Outlets in Italy

For many people, Italy is synonymous with the word fashion. Therefore, it is very logical to plan a little shopping for the duration of your trip. However, given the high exchange rate of the euro and, often, far from sparing prices in the stores of famous Italian designers, you rarely manage to return home hung up with purchases, unless, of course, you travel with a solid budget. Most Italians try not to buy branded items in expensive branded stores in Milan or Rome ... And you, in fact, can avoid this.

It may seem to some that outlet shopping - It’s not very Italian, but Italians, like all mortals, want to look good without spending a fortune on it. Moreover, Italians can hardly be called a wasteful nation, and therefore they are still those hunters for discounts. Therefore, following the example of the locals when it comes to shopping, can be a very reasonable solution.

So, if you decide on shopping in Italy outlets, you will obviously have several possible strategies. In cities such as Milan (where women spend crazy amounts of money annually to update their wardrobe and where, in fact, most Italian fashion houses have their own branded stores) branded outletsin which things of the previous season are sold at crazy discounts. Here, it is still not uncommon to see 100 euros on the price tag, but given that the same item was sold in a company store at a price of 800, the benefit is obvious.

Another strategy for outlet shopping in Italy is to go to a special Outlet mall. As a rule, the latter are located outside large cities and, sometimes, it is very difficult to reach them without a car. Nevertheless, if you brought a huge suitcase with you in order to fill it with purchases, and are not ready to pay the full cost - renting a car for an outlet trip has every chance to pay for itself.

The next obstacle is, in fact, finding the right ones. designer outlets depending on your preferences and the region in which you travel. This is far from as simple as it might seem at first glance.

In order to somehow simplify the search task, we picked up several online resources where you can find Italy Outlet List. Some of them are only in Italian, others require a paid registration to get access to the list of outlets, while others are not very complete or slightly outdated. However, it is possible that these difficulties will even more allow you to feel the hunting spirit, and if you go through all the obstacles and get a “treasure map”, this will make the acquired things much more desirable and valuable in your eyes.

Factory Outlets Italy - This website is famous for its rich outlet base throughout Italy. According to the creators of the database, it contains information on more than 2200 outlets. Its only negative is the need to pay a registration fee of 24 Euros (valid for 1 year) in order to gain access to all information. But even without paying a fee, some information is available free of charge.

Italy Factory Outlet is a specialized site also offering to share the base of Italy outlets. As the developers promise, for a fee of 10 euros they will open access to the database, including information on how to get to the outlets and their working hours. Also on the site you can order a tour of outlets for a separate price.

Outlet Centers Info - This website is entirely in Italian, but its navigation is conveniently broken down by region. Thus, knowing the area in which you are traveling, it is very easy to get a list of store addresses. Besides the fact that the site is in Italian, another drawback is the lack of information on how to get to a particular store. Therefore, you will have to look for a way how to get to the desired address yourself.

Ciao Darling Factory Outlet Shopping - apparently, the guy who made this list set out to be in full view of all outlet visitors, and when you open the site, you will see for yourself. Admittedly, he did an excellent job collecting information on the most popular outlets in Italy (although the list is far from complete). Also on the site it is painted how to get to a particular outlet, which makes it even more practical.

Designer Outlets in Italy - The Italofile website has another short list of outlets that once appeared in the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. Although the list is far from complete, it can nevertheless be a good starting point for outlet shopping in some regions of Italy.
