When we stumbled upon Il Gancio, a 30-year-old artisan shop in between the Corso and Pantheon, this lady leathersmith was hard at work on a fabulous skinny belt. Antonella is the owner and she makes everything on site with an espresso close at hand. The tannery was chock full of buttery-soft leather bags, bracelets, wallets, journals, valets and other gorgeous goods. Let's just say we didn't leave empty-handed.
