Tuscany and Italy, in general, are both places famous for style, culture, and incredibly-made objects. There are countless heritage brands throughout the region that have existed for literal centuries and continue to produce stunning items. Of course, we know of the Guccis and the Ferragamos of the world but there are countless other amazing Tuscan brands to discover. In particular, there are lots and lots of wonderful homewares brands that produce the kind of stunning household goods that interiors lovers will lust over and even the totally uninterested will stop and admire in awe. Among these, the ceramics brand Ginori 1735 is an exceptionally brilliant example. Of course, with the expertise, impeccable design and construction, and gravitas lent by the age and reputation of the brand, the price tag associated with their goods in not insubstantial. For many, a large proportion of their pieces will fall well outside their usual budget for such things. However, if you like to invest in your homewares, or you really just want to own something from this beloved brand yourself, or you have a larger budget to play around with then you might be interested in the Ginori 1735 factory shop in Sesto Fiorentino. A brilliant way to get your hands on some stunning pieces at discounted rates or to really stock up if you are one of those people who have a larger budget, this is a must-stop spot for all interiors obsessives who find a luxury villa in Florence and are planning on spending some time exploring the area around the city or for those who find a villa with pool in Tuscany and are willing to make a specific day trip to the store.
As noted, the factory outlet for Ginori 1735 is located in the town of Sesto Fiorentino, a very pretty and historic place famous for its ceramics that is located not far from Florence, and it is definitely the best place to stock up on the fine porcelain pieces of this brand at a lower price point. Originating with Carlo Ginori in his workshop in Doccia all the way back in 1735, the name Ginori quickly became utterly synonymous with unparalled quality and luxury. Run by the same family for over a century, until 1896, the label was then acquired by Richard of Milan and made into the brand that it is today. Still known for its sophisticated porcelain goods and being produced to an exceptionally high standard, Ginori now also has a great reputation for making both classic items and reaimgining the history of the label and Italian design for contemporary audiences, particularly through its regular collaborations with important designers and artists from around the world.
The gorgeous flagship store for Ginori 1735 that can be found in the historic centre of Florence is known for being one of the most beautiful retail spaces in the entire city (and worth a visit just to admire in its own right if you are out shopping in the city) but the Sesto Fiorentino factory outlet store has been updated in recent years and boasts a rather delightful shopping experience itself today. Discounts of up to 50% (and sometimes even more) are offered on the pieces in the outlet, particularly on collections that do not have all of the items in stock to complete a full service. This means that there items at a wide range of price points that will suit many different customers. While there is a large amount of stock to choose from with some discontinued items often to be found as well as some classics from the brand, you won’t necessarily find that everything is in stock. However, you’ll still find lots to admire!
So, if you love stunning home goods then be sure to find a villa with pool in Florence or a vacation rental in Tuscany and set aside time to head to the charming town of Sesto Fiorentino to visit this amazing shop as well as the town itself.
