Fashion has moved on and the secondary market for that stuff is saturated. Stores like that are not viable anymore, unfortunately.

Yes, very sad news. No Guya or PNP in Florence anymore is a big hit to fashion here. Also, I should note that before the website shut down there was a big clearance sale including popular products, like all Guidi at 50% off. They haven't made an announcement or anything but all the signs are there.
Very true and sad point about the viability of these niche stores today, especially with current travel restrictions. People are filling their fashion desires through online shopping, at least for now.
Hey, we'll always have Luisa Via Roma! Literally, the worst store on the planet...

I wonder why ? PNP was successful as dark fashion theater for years in addition to extremely helpful customer service ,no reason for PNP to went out of business ,really wonder why pnp closed ??
My theory is that the growing Grailed crowd is slowly killing off actual locations related to niche fashion. When you can experience and fawn over 2000 Euro boots through a phone screen, the physical seller matters less. Values have changed and there is no longer a need to plan a trip and experience the physical store.
Also, you know, the pandemic. Italy has been feeling its effects longer than other European countries.
The Reinhardt Planck store in Florence has been closed for at least a month or two now. The little space on Via dei Serragli has been fully emptied and all that's left is the name on the entrance door.
Any travel tips for Venice would be much appreciated. I'm staying around San Polo area and it's a 3 day trip. I took note of some previous recommendations in this section but I'm assuming with Covid a lot of them might be out of date ?
I went to Venice this summer. I honestly don't remember a thing aside from the Biennale, though I was not there for very long. I loved Treviso though, it is an hour away by train from Venice Santa Lucia. I highly recommend it if you have the time and have never been. Go to Après Paris and Lazzari if shopping.
Thank you. I will add it to my list.
