L'Arte de' Ciompi Firenze - Negozio d'Artigianato Tipico Fiorentino e Italiano

This is a charming, old world shop with elegantly hand crafted items made from leather and wood. I almost got teary eyed looking at all the beautiful things in the store. I bought an adorable mini music box with Pinocchio fishing off of Ponte Vecchio. I also learned that Pinocchio is from Florence!

This is a magical little shop. I felt transported to a different world as soon as I walked in. They have a selection of handmade leather journals, music boxes, tarot cards, and more. I picked up a leather notebook and a hummingbird music box. These are beautiful handcrafted objects that remind me of the wonderful art culture of Florence. Thank you for making beautiful things!

It's the perfect place for the most unique and beautiful gift you can find in the city (everything is so beautiful that you want to keep it for yourself). The owners are real artists and it seems they really love and respect their art! The woman who owns the shop has a very warm smile and she is willing to help you with anything you may need. Worth the money!!!

absolutely 5 star, one of the best handmade shops in Firenze. Run by family more than 3 generations, everything is elegant and authentic, made by heart. Bought a glass keeper(23.5) and a wallet(34.5) both leather, and two postcards(1.5). Perfect ending of my Firenze trip! There are many other beautiful handmade crafts in the shop, a must visit!

I really enjoyed talking to the woman in front about the crafts that the store produces. She was very good at exhibiting her passion for the paper making, leather making, and the various other items. It is hard for me to quantify but she seemed genuinely kind. 95% of the time when I go to any shop, in Italy or any other country, I get a sense of people being nice because it is their job-absolutely nothing wrong with that. She felt very genuine to me, and I definitely was willingly persuaded into buying a leather box. I wanted to buy even more, but my suitcase couldn't fit more and I am disappointed I couldn't buy more!

Did you know Florence has its own handmade tarot maker?! I squealed in delight when I found this store selling their Tarocchi Marsigliesi (Tarot of Marseilles) where the cards are made with recycled leather! It comes with its own genuine leather case with the Roman god of wine, Bacchus, as the cover. It is so fitting to get a set of leather tarot card in a city known for their world class leather craftsmanship. Of course, when I saw the stunning Sola Busca tarot next to it, I had to get my hands on it too. How can I resist buying one of the original Italian tarot cards from Italy! L’arte dei Ciompi Firenze is a family owned leather and paper good craftsman shop where all product is 100% hand made inside their studio. The shop keeper, Sara, is one of the original creators and it was so lovely meeting her and learn about the history of the Sola Busca deck from her. This is definitely one of my highlight experiences in Italy so far!

If I could live in here, I would. I don’t leave a lot of reviews but I felt like I have to for this place! Everything in the store was handmade and so beautiful. You could see the craftsmanship and care that they put into every single piece. In lieu of generic souvenirs, I would recommend checking this place for local craftsmanship goods! You can get something as small as a fairy postcard at €1.5 to a hand crafted journal at €38. They incorporate Florentine materials and history into their goods beautifully.

Arrived in Florence today.
Decided to search shops up on google,
and this family owned shop came up.
The lady was very kind and explained how things were made.
I really enjoyed looking through your shop.
After buying cards, unfortunately, they were stolen an hour later, so i had to return and buy some more.
These products are worth every penny!
And the store is just beautiful!
If you love playing cards, this is the store to buy them! They are great quality!

Highly recommend this store.
Very professional.

There are many amazing leather/stationary stores in Florence, but this has got to be my favorite! It’s quaint and family run, with very high quality, beautiful, handmade products. I stopped by here today with a friend and we spent so much time there solely because we kept finding new products we wanted to purchase. The woman that helped us was extremely kind and passionate about the store, giving us background into how each piece was made. I’m so appreciative of this gem and happy that I’ll be able to carry their art with me beyond Florence as a source of memoriea. Our experience there was absolutely spectacular and will be visiting again soon for both the products as well as the wonderful sense of community the store provides :)

My favorite shop in all of Florence. I visited three times and bought many wonderful items and will likely stop one more time before I leave. Love love love

Found this cute little novelty shop in Florence Italy everything is made by hand by the family. Pinocchio themed cards and other items were adorable and I loved the cards that I got

I've never been in a shop quite like this and I'm so glad I was fortunate enough to find it. The shelves were full of handmade leather-bound books, journals, hand-painted cards, and other beautiful items. The woman working explained it was a family business and took the time to explain the origins of the items I purchased. She even individually wrapped each item with a certificate of origin. I cannot recommend this store enough!

This was (by far) our favorite shop that we visited in Florence over a four-day visit. It's a great place to purchase high quality things for your home or for thoughtful gifts. On our next trip to Florence we will go back here. And the prices are affordable, especially the printed items.

Hands down our favorite artisan shop in Florence. The detail and heart put into every piece is incredible. It’s family-owned, everything handmade, and the charm is off the charts. I wish we could have taken one of everything home with us! The sweet shop owner was so kind and helpful as we browsed and admired her artwork and detail. This is a must-see if you are looking for something totally unique, charming, and created by a local artisan.

Such a beautiful shop, everything is made by hand, we always felt welcomed walking in to look around. My mother and I bought a few postcards to have framed because the artwork on them is so beautiful. Unique, 1 of a kind gifts, I highly recommend this shop if you are in town!

You can find lots of gorgeous & handmade leather products in L’Arte. It’s worth for you to buy handmade leather-bound scrapbook
for sharing personal fond memories.
Very Good service & nice staff for recommending their products. 👍🏻

Lovely place. The lady in the shop was very nice and happy to show her art. It's clear they like what they do and the products are high quality. I recommend it as a true Firenze souvenir. Also it's nice to be able to support artisans these days.

Very cute store! The items sold there look amazing, authentic and are high quality. The lady at the shop was really nice and welcoming 🩷

This is the most amazing store! I too wanted to live here. The woman that runs the store was so sweet. The crafts are handmade and so lovely. I could have spent our whole trip in this store. My Birthday is coming up and I want to leave this shop as a hint to my husband. Hopefully they ship to the US.

Amazing and lovely small shop, a real hidden gem so close to Duomo. Everything is handmade, all ranges of prices. The staff is very accommodating. The perfect place to get a unique souvenir from Florence.
