Shopify agency for Florence brands
Shopify stores for Florence’s leather workshops, jewellers and artisan labels, telling the craft story clearly and shipping to customers all over the world.
Shopify development and growth for Florence brands
Florence has been a centre of craftsmanship for centuries, and that tradition is still visible in its leather workshops, goldsmiths on the Ponte Vecchio, paper makers and perfumers. Several luxury houses began here, and the Pitti Uomo trade fair brings the menswear industry to the city twice a year. Many Florentine brands are small, family run and highly skilled, selling mostly to customers from abroad who value handmade quality.
We work with Florentine brands remotely, with calls in your morning and staging stores for every change. Typical projects include custom themes that show craftsmanship properly, personalisation such as monogramming, made-to-order production with honest timelines, international shipping with duties included and SEO in English and Italian for searches about Florentine leather, jewellery and gifts.
What Florence brands need from their store
Leather goods and personalisation
Bags, belts and wallets often sell with initials or custom colours. We add personalisation options with previews, pass details to the workshop with each order and show realistic production times.
Buyers from abroad
Many customers discover Florentine brands on holiday and buy later from the US, UK or Asia. We set up local currencies, duties paid at checkout and English-first content so international orders feel straightforward.
Pitti Uomo and wholesale
Menswear and accessory brands meet stockists at Pitti Uomo. We add wholesale portals with line sheets, minimum orders and payment terms, so trade customers can reorder online after the fair.

Frequently asked questions
Can customers add monograms or custom details to products?
Yes. We set up personalisation fields or a product customiser with live previews, set price changes for each option and include the details on the order, so your workshop receives exactly what the customer requested.
Can we charge duties at checkout for US customers?
Yes. Shopify supports collecting duties and import taxes at checkout for many destinations when you use eligible shipping services, so customers are not surprised by charges on delivery. We set this up and test it with real orders.
Are you based in Florence?
No. Our Florentine clients work with us remotely from India. Calls take place in your morning, progress is shared on a project board, and nothing goes live without your approval on a staging store.
