When you want to do some great shopping in Florence at bargain prices, then you must go to The Mall, a designer outlet located in Leccio, a town outside of Florence. YOu can go there by bus or car. The bus ride took about 1 hour and it went through some of the most scenic areas of Tuscany's villages.

The bus fare is 2.50€ one-way. There are shopping tours available and they can take you there but they will cost more.

What to buy: Major designer products at bargain prices! You can get items at 30% - 50% less than retail outlets anywhere in major cities.

On sale are designer goods from Armani Jeans (AJ), Fendi, Burberry, Pucci, Gucci, Salvatore Ferragamo, Sergio Rossi, La Perla, Alexander McQueen, Tod's, Yves Saint Laurent, Emanuel Ungaro, Ermenegildo Zegna, Bottega Veneta, Emporio Armani, Valentino, and I Pinco Pallino.


What to pay: You can get items at 30% - 50% less than retail outlets anywhere in major cities. For example, my sister bought a beautiful white shirt from Armani-Jeans for Euro 30. For a pair of leather loafter shoes from Ferragamo, I paid Euro 140 -> more than 50% less than in any shoe boutiques outside!

Deep discounts on designer labels. I bought a pair of Salvatorre Ferragamo shoes for 105 euros.

Getting there: Save some money and hassle by taking the SITA bus. The station is one block from the S.M.N. Train Station in Florence. It's 3.50 euro one way. The bus takes you directly to the outlet mall. No need to worry about trains and taxi cabs. And save some money on fare. The ride is about 45 minutes.

The Mall, 45 min out of Florence in the hills of Tuscany, is an area where you will find designer retail outlets that sell off-season clothes, shoes, bags, etc for less than retail. I found a few pair of items for at least 50% off from what I would pay for where I live.

To get here, you can take the Sita bus (blue) with the sign "The Mall" or "Leccio" at the depot near the train station and buses leave from Monday to Saturdays at certain hours so you should plan your time in case you miss the last bus back to Florence. Preferably, you should leave in the morning or on the first bus out. The bus fare is 2.50€ one-way

There are some outlet shopping tours available and they can take you to other designer outlets as well, e.g Prada but they will cost more

What to buy: This is the real deal! You can buy apparels from Gucci, Ferragamo, Fendi, La Perla, Burberry, Armani, to name a few

What to pay: Expect to pay 30%-50% less than you would in town

Went to the MALL in mid may...it's best to go before the weekend for better selection. We went on a Thursday, where I managed to find a nice Gucci purse for 180 euros, which retails in the stores for 460 euros and on the US Gucci website for $695 - yes, I checked. There was a wide range of nice bags to choose from that day. We went back on the Tuesday following and all the good stuff was gone. Fendi had a sale on sunglasses...my mom and I both got a pair for 40 euros each...they retailed for 180euros in the stores.

And the Dot.com cafe has really good grilled panini sandwiches and pizzas. It's a nice atmosphere as well.

To reach THE MALL by train from Florence, take the train from Maria Santa Novella station direction Borgo San Lorenzo (regional). Your destination is NOT Sieci BUT Rignano. From Rignano you can get a taxi (max price ~10 EURO). It's just 5 min to the mall.

The mall is in Incisa. You can find all the best fashion designer stores there. There are
GUCCI, FENDI, ARMANI, ERMENEGILDO ZEGNA, HUGO BOSS, LA PERLA, VALENTINO, YVES SAINT LAURENT and others.

What to buy: You can buy shoes, bags, sunglasses, wallets, foulards and many many other things at an outlet price
