Founded in 1954 by Florentine stylist Carla Braccialini and her husband, Robert, Braccialini makes bags that are authentic works of art in bright colors and delightful shapes, such as London black cabs or mountain chalets. The adorably quirky tote bags have picture-postcard scenes of luxury destinations made of brightly colored appliquéd leather. Be sure to check out their eccentric Temi (Theme) creature bags; the snail-shaped handbag made out of python skin makes an unforgettable fashion statement.

Lebanese designer and artist Gilbert Halaby was featured in fashion magazines like Vogue and created jewelry for Lady Gaga before giving up the rat race and opening his own shop, where the ethos is all about slow fashion. He designs boldly colored leather handbags incorporating suede, python, fringe, raffia, or jeweled handles, as well as silk scarves printed with his original watercolors, which he sells in this small boutique that feels like an extension of his home, with a velvet sofa, plenty of books and plants, and his own paintings on the walls. The shop is mainly open by appointment, but if Gilbert is there when you pass by, ring the bell and he'll invite you in for coffee or Campari. Open by appointment.

One of Florence's best-kept secrets for up-and-coming designs, Patrizia Pepe first emerged on the scene in 1993 with an aesthetic that's both minimalist and bold, combining classic styles with low-slung jeans and jackets with oversize lapels that are bound to draw attention. Her line of shoes is hot-hot-hot for those who can walk on stilts. As a relative newcomer to the crowded Italian fashion scene, the brand's stand-alone fame is still under the radar, but take a look at this shop before the line becomes the next fast-tracked craze.

First founded in the 1920s, Tod's has grown from a small family brand into a global powerhouse so wealthy that its owner Diego Della Valle donated €20 million to the Colosseum restoration project. The shoe baron's trademark is his simple, classic, understated designs and butter-soft leather. Sure to please are his light and flexible slip-on Gommino driving shoes with rubber-bottomed soles for extra driving-pedal grip. There is also a location on Via Condotti.

In business since 1552, the Antica Farmacia---likely Rome's oldest pharmacy---is run by a family of pharmacists and produces its own line of skincare products and dietary supplements.

Considered by many to be the Cadillac of fedoras, the dashing Borsalino fedora has been a staple of the fashionable Italian man since 1857. Adorning the heads of many silver-screen icons, including Humphrey Bogart (who donned one in Casablanca) and Harrison Ford (as Indiana Jones), Borsalino retains its unmistakable class, style, and elegance. Few hats are made with such exacting care and attention, and the company's milliners still use machines that are more than 100 years old. Borsalino also has boutiques near the Pantheon and Piazza di Spagna.

A landmark wineshop inside the former coach house of a noble Roman family, Buccone has 10 layers of shelves stretching impressively from floor to ceiling that are packed with quality wines and spirits ranging in price from a few euros to several hundred for rare vintages. The old atmosphere has been preserved in the original wood-beam ceiling, long marble counter, and an antique till. You can also buy jams, pasta, and packaged candy perfect for inexpensive gifts. A simple lunch is available daily, as are aperitivo and dinner (though reservations are required for dinner). However, it is the atmosphere and wine list rather than the food that makes the old shop noteworthy. For that reason, book a week in advance, and they can also give you a guided wine tasting, with highlights from many of Italy's important wine-producing regions.
