If you are looking designer items the best way is to go for the large designer outlets. They are large fashion malls including hundreds of stores featuring top designer brands all in one place. There, you can buy designer items at prices reduced from 30% to 70% all year round, but if you go there during the sales season you get even greater deals.
Designer outlets are located a few km away the city center. However it’s worth visiting them, you’ll save time and money.
Below links to a couple of these large fashion malls (see maps and how to get there).
“Castel Romano Designer Outlet” is located in the surroundings of Rome (15km away from city center); “Valdichiana Outlet Village” is a very handy one for those who are visiting Tuscany or Umbria.
