Milan may stage elaborate runway shows to showcase its luxe ready-to-wear, but business-wise, it's largely an accessories town. Italy is famously home to generations of the world's most skilled shoe and leather goods manufacturers, as well as the biggest eyewear licensors. The clothing may take center stage at the shows, but it's the shoes, sunglasses and handbags that shoppers are actually buying.
