SHOPPING MADE IN ITALY: DISCOVERING THE LOCAL FASHION AND MANUFACTURING IN ROME
Artisans, Designers, Craftsmen: Rome is filled with little local stores with handmade fashion that we cannot find anywhere else.
In this video we will discover the 5 most interesting areas of the Italian Capital in which we can have the best shopping experience ever.
I interviewed some of them, walked into their stores and discovered things I never expected to see.
I had the honor to wear some of their garments, I created outfits with them, I documented everything.
This is Rome and its people. Among them, me, at home :)
Enjoy!

Buying leather in Florence, Italy
This is a story about a leather jacket that I bought in Florence, Italy in November/10. It ripped when I got it home to Canada, tried to return it in April/11 to the store where I bought it. The guy working there, and the boss man were jerks, and rude, and would not return or exchange it.

Reveal Rome, Episode 2: Seeing Opera, Renting Vespas, and Buying Leather in Rome
In this Revealed Rome video, we chat about three questions:
0:27: Where is the best place to see opera between Christmas and New Year's in Rome?
1:16: Can we rent one of those Vespa scooters for a day and drive ourselves around Rome? Do we need a license?
2:56 Thoughts on finding authentic, well-priced leather in Rome, rather than a day trip to the Florence leather market? Thanks, Amanda! (The shops I say I'll post in the last answer include Armando Rioda (Via Belsiana 90), Federico Polidori (Via Pie' di Marmo 7), and Marco Pelle (Via Vittoria 15)).
Keep sending me your questions via Twitter (hashtag #revealrome), Facebook, or even in the comments section below, and thanks for watching!

Internet success for leather craftsman
(13 Feb 2017) LEAD IN:
Despite living in an isolated part of the world, a disabled man is finding success making and selling handcrafted leather handbags from his bedroom.
Online sales are providing a lifeline for the entrepreneur in a remote part of Kyrgyzstan.
STORY-LINE:
This is the remote Kyrgyzstani village of Bolshevik.
It's here that the former shepherd, Rakhtabeg Usonkozhoev, is carving out a business for himself.
Usonkozhoev has been confined to his bed for the last seven years after a fall left him with a damaged spine. He's unable to walk or even leave his bed unaided.
Now he supports his family by selling handbags and other leather goods that he makes by hand from his bed.
When his wife left him he needed to bring up his children and provide for them financially on his own.
Now Usonkozhoev lives with his three children, a boy aged nine and two girls aged six and seven, and his parents and his twelve year old brother.
My craft started from sorrow. Sorrow for the time when I was able to walk. Maybe if I was disabled from the birth I would not be so sad. My craft is a very strange, it is a strength to overcome all the hardship I am going through. I think that God has gave me this gift. I have children – one daughter and two sons. When they grow up I do not want them to think that they were deprived of things because their father is disabled. This is my hope and my goal, he explains.
The village is more than 400 km from the capital Bishkek, but that does not stop him from getting an internet connection.
And it is through online orders from Kyrgyzstan, Russia and China that Usonkozhoev has managed to make his crafting business a huge success.
This bag that I am making now has been ordered from Moscow. I received the order via the internet. It came from a firm which deals with medications. This is the fourth day that I've been working on it. l will finish it in four days and send it to Bishkek. Then it will be sent to Moscow. I can make a bag in one day, but some bags need eight days. It all depends on the size. My orders come from the internet, customers send me pictures of items they like and I make them, he says.
Usonkozhoev also crafts goat horns and leather thongs for local herdsmen. But his main customers are ethnic Kyrgyz from China who buy his products and sell them across the globe.
His bags cost from USD $25 to $100 and he makes 2-3 items per month, which is enough to keep his whole family comfortable.
Every time I see my son's craft I am very proud. My husband and me ask God only one thing – to make our son walk again. I am very grateful that people like my son's work and buy it. He mainly works via internet, says his mother, Nukriz Takirbasheva.
Doctors in Kyrgyzstan cannot help his condition. He says he was invited to receive surgery in Germany, but cannot afford to go as the treatment costs 50,000 euros and may not be effective.
But in terms of his business he hopes one day he will be able to open a small factory in the village or in capital Bishkek.

Little known village produces world designer handbags
(10 Apr 2017) LEADIN:
Hidden in a remote village in the Southern mountains of Spain, a centuries-old leather manufacturing hub is defying conventional wisdom about how to survive in a global, competitive world.
Made in Ubrique is a secret success story - and the unseen label of thousands of designer handbags and leather goods from top brands around the globe.
STORYLINE :
Locals in Ubrique, a 17,000-strong village in the province of Cádiz, pride themselves on a leather industry dating back to the 18th century.
Today a clutch of small manufacturers produce handbags, bearing famous logos, which are carried on the arms of fashionistas around the world.
The secret of their success is a commitment to quality above all.
Alejandro Oliva is co-owner and manager of handbag manufacturer El Potro.
Since I was a child I have been taught to care a lot about details, any detail, any seam, any well glued part, any well ironed thing, the leather well looked after, all these details that make the product one of high quality.
The towns' workshops, around one hundred mostly family-run firms employing an average of 40 workers, have managed to survive the economic crisis that hit Spain in the past decade and cheaper manufacturing costs offered by Chinese competitors.
In recent years the luxury brands have been returning to do business in Ubrique.
José David Romero is the co-owner and marketing director of Piel Fort, another leather manufacturer in the town.
He says that a good quality luxury handbag with a brand logo, is something consumers are prepared to splash out on.
I believe Ubrique has survived better than other similar places of other business for two reasons. First, the specialisation in premium and luxury products, where clients don't care much about price, what they want is a very well-manufactured product. And second, because handbags are considered the great luxury accessory for women's fashion. Fashion has democratised itself and many articles can be bought for very different prices, but the handbag is the great symbol of luxury.
Juan Enrique Gutiérrez, is Head of Leather Companies' Association ByPiel and Director of the Professional Training School, which trains up local people to be the next generation of artisans.
Company leaders decided to create a professional training school. It didn't exist in the past. In the past, workers were trained at the workshops, inside the factories, he says.
Julián Izquierdo, the director of the clothing sector at ICEX (Spain's public institute in charge of promoting foreign trade) says that at the turn of the century many luxury clients abandoned Ubrique's firms to seek more lucrative deals in China.
But he says the trend started reversing around five years ago and the clients came back.
Around 2003 there's an enormous crisis. The crisis particularly affected Ubrique. Ubrique is a place which was specialised in high-end leather manufacturing for the best luxury brands worldwide. When these decided to go produce in China, it provoked a big crisis.
The owners of the firms in Ubrique are reluctant to give the names of their clients – they sign non-disclosure agreements with them - but Izquierdo is clear that Ubrique is the most important and prestigious leather manufacturing cluster in Spain, and second only to Italy's Tosacana in the high-end niche worldwide.
Izquierdo says Louis Vutton handbags are made in the town, but Louis Vutton's PR team declined to confirm this.
Exports of leather manufactures from the province of Cádiz increased more than threefold from 2009 to 2015, according to ICEX.
Urbique workshops offer cheaper labour costs, some of the workers earn Spain's minimum wage of 707 Euros per month, others can earn 1,506 euros per month.
