Before you start.

A quote with every cost.

Your monthly fee depends on the space you occupy. Pickup and redelivery are charged separately: your quote shows the costs before you book.

The answers you need

I live near the Manifattura: do you go there too?

Yes, we collect all over Florence and the province, including the streets around via delle Cascine. Enter your address in the quote: you'll see the free dates and the pickup price right away.

Can I leave my sewing machine?

Yes, if it works and is in good condition: electrical appliances can be stored unplugged and clean. Put it in its case or a padded box, and flag it as fragile at pickup.

I'm only here for one year: do I have to commit for the whole year?

No. Storage runs month by month and ends when you book the redelivery. There's a minimum commitment only if you choose the length discount, and then you decide how many months.

How is the price made up?

You pay a monthly rate for the square meters you take up — the scale starts at 1 m² and the rate is fixed per size — plus a one-off pickup and transport charge at the start. Redelivery is booked when you need it and paid for then. The online quote shows you the rate and the pickup before you confirm.

More questions

How far in advance should I book?

For high-season pickup (June-July), at least 2-3 weeks ahead. For the rest of the year, 3-5 days is enough. A booked pickup isn't cancelled, but the date can be moved: the first move carries no penalty, with at least 48 hours' notice, and if the new day costs more you only pay the difference.

How much space do I need?

Rates by floor space

One size per square meter, from 1 to 30 m²: pick the closest to what you need, the quote gives you the exact monthly rate.

Service and local detailsStudents sitting at a table in the library, surrounded by books and laptops.

Smoves collects boxes, clothes, fabric and collection materials from your home anywhere in the province of Florence and keeps them in the warehouse month by month. You pay a rate for the square meters you take up, plus a one-off pickup. You book the redelivery yourself, when you know where you'll live.

What's left in the room at the end of the year when you study fashion?

Polimoda has two sites in Florence. Villa Favard, on via Curtatone in the historic center, houses offices, the library and classrooms; the Manifattura, on via delle Cascine inside the former Manifattura Tabacchi, is the lab campus: design, accessories, leather goods, knitwear, tailoring, photo studios.

Students here don't just pile up books. They pile up fittings, samples, offcuts, patterns, the mannequin bought in the second month. In June all of it has to leave a rented room, and your collection blew through the checked-bag weight limit back in November.

We collect from apartments and shared rooms across the province, and the redelivery goes to wherever you live next. Who we are is in about us; for a delicate garment or material, write to us before pickup.

Where we collect around Polimoda

The school's two sites, and what changes for a pickup.

  • Villa Campus — Villa Favard

    Via Curtatone 1 · Centro storico area

  • Manifattura Campus — ex Manifattura Tabacchi

    Via delle Cascine 35 · Cascine area

  • Two sites, two neighborhoods

    Villa Favard is in the historic center, the Manifattura on via delle Cascine. The pickup, though, happens at your home, wherever you live in the province.

  • Near Villa Favard there's the ZTL

    If you live in the historic center, put the street in the quote notes: access gets sorted before pickup day.

  • A one-year course, storage for as long as you need

    The rate is paid month by month: a year-long course doesn't tie you to a year of storage.

Can I leave collection pieces and rolls of fabric?

Yes: clothes, fabric, patterns, samples and mannequins can all be stored. Delicate garments need careful packing and should be flagged at pickup. Valuables and original artworks stay out: for a piece you really care about, message us in the chat before we come.

I'm going back to my home country after the course: what about what's left?

It stays in storage, month by month, until you decide. If the new address is in the province of Florence, you book the redelivery from your account. If it's in another city or abroad, it's a shipment: ask us in writing and we send you a quote.
