Thanks so much Jamie!

Yeah, I've done the whole tuscany outlet..

I think I will check them, I probably wont have to wrestle a truckload of tourists in the Ancona and Montegranaro SPACE's which should improve my chances of finding a good bargain!

 

[JamieCD]

btw ya went to the bulgari outlet in roma?
a real good one:-P

 

[Hanne]

No I can't say that I have... We'll probably not have time to visit Rome this time around..

The trip is more than likely going to be partly an agricultura holiday to please my 2 year old, combined with lots of stops at wineries in Veneto.. (filling the car with wine to keep the hubby happy) and whatever shopping I can hit in between Veneto and Abruzzo..

 

[JamieCD]

Veneto has good olive oil too:-P
Btw i will try to get soem addressof rayban outlet there for you if you like.
they have some diesel shop there i think ya know them:-P

 

[Hanne]

Good to know - I'll keep the olive oil in mind Jamie!

Do you happen to know the addresses to any Bottega Veneta, Marni and Belstaff outlets?

 

[JamieCD]

Belstaff outlets in mogliano Veneto (tv) is illegal or they sold faked stuffs..
actually i have some new but i need to arrange them then i will write to you.

thw two are:

BARBERINO DI MUGELLO (FI)
Via Meucci, località Scopicci
Tel. 055-842161

its ont he way from Bologna to Firenze!

TRENTO (TN)
Via Garda, 1
c/o CENTRO SARCHE
Tel. 0461-565020

(in Bozen when ya drive from DK-Berlin München then Bozen-trento)

btw,Belstaff is fantastic.. i think they will be very successful like D&G or Lanvin!!!

they stock marni too ca 50% cheaper.. just check out if you have time...



dunno if ya know the Etro outlet in milan.. is great too

and the other place is the mall

 

[Hanne]

Will do.. Marni sounds deep deep undercoverish with the unmarked building and the walkway in the back.. Good thing I'll be going in June..

 

[Hanne]

Oh..both Marni outlets are in Milan... I think the chances of me going to Milan this summer are very slim.. Milan last summer was not a big hit with my 2 year old.. so we're avoiding the big cities this summer.. I'll save the address tho' never know when I might be going with my girlfriends instead..

Take care

 

[*k.a.t.e*]

Is it true that cosmetics (Armani, Dior, Chanel etc) and perfume are cheaper in Italy?

 

[JamieCD]

i dont think so.. they ahve same global price actually But one thing I can be sure they the italian have sales so it is actually very cheap!!!

you can get dior homme Tshirt for 70€+ in Italy but it is forbidden in most of DH stores to do that!!!

Btw there are some stores inParis they do that too:-P but only ca 20% cheaper

 

[cric-croc]

I am going to Rome at the end of May- do you have any tips on vintage shopping there?
also, do you think it would be ok to get on a train and go to the Mall outside Florence for one day only? the journay to Florence should be approx 1.30h plus transfer to the outlet will be another 3om - do you think it would be worth it? is the mall the best place to go cheap designer shopping in italy?
thanks

 

[JamieCD]

I dotn get ypur point here!!!
You are in rome? to get to florence ya can only get Es/IC and it takes at least 2 hours to go to montervarchi or rignano.

there are several outlets there
D&G, dolce&Gabbana,the mall, prada, roberto cavalli,loewe/celine ect

so depends.. but if you only need prada and the mall 1 day s ok...
