 Designer Shoes: Direct from Italy and Brazil
Via Firenzi - Bucktown
1821 W. North Ave.
View your Invitation
With the value of the US dollar at long-time lows, a summer shopping trip to the shoe factories of Milan (or China these days) may not be in the cards. Not to worry - a taxi to North Avenue in Bucktown/Wicker Park may be all the travelling you need to do...
Nestled 3 blocks east of Damen Ave. (across the street from Akira) is Via Firenzi, a gem of a shoe store for serious shoe divas, as well as fashion-forward men. Via Firenzi, literally translated from Italian as "by way of Florence", carries a wide selection of fine Italian and Brazilian imports -- at prices often as much as 50% below full retail.
While you may not recognize the labels, don't you dare say the word "knock-off" in the presence of shoe veteran and boutique owner, Steven Lowenthal. His curated collection of shoes is sourced from some of the same manufacturers who produce for the likes of Prada, Christian Louboutin and other top designers.
Whether you're looking for stylish Italian pumps, tres chic Brazilian sandals or a terrific selection of men's shoes, Via Firenzi is a shoe destination you won't want to miss. (If you're stocked up on shoes already, they also carry a nice selection of imported handbags and evening/party dresses.)
If you're not otherwise in the Bucktown neighborhood, the quality and amazing prices are definitely worth the cab fare.
