Florence Mall

Outlet Villages for Designer Goods at Stock Prices

A Florence Mall where you can find designer labels for less can be found just 40 minutes from downtown Florence.

It's called - get ready for the original name - The Mall!

Thr Mall is not an indoor shopping center as the name might imply, but a small outlet village with lovely pastel colored shops full of lovely top name designer clothes, shoes and bags.

Oh, and this brand name stuff costs a heck of a lot less than if you were to buy it at regular retail stores.

That's probably why you've heard so much talk about this Florence mall!

Who wouldn't rave about getting a Gucci or Fendi bag for literally hundreds of Euros less than what they normally go for?

See the black sign below with The Mall's logo?

Remember it, because in Florence you're gonna notice tons of people with big shopping bags with this logo.

But The Mall isn't the only Florence mall offering discount prices on designer goods.

The Barberino Designer Outlet is a much bigger complex just to the north of Florence.

Another Florence Mall is the Barberino Outlet which has over 100 stores and offers discounts of up to 70% less than non-outlet prices.

However, this shopping village is probably most famous for having the two outlet shops of the celebrated Italian designers Prada and Dolce & Gabbana.

Or do you prefer the playful boldness of Dolce & Gabbana?

Whether it's the former or the latter (or both!) the Florence mall in Barberino is the place to go satisfy your Prada or D&G cravings.

The Barberino outlet is about a half hour car ride from Florence and has a convenient shuttle bus service from the Santa Maria Novella station are (see details below).
