Fashion Trends & Tours in Italy

By commenting the Washington Post article, “Designs on Italy“, where PrimeItaly.com was suggested as a valued source for those traveling to Italy for shopping branded fashion items, we’d like to add some details.

As it was said, in our Italy Travel Tips section, travelers asking us for advice when planning travel to Italy for shopping, fall into 2 basic categories.
And of course, based on that, we customize our assistance.

1 - Mass shopping.
Shoppers asking us for designer outlets or factory outlets where they can shop designer items saving up to 30% average (maybe you can save up more, but the items often are from the last year inventory)
2 - Custom shopping.
More sophisticated shoppers visiting off-the-beaten path outlets, manufacturers, artisans and designers’ studios and looking for shopping high quality unique items at bargain prices.
Sometimes the items are unbranded, hand made by high couture artisans; one would find such stuff in top luxury shops only.
As an example of deep customization, sometimes you might have the option to order unique items — mainly cotton/wool sweaters, that seasoned high couture fashion artisans would build and customize according to your needs.

These travelers enjoy of an unique experience, by pairing the shopping of unique items at bargain price with learning secrets of the culture of fashion and design in Italy

And you? In which shopping traveler category do you fall into? Let’s know. We’ll provide you any advice you need.
