If you’re visiting Florence have all the pasta and paintings you can get, but don’t leave without visiting at least one vintage secondhand store. These shops dive further into Florence’s beauty, and have unique stories to tell. Bring a tote bag, some patience, and a spirit of adventure. Your next favorite outfit might just be tucked between two shoulder pads and a suede fringe jacket.
