EVERYONE loves elegance During a honeymoon trip, Bettina Weber fell in love with Italy and its many specialty products. She began importing various items and her South London store, Boutique Firenze, has become the place to go for Italian lambskin gloves. There are silk, linen, cashmere and acrylic scarves for men and women. Italy’s fine jewellery and Murano glass are showcased, as well as stationary, soaps and toiletries. Boutique Firenze is also proudly Canadian with accessories and giftware, fashioned by artisans from the London region and across the country. There is also a large selection designed by First Nations artists.
