My daughter went wild over these when I gave them to her yesterday. Got a bathing suit 90 dollars, beach flip flops 30 dollars which all had the d and b name. Found cotton scooped short sleeve shirts with dand b on the back for 19 euros and long sleeved for 23 euros. Some beautiful clothes whose prices were beyond me although could get shoes for less than 200. Traveled on to the Dolce e Gabbana outlet in Pian dell Isola. Other outlets there but I didn't have the time. Gucci loafers around 150 US think it would be much more here.Īrmani had some cheaper items. Gucci was very extensive, shoes, sunglasses, etc. Got a bikini for around 80 or 90 US and tshirt for around 20. Some very elegant, model type clothes but not everything.Īrmani had a odds and ends box and a womans sale going on. Many jackets skirts for hundreds which looked like they would sell for double. They listed for 20 Euros but doubt you could buy in US. Got some cotton square scarf which said Fendi on them-worth probably 5 US without the Fendi marking but at 11 Euros (15 US) were a bargain-on my return home, my daughter went crazy over these. ![]() Got a beautiful silk scarf the size of a shawl in Fendi for 70 Euros about 100 US which listed for 175 Euros. Most items were hundreds of dollars but probably would sell for double. Very understated, elegant stores-bargains for the very very wealthy. Traveled up to a place called the Mall in Leccio Reggello outside of Florence. ![]() Just before we were headed out to see some more castles, saw the section marked outlets in the concierge's book. Just returned from a few days in Tuscany. The boutique is essentially shifting its own line which is of inferior quality in design and materials ( not necessarily workmanship) NO END OF LINE, OR LAST SEASON OR DEFECTIVE, very boring experience not recommended Women may find some items to their liking, however for men steer clear. Mixture of cheap feeling leathers, low threadcount gg fabric and that crystal gg as mentioned previouslyĤ) Horrible colours produced for the outlet ( mens gg fabric wallets in pinky colour, rusty brown and a green tint, awful.Ĥ) Cheap simple workmanship, you will see all mens wallets have a simple cut out space for the cards as opposed to a stitched slot (saving time during production) The leathers that are used are also of a cheaper quality.feel for yourself. Shoes are limited in design and quality, no leather soles, just cheap foam, similar to the rubbish Gucci makes for DSW in US.Ģ) Shiny coated gg fabric material (crystal) is used for a lot of the tote bags and isnt available in the boutiques.ģ) Gucci signature materials such as imprime and gg plus arent present, in there place are a Saw a belt in about 7 colours, numbering about 100 pieces in different sizes but little else for belts. You can see a lot of these obscure pieces on ebay from 'hottercooler' some even showing the extra G, Hottercooler appears to buy from a US outlet and has much the same line as to be expected at the florence outlet. This outlet is awful for the reasons belowġ) almost all the items are produced especially for the outlet, and feature an extra G stamped near the logo to signify its an outlet piece. Owning over 80 gucci items (male) i could consider myself fairly well informed on what should be expected. Check out their web site for a list of stores. There are many designer stores in this outside mall. ![]() Prices are about 50% to 70% less than regular retail. Most items for sale are past season with limited sizes. On the top floor there is a cafe with a good selection of food and beverages. ![]() Clothing on the main floor, women’s on the left and men’s on the right with hand bags in the front of the store. Both men’s and women’s shoes on the bottom floor. I am a fan of Gucci and found several pair of shoes, belt and polo shirt. You will have about 3 hours for shopping. There will be a line to get into the Gucci store but you will wait about 10 minutes. You have to call for a taxi (10 minutes) to get to The Mall from the train station. You can purchase and pay for your train ticket on line. I was on a cruise (I have previously toured Florence) and took a train from Livorno to Florence, changed trains in Florence for the half hour train trip to Reggello, the train station is a short distance to The Mall. If you like designer shopping this is a must.
