Outlet Shopping: Is it More Dash than Cash?

Author and lifestyle journalist and long time Milan expat, Roberta Kedzierski shares her experience and let’s us in on a few of her favorite secret outlet shopping spots near Milan. Drawing from her extensive experience and profound knowledge of Milan, she reveals some of her favorite, lesser-known outlet shopping spots around the city. Her invaluable insights offer a unique opportunity for those looking to explore Milan’s shopping scene beyond the mainstream retail outlets, promising an authentic and rewarding experience.

Salvagente

“When it comes to designer outlets, everyone has their favourites, I guess, where they find the things they like at a price they like. Some people swear by Viale Papiniano market on a Saturday but I hate that kind of crowd scene and, to be honest, have never found the stalls in question. I am told they are at the Sant’Agostino end. If nothing else, the metro station is right there (Sant’Agostino, in case you needed telling) and so one could swoop in and out again.”

“My favourite outlet in Milan is Salvagente, which means “life-saver” in Italian, and is at 16, Via Bronzetti (tel: 02 76110328, http://www.salvagentemilano.it), she shares. As well as offerings from Prada, Armani, Alberta Ferretti and other top names, there are keenly-priced boutique-level clothes, including trousers, skirts, dresses, and sweaters. Also handbags, shoes, belts, and scarves. “Milan is the one of the four fashion capitals of the world, and that includes accessories, specifically jewelry and handbags,” according to Ben Schreiber of Latico Leathers. “You simply won’t find another city in the world with a better selection of luxury accessories.” Ben loves browsing the small men’s department at Salvagente. 

The end-of-season sales (end December and early-July) are great: 20% or 30% discount rising to 50% or 60% off until everything is cleared. You can spend the equivalent of $50 and come out with three or four items. To get to Salvagente, take the 60 bus. This links the Duomo with the central Station, and vice-versa of course. Get off in Via Bronzetti at the stop nearest the corner with Via Archimede. Finding the place can pose a bit of a challenge. If you are coming from the direction of the station, just after the bus-shelter, and before you reach the hairdressers, you will see a green iron gate with a bronze sign on it that says (surprise, surprise) Salvagente. This tells you that the place is open 10.00-12.30, and then 15.00-19.00 on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. On Wednesdays and Saturdays, you can shop right the way through from 10.00 to 19.00. As with many stores in Italy, Salvagente is closed Sunday and Monday morning. Note that they take cash only. Don’t despair, there is an ATM at the bank after the aforementioned hairdressers, on the corner with Via Archimede.

I recently picked up La Guida agli Spacci by one Marina Martorana. Published by Sperling paperback, and available in Italian only, this is the third annual edition and costs 9.80 euro. It’s not by any means great. Listings are by region. So, for example, you have to know that the Prada outlet is in Tuscany. But then, it is listed not under “abbigliamento” (apparel) but under “pelletteria” (leather goods). Worse, not under the P-word, but as IPI. Which is great if you know that the company’s other name is I Pellettieri d’Italia. But otherwise?
