There are plenty of streets to shop in Rome.
Alot of them, like Via Condotti (near the Spanish Steps) are way out of the average travellers price range.
In other areas, such as along Via del Corso, you will find more middle of the road style shops which are perfect for when you feel the need for some retail therapy.
Just remember that a lot of shops close for a couple of hours early afternoon.....this gives you the perfect excuse for a long lunch and a glass of wine or two!
Depends on which country you are coming from - not too bad on the USD or GBP, but if you are on the AUD - ouch!! Leave a Comment

This is one of the outlets in Roma, to tell the truth, it is out of it:)))
This outlet is called "The Castle Romano outlet"
I suppose, that in every hotel, there is an info, regarding it,
but dont pay attention to the advise of people working on the reception desk, not to go there cos of the price is the similar to the centre of Rome.
The prices in the centre of Roma are much higher, really, belive me:)))) then in this outlet
http://castelromano.mcarthurglen.it/index.php?lang=en
It is very easy to go there by a public transport, but...........believe me, it is more convenient to take a special bus , that costs 23Euro, it will take you from the hotel at 12.30 and will waiting for you near this Castel, untill 6pm. ( so if you are planning to buy a lot of things, it is the best way to do this).
The whole info about this bus you may ask on the reseption desk
The alternative is the public transport, it is very easy, but be prepare to spend much time for this:)))
to know how to reach this Castel by the public transport , please, send an e-mail http://castelromano.mcarthurglen.it/index.php?lang=en
and ask them how to reach thier outlet by the public transport:)))) thet will give you the perfect info.
But , dont forget to ask them HOW TO GO BACK ( because we didnt know this and had some problems:)
The prices there are really nice::)))))
There you can buy any clothes (for men, women, children)
Prices are lower then in Rome ( not taking to account the summer period)

As it's name suggests, its a discount store!! It is a reputable discount store in Rome that sells high end label goods at reduced prices. When you walk into the store, it is very much like a shop. Clothing, shoes, and accessories are nicely displayed. Some of the accessories are behind glass cabinets and such (to deter theft I suppose). It is adequately lit and the staff are pleasant enough. However, in the true Italian shopping style, better dress to impress. The sales personnel can be a bit on the snobbish side.
You can buy anything that you want (or what it is that you can afford rather). They have all the big name labels, depending on what comes in. You can find Armani, Versace, Ferre, etc.
50% off retail or more depending Leave a Comment Theme: Discount StoreAddress: Via di Gesù e Maria 16APhone: 06-361-3796Directions: Near Spanish Steps; south of Piazza del Populo between Via del Corso and Via del Babuino. METRO: Flamino

In 1887 Rome (within the walls) had its first (and last) department store: it was a branch of a large firm of Milan: it was built using a modern technique based on a structure of iron bars which allowed large shop windows. In 1917 the department store chain was given a new name: "La Rinascente", almost a synonym of "il Rinascimento", the Italian word for the Renaissance.
The small size of the building is not comparable with the XIXth century department stores of other European cities.
Average prices - always variety - sale items Theme: Department StoreDirections: Palazzo "La Rinascente" opposite Palazzo Verospi

The clothing in Rome, even those designed, is less expensive than in the northern part of the country. Actually, some of my friends from Milano go to Rome twice a year in order to buy complete wardrobe they need.
Years ago it was used to say, "I am not that rich to buy a cheap clots", doest it worth today? Since am in the clothing business I could say it, definetely not, because cheap fabrics of low quality are used in the production of designed cloths too. But not only, the quality of production isn't of high level as it used to be. Those who buy such a cloths would never buy it if knowing where and in what conditions it was made.
Most of todays cloths worth for one season only, there are exceptions of course but am talking about cloths we wear every day.
The key question is, how much it cost? Well, you can buy one piece of cloth only and spent a fortune, on the other hand for the same amount of money you can fill up your closet, its up to you to make choice. Leave a Comment Theme: Women's Clothes

La Rinascente
La Rinascente is one of the most famous department stores in Italy and one of my favorite places to shop when I'm in Rome.
Usually I'll come to replenish my Princess Marcella Borghese face products and make-up. Yes, I am currently using this Italian brand and I must admit, I love their eye-mask best! Molto buono!
Shoes, Women's and Men's clothes, Cosmetics.... Household products, designer wear etc. They sell everything here!
Expect to pay department store prices and more (for designer products)...

My favorite boutiques in Rome are:
Salvatore Ferragamo at: Via de Condotti 73, Rome.
Ferragamo also have a smaller boutique right at the foot of the Spanish Steps. Their shoes are simply to-die for! And they are almost 40% to 50% cheaper than if you were to buy them in Asia! If I can't carry too many boxes of shoes back to Singapore, I'll get them to ship it instead. The sales assistants are friendly and if you buy a few pairs of shoes, they'll even give you a discount (that is, if you manage to charm them enough).
La Perla at: Via De Condotti 79, Rome
Wearing La Perla lingerie would make any woman feel sexy. But most importantly, it costs 40% cheaper to buy here vis-a-vis shopping in Asia (the worst country to shop in Asia is Japan. Everything is so expensive there!).
Missoni at: Via del Babuino 102, Rome
I love, love, love Missoni! And the boutique is conveniently located right across the Spanish Steps.
If you come from Asia (like me), most Italian designer clothings and shoes cost almost 50% more than what you would pay if you were to buy it in Italy. I am referring to big designer brands like Gucci, Ferragamo, Gianfranco Ferre, Gianni Versace et al.
So, if you ever see an Asian (Japanese or Chinese) shopping at Via Condotti or at Via Veneto like there is no tomorrow... you now know the reason why! ;-)
I usually bring along a half-filled luggage so that I can replenish most of my clothes and shoes when I'm in Italy.
Sometimes, my girlfriends give me a list of their shopping to do. That's fine for me. I don't mind shopping for them because I enjoy more discounts at these boutiques if I were to buy in bulk. Theme: Women's ClothesAddress: Via Condotti, Via Veneto... & Spanish Steps
