San Lorenzo Market

About

Florence’s large outdoor street market, with hundreds of stalls selling leather goods, clothing, scarves, costume jewellery, ceramics and souvenirs.

Via dell’Ariento and surrounding streets, Florence, Italy

San Lorenzo Market transforms the streets of Florence into one of Italy's busiest open-air wholesale markets, drawing buyers and curious travellers alike. Hundreds of stalls line the district, where vendors compete for attention with leather goods, fashion apparel, scarves, costume jewellery, ceramics and souvenirs stacked high on every table. Bargaining is part of the ritual here, so come ready to negotiate on jackets, bags and belts. Wholesale buyers sourcing clothing and accessories in volume will find plenty to work with, while independent shoppers hunt for gifts and small runs of jewellery. Stalls change hands and stock shifts quickly, so regular visits pay off for anyone building a retail assortment. Set aside a morning to wander the lanes near the basilica, compare quality across sellers and confirm pricing before you commit. For wholesale market sourcing in Florence, San Lorenzo remains a practical, energetic stop on any buying trip through Tuscany.
