About Boutique Firenze

Boutique Firenze is a gift and flower boutique located in the Glen Cairn neighbourhood of London, Ontario. The shop serves local residents by offering a relaxed and personalized shopping experience for those seeking affordable and practical elegance. The store specializes in fine Italian goods, including hand-sewn lambskin gloves from Naples and colorful scarves from Florence made from silk, linen, cashmere blends, and acrylic. Their inventory also features a variety of Italian artisan products such as Murano glass, jewelry, Carnevale masks, woodblock prints, stationery, and Tuscan soaps and toiletries. Additionally, the boutique showcases unique Canadian artisan gifts, including products from First Nations artists, handblown glass from Fergus, gilded maple leaves from Waterloo, and accessories from local makers in London and the Pacific Northwest. The business was founded in 2009 by Bettina Weber and her husband, Len Elliott, following a life-changing trip to Italy. After years of selling products at fairs and as a pop-up shop in a training office, the couple opened their full-time brick-and-mortar boutique in 2017. Bettina Weber serves as the owner and principal buyer, personally selecting quality products from small and family-run businesses in Italy. The shop is supported by a team that includes a sales associate, a graphic designer, and a silent partner who assists with design and construction. Customers can visit the shop in person to browse the selection. The boutique accepts cash, Interac, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. They offer exchanges or store credit for most items within 14 days of purchase, though certain items like soaps, toiletries, face masks, earrings, and vintage pieces are final sale.
