FABULOUS FLORENCE BY LAUDOMIA PUCCI

Florentine fashion royalty, Laudomia Pucci, measures up a city of majestic museums, fabulous fashion and floral magic.

Start with something special
At our headquarters in Palazzo Pucci, in Via di Pucci, we can organize VIP appointments where guests can be talked through the latest collection as well as having a special tour. We can also grant access to the archives, and provide a unique VIP service.

Then discover new talent
I go to Luisa Via Roma for shopping. It is a fashion concept store and a great discoverer of new talent. It is luxury and contemporary at once, with everything from fashion and jewelry to skateboards!

Before indulging another passion
For a snack I love the truffle sandwiches at Procacci, just off the Piazza Della Repubblica. You can have them with tomato juice, they are just exceptional. Procacci is known by every Florentine. Camillo, on Borgo San Jacopo, is a Sunday lunch must. I love the spaghetti bottarga and the fried mozzarella. It is quite rich food, afterwards you have to go jogging in the hills!

Then sample the culture of majestic Florence
The Museum of the Opera del Duomo is just one of the most beautiful places, with incredible religious art in a modern setting. It is very important to go there.

And to end? How about a little magic
I strongly recommend Sebastian, the flower magician of Florence. He has a store at Hotel Savoy, my favorite hotel in Florence. He is a real genius.

Why nostalgia is the new luxury at Brown’s Hotel

As the world turns ever faster, the more we crave moments that feel timeless. In an age of novelty, amid the noise of constant ‘connection’ and the short-lived churn of the new, many are choosing something rare: nostalgia. Comfort is found in the familiar, meaning in memory, and beauty in places that feel lived-in. Nostalgia has emerged as the new expression of luxury, not as a retreat into the past, but rather a graceful refusal to let its traditions and heritage fade away.

Made in Italy

In a city with a legacy like Florence, it is only natural for inspiration to take root. And alongside the bigger, global brands, small artisans flourish through their innate ability to tailor their ideas to an individual’s taste and dreams.
