In LOMBARDY

MILAN
Milan, Italy's fashion capital, offers a particularly rich choice in factory outlets and stock houses. They are either dispersed throughout the city or just beyond its limits, and are usually not in walking distance of one another. Every brand, from Gucci to Armani to Ferrè, is grandly represented. A definitely good exchange: enormous savings for people with some time on their travel schedule.
Milan's Best Kept Shopping Secrets
Finding bargains without compromising quality has never been more accessible in the city of fashion. In the 90s factory outlets and stock houses gained popularity and began springing up in and around Milan. Today, these outlets are often centrally located, easy to find, and offer merchandise to please most tastes at irresistible prices sure to please everyone.

Unlike the traditional shopping district in Milan where designer boutiques are conveniently located side by side in an exclusive area of the city center, Milan's stock houses are either dispersed throughout the city or just beyond its limits, and are usually not in walking distance of one another. Nevertheless, while some are located on the outskirts of the city, several are surprisingly interspersed in the traditional shopping districts of the city and can be easily reached without a car. We recommend setting at least one day aside for outlet hopping where customers enjoy an average of 30-60% off retail prices.
