Many people, having heard the word "Italy", immediately imagine fashion shops, famous couturiers and fashion models defiling on the catwalk. After all, this country is the capital of world fashion, therefore, having chosen here on vacation, it is worth devoting some time to shopping. But the prices in the local company stores, to put it mildly, “bite”. Tourists, and Italians themselves, most often enter them only in order to admire the new collections. And since the population of this state is not a wasteful people, outlets in Italy are popular among its representatives. Yes, and travelers will like such establishments: the prices are low, branded goods, which means that they are of high quality, the service is excellent, but the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.
What is how much
Before you go shopping, you should study the prices in the outlets of Italy in order to know what you can count on and how much money to take with you. The cost of branded clothing and accessories in such institutions is an order of magnitude lower than in branded retail outlets. Some stores sell items at 80-90% discount. Well, if you go shopping in the sales season, you can save more than one hundred euros. In Italy, the largest sales are arranged twice a year: in winter from the second to fifth of January until February 15 - March 31. And in the summer: they begin on the first Saturday of the last summer month and continue until the end of the month or until the end of September. It all depends on each individual city.
During seasonal sales, outlets in Italy subtract another 30-40% from the available discounts. Well, not during the “sales” period, prices in such stores are approximately the same: jeans from Armani can be purchased for 80 euros, and if they were created by the Trussardi trading house, they will cost 60-70 euros. For boots Fratelli Rossetti will need to pay from 150 € to 250 €. And for boots made by the Baldinini trademark, you will pay only 100-150 €.
An Armani jacket in the outlet will cost 120 euros, and bags from Furla can be bought for 110-150 euros. From the prices quoted, it can be concluded that Italian outlets are really profitable, economical and prestigious.
