NOT IN USE Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 im not a girl but been to italy alot, so im qualified......Milan is the best....stay away from tourist traps like the city center.....Florence has a huge Prada outlet in the next town over, I can't remember the name, ask the conceirge at the hotel.....I went to the armani store in Italy, prices are alright because you can get the tax back by mail....and at the time I went the exchange rate favored the dollar....so just on currency i was getting 20% off...

There are a few things in town... I personally liked some of the stuff at Motivi right near the Duomo, the problem is that anything you buy near the duomo will automatically have a hugely inflated price tags...if you're there on a tuesday hit up parco delle cascine and prepare to have a lot of patience - you have to pick a lot but they have some cool stuff in there.BTW I AM SOOOOO JEALOUS OF YOU!!! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orisha Posted September 26 Report Share Posted September 26 it's ok, I never did look at the book my dad laboriously studied every morning LOL, it's kind of sad, because my parents have been to Italy twice in one year, and are speaking basic italian already. I really depended on them for almost all communication beyond hi, bye, and where is the bathroom! LOL. I think i said the latter the most, about shopping in italy, the leather is UNbelieveable, and very affordable. Everyone in Italy wears these pointy shoes everwhere, so I picked up some suitable for work, but they need to be broken in..I still have blisters Actually I prefered to spend my $$ on artwork (my avatar is from Venice, and is on my wall), and Murano Glass. The glass jewelry I couldn't get enough of, so pretty! my .02 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystify Posted October 2 Author Report Share Posted October 2 Thanks girls for your suggestions!I just got back last night.....I don't even know where to start. The shopping there was everything I had hoped it would be Rome was filled with great boutiques and tons of high end designer stores - but the prices are so much better over there, plus if you spend more than 150 in one store in one day you get a tax refund back!Venice and Florence also had great stores, plus leather goods galore.....purses, wallets, jackets, bags, etc!Among many other things.....my favorite purchase is a Prada purse :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
