I recommend Papini Leather located near the Ponte Vecchio. I’ve shopped there for years. Excellent quality!

I agree: The leather school near Santa Croce can't be beat.

I, too, love the Scuola Del Cuoio (behind Santa Croce), and I bought a very special custom purse there. I also purchased a great leather jacket at Le Pelle https://www.lapellesrl.it/en/ This sweet little shop is right across the Ponte Vecchio in Oltrarno.

Just FYI: Right around the corner from La Pelle you’ll find Le Volpi e l'Uva, a lovely little wine bar where you can ‘rest’ after exploring the wonders of Florence.

We also shopped at the school at Santa Croce. I purchased a great navy blue belt and was sorry I didn’t get a black one also.
If you go there for a belt, they size it for you and add extra holes. Just ask.
I’ve gotten many compliments when I wear it.
