Hi beauties! :) Yesterday my parents came back home from their Italian trip. In addition, that I got to know so much more about Bergamo, Florence, Tuscany and Seville, I also got beautiful local souvenirs.
Salvatore Ferragmo is historical shoe museum in centre of Florence, in Palazzo Spini Ferroni (if you're interested, read more HERE).
The museum is not only a place where you can see old brands but they are also selling new and fresh designed Italian shoes there. The most interesting and amazing thing was to know that they had books of their newest shoe brands and collections! In Finland we just have a shoe shop and you pick up your favourite ones: if you don't find your right size or the color of shoes, the seller says ''I'm sorry''. In most of shoe shops in Italy they have some screens where customers can see the hole collection of their favourite shoe brand. If your favourite shoes are no longer available you can point out the shoe of the screen and the seller will purchase them to the shop. It takes a few days and after that you can go and pick up your dream shoes! Unbelievable?

On the top you see pictures of each shoes. Behind of the pictures is a text ''PLATE'' and number of the collection. Every ''plate'' has a kind of description of the collection, that's amazing! On below you can see the background text of my favourite bag collection and pictures of my other favourite ones.
So! On below a few pictures of other souvenirs. Every of them are from local places in Italy: the Peonie hand soup is made of Italian flowers and the black notebook is from the shoe museum in Florence. The another cute notebook and a pen are from a little village in Seville (the population is only 40 inhabitants there!!) This smaller book is handmade and the figure is a sign of Florence. My mom wanted to pick up very light blue writing ink color because I'm totally in love with it. I will absolutely take that book and the pen with me when I'm going to see the world. Imagine how beautiful text you can get writing with the ink!
