It's 24 degrees in Tuscany at the moment so it's not too late to catch some sunshine (and enjoy a spot of designer shopping) in the incredible city of Florence.
This is a wonderful city of art and culture - and home to the recently opened Gucci Museum. The museum displays a fabulous collection of clothing, accessories, glamorous gowns and rare home and lifestyle items - and a travel themed room displaying luggage pays tribute to Gucci's job as a porter at London's Savoy Hotel in the late 19th century. There's even a Gucci customized Cadillac!
A celebration of yet another iconic Italian designer can be found just a short walk from the Gucci Museum. The Salvatore Ferragamo Museum holds an impressive collection of photographs, drawings, footwear and wooden casts of various famous feet.
Grand Tourist can create the perfect short break for you this autumn - combining stylish accommodation, museum visits and shopping opportunities in the city of Florence and its surrounding desginer outlets. Go on - treat yourself! We would love to hear from you!
