Maybe you know there are some stores (like factory outlets) where all unsold clothes for previous collections are being collected from different shops and moved there. For example, unsold collections of famous brends like D&G, Prada, Gucci, etc....
In such stores such clothes normally are very very cheap, since they are from previous collections and are being sold under hugh discounts (more that 50-70%).
Do you know how to call such stores and where in Milan (or in Milan area) I can find some of them?

I read some info in internet about factory outlets (like D&G outlet in Florence or Outlet in Fox Town in Switzerland), but it seem to me that in those outlets a new collections are being sold, and prices are still high. And I need old collections with a very cheap price....

I hope that you can help me....

Hi Gul!!
The places you mean are the factory outlets (we call them only outlet) and in Milan area (or near at least) there are a lot of them, I know very well some of them 'cause sometimes me and my friends go there for shopping

Well, in Milano city there are no big outlets, the best of them are in the hinterland, about 50/60km far from there (I live in Milan), and you can reach them by car.

The first and the biggest one I know is the Serravalle Outlet, the website says that the most important brands are: Asics, Rifle, Slam, Beauty Ventures, Benetton, Petit Bateau, Miroglio, Villeroy & Boch, Calzedonia, Frette, Marina Yachting, Henry Cotton's, Mandarina Duck, Pal Zileri, Samsonite, Cotton Belt, Calvin Klein, Guess, Sergio Tacchini, Levi's Strauss, Dockers, Diesel, Hammer, Stefanel, ****, Binda, Pinko, Rebecchi, Invicta, Diadora, Cacharel, Valextra, Saldarini, Genny, Trussardi, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana etc....

And then there is the Fidenza Village, you can find the website (it have the enghisl language too) in google clicking Fidenza Village, the first result.

You found high prices in the outlets in Flocence or Switzerland because "they are rich" and their prices are high for everything you will buy eheheh..

Let me know!!

Bye
Debby
