19 years ago; I came to Florence with my mother & aunt. Their goal, besides showing me some of the world's great art, was for me to buy a fabulous leather purse. Instead I went home with a chintzy flea market cloth backpack. In my defense, it DID have leather straps.
Until their final days with us, I was reminded of my extreme lapse of judgment.
Today, my lapse was corrected. With Philip's help, they made sure I found myself at the Scuola del Cuoio. Having made our way to San Croce, we were told 3 hours before we could get in. We decided to leave & head for Fiesole. As we were leaving, Philip spotted a gate & we walked thru - there was the school! We went in, no one seemed to mind. I now own a one-of-a-kind leather purse designed by Francesca Gori. Thank you to Mom, Aunt Marilyn & Philip.

I have seen the bag and I have touched the leather and it is beautiful. Truly.
