared Platform design gallery next door).
