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!!

Thanks a lot for info, Debby.
It is very kind of you....

As I understood they sell not only new stock from factories, but also old stock (old season collections)? What is the best time to go there? When do they have the best discounts? Is it June or July? Or do they have discounts the whole year?


You also mentioned one outlet in the Hinterland. What is the name of that outlet?
Do you know if in outlets, which you mentioned in your post above, they sell good quality clothes? Are they as expensive as in the normal shops? Can you give me some price indications, please? For example for Prada and D&G clothes?
I am asking it, because yesterday I went to Big outlet in Roermond, it is in the Netherlands. That Outlets belongs to the chain of Mc Arthur Glen.
And the clothes which I saw there were really terrible..... And prices so high..... For example, for a very man's shirt in D&G outlet they asked EUR150-200 euro., for a simple trenchcoat in another Outlet they asked EUR350. And that trenchcoat was really very simple.....

It seemed to me that the price which they put in Outlet is almost the same as in normal shops....
