Milan shopping

[tott]

^ Sorry Hanne, but try the outlets; you never know...

In Milan you hardly notice there's a sale if you walk down Montenapoleone. They tend to have some sale stuff hidden away in a corner of an upper floor or something... It's like they're above the seedy reality of sales.

Faust, "easy milano" is a magazine for expats in Milan; they always have a map at the end of it. Not the greatest and most detailed, but you can download it in PDF format at http://www.easymilano.it/eng/index.php and see if it's enough for your needs. I kept a ring-bound Berlitz (?) "pocket book" map in my bag when I was living there, you can buy it at a stall by Duomo, or anywhere I guess, for 6 € or something.

Ok, after driving in Milan, I can now honestly say, that there is on such thing as easymilano, ok?!

Any outlet worth going to thats reachable with train/metro/bus ?
We're bringing Storm...but not an autochair..

10 Corso Como has an outlet at Via Tazzoli 3, just a few minutes walk from the main store!

D Magazine at the end of Montenapoleone and Porta Genova (2 different shops, I've only ever been to Montenapoleone) http://www.dmagazine.it/

I figured part of my question ^ out myself 10 Corso Como has Chloe and Yohji

I don't recall anybody posting about the limited opening days for the 10 Corso Como outlet.. so when I was there on tuesday it was closed
and since I was out of town on friday, saturday and sunday I didn't get to see the outlet

Anyways the opening hours are:
friday 13-19
saturday + sunday 11-19

I've attached a little map of how to reach the outlet from 10 Corso Como since every milanese I asked sent me wandering the streets for way too long.. So if you plan on visiting - Print the map!!

Speaking of outlets I went to the D Magazine at the end of Montenapoleone 26 and didn't see anything of interest.. but since it's centrally located I'd waste a few minutes going through the selection..

Slightly better I'd consider Salvagente (via Fratelli Bronzetti 16) albeit unless you're living close by or staying in Milan for enough time to allow you to dabble I wouldn't bother.
I saw Marni, Dolce Gabbana, Burberry.. not much tho.. They were well into their end of season (end December/early July) sale when I had a look (40% off the allready reduced prices), but reductions go as high as 60%
To get there, 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.
The place is open 10.00-12.30, and then 15.00-19.00 on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. On Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10.00 to 19.00.
Salvagente is closed Sunday and Monday morning.
Note that they take cash only.

Prada stores are littered all over the golden shopping triangle, which is not the case with Miu Miu (Corso Venezia 3)

Paul Smith : Palazzo Gallarati Scotti - via Manzoni 30 (close by the Armani Megastore on via Manzoni 31)

I loved the Brera district
Shu Uemura is located there on via Brera 2
there is a fantastic perfumery further up (2 minutes before the Pinacoteca di Brera)

Hi!
I will go to Milano from Dec 29 to Jan 2.
I'm looking forward to see nice Italian shoes and clothes!!

But I'm too short... My height is 152cm and shoe size is 21.5cm(34 or 35cry:
probably I should go to kids' shop.
can anyone recommend me good, not too childish kids' clothes/shoes shop?

I like cheap stuff and antique.
is there flea market(such like portbello market in london) in Milano?

 

[kasippu]

Gusella in de Vit. Emanuele has nice clothes for children, they carry some nice brands which may look nice on adults (for high street I always like the zara children collection more than the ones for adults)

some italian brands do carry very small shoe sizes I think prada has some 34. I know there is a shop on the corner of corso buenos aires and viale tunesia (next to a Mcdo) that start from 33 but I do not know what kind of shoes they have. In brera there is another shop who start at a smaller shoe size but I forgot the name. Its when you on ponte vetero going towards brera.

but I do not think you are that small my friend is certainly not taller than you and she shops for normal clothes only pants can be a problem because in milan the shops do carry some small sizes

 

[cocoonchild]

grazie, kasippu!
it seems not difficult that i find my size.
I'll try to go to shop you said.
I can't wait! milan!

[OnHighHeels]

When do the sales start in Milan?

I'm interested mostly in Prada and Miu Miu.

 

[aris]

I'll be in Milan on 11th of Jan. When the sale starts, last year was the first week of January. Somebody here said 20 of Jan is that so?
