More of Florence.

Ciao lovely readers! here are a few more photos from my trip to Florence! xo, kels


My trip to Italy has spurred a new obsession with bell towers - they remind me of fairy tales; Europe is just crawling with them!

intricate iron light fixture at the leather school

this pop of pink is so happy! (ps everything grows SO WELL here, there must be something in the water...)

another bell tower

the elaborately carved wooden doors of Basilica di Santa Croce

front facade of Santa Croce (ps sorry for the vertigo - Im experimenting with angles)


translates to "School of Leather"
the next time you're in Florence, you must stop by - its immediately behind Basilica di Santa Croce and was one of my favorite parts of the trip. 

work station

he's making a belt for someone!

annd sweet Caroline made a purchase - a be-a-u-tiful black textured leather handbag. 

zipper detailing - I suggested that a gold zipper (instead of black) might be an interesting touch and Caro loved the idea! The man helping us said that would not a be a problem, that he would custom make it for her... Ok then, that works just fine! 
And then he offered to stamp her monogram on the inside in 22 carat gold. for free. ummm YES please and thank you.
