Desii Vintage (via de’ Conti 17, 19 + 21R) is one of Florence’s original secondhand clothing stores and defends its cause today, from Gucci to Chanel and back.

If you are looking to find mainly designer vintage at a good price (expect to pay in the hundreds), Desii might be just the place to start your hunt. The curated selection includes shoes, handbags, scarves and clothes of high-end and designer brands.

Although the prices are reflective of the brands they sell, they still give a great bargain on lightly used or simply resold items from designers like Burberry, Celine and Gucci.

Melrose Vintage’s large locations (via Nazionale 8 carry a variety of western feeling, 'rock ’n’ roll' and edgy pieces, including hundreds of vintage Levi’s, leather jackets, boots, accessories and more.

Some of the items definitely lean more towards the expensive or “designer” side of vintage clothing, so you just have to be more mindful of what you’re buying and if the price is reasonable for it.

Epoca (via dei Fossi 6R) is fully stocked with a curated selection of high-quality items, ranging from sequined ’80s sweaters to powerful investment pieces.

Out in the tuscan hills Tuscan hills, you can also visit the Mall. An open-air outlet mall where you can enjoy shopping for luxury fashion brands like Prada, Valentino and Gucci whilst possibly enjoying steep discounts of up to 50 percent but please do your research.Additionally, non-EU residents can get tax-free refunds by presenting their passports in exchange for tax-free receipts.

The Mall is open everyday and you can hop on the daily round-trip service from central Florence to get here. (Euro 15 for an individual return ticket).

Humana Vintage carries a variety of unbelievably well-priced and well-curated retro clothes, with all profits going to charitable projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Humana has two storefronts in Florence’s city center: via delle Belle Donne 4/6R

Humana Vintage is a small, but jam-packed store full of trendy vintage with 'Goodwill' prices ranging anywhere from five to 50 euros.

Florence’s Humana can be found tucked into a side street called Via delle Belle Donne and Humana is a more budget-friendly introduction to the Florence vintage scene.
