Before coming to Salvagente, I heard you could buy really nice, well-known designer brands for…read moreREALLY cheap. Stuff like Moscino, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, etc. Clearly NOT! I guess the July sale began YESTERDAY, so all the good stuff got bought- either that, or, they just don't have a good selection in general. Spent about 2 hours rummaging through racks and racks of size 42/44 clothes, and found 1 nice black Velvet long sleeve dress, 1 sexy Fisico black summer dress, and 1 KAOS denim tight dress. Cute, but not the designer name brands I was looking for. If the sale only started yesterday, there should've still been SOME stuff... Ugh. Regardless, there was helpful staff and well-labeled racks, something that, as an avid thrift, vintage, and second-hand shopper, I am appreciative for.

This is one of my secrete (!) and absolutely favourite outlets in Milan. I was quite ambivalent as…read moreto whether I should share, but hey! - since it's you, I'll spill. Il Salvagente is one of the best design outlets, and it's completely within easy transportation reach in Milan. It's two floors of gorgeous Italian and international design, from the big brands such as Moschino, D&G, Max Mara and Celine to smaller local brands. You'll find everything from big gala dresses, amazing shoes, hats, bags, scarfs, shirts, skirts, casual wear, coats and jackets - there is also a decent mens section that Ulrik loves to ransack. Whenever I go to Corso Como, I spent at least 2-3 intense hours going through thousand pieces of clothes - I went a week ago and managed to buy the most beautiful Max Mara winter coat for just 315 euro and gorgeous wedges at a bargain price of 70 euros. Ulrik covered his entire winter sweater demand with just 350 euro! The place is large (not American large) and still, they've managed to squeeze in a lot of clothes and stuff in the space available. And the quality and selection is so good that I've never had the displeasure of walking out empty handed. I just love this place :-)

From the owner: In Milan’s historical city center, nestled in the 5 Vie…read moredistrict, Wait and See is a concept store unlike any other. Located in a former 18th-century convent, the space blends the warmth of a home with an eclectic, cosmopolitan sensibility. It’s a destination that invites pause and discovery — a place where browsing comes with a cup of coffee and a sense of wonder. Founded by Uberta Zambeletti, the boutique reflects her diverse creative journey — from textile design at Chelsea School of Art and the Royal College of Art, to roles as designer, stylist, and art director for brands such as Missoni, Max Mara, Etro, and Pinko. Her vision is rooted in the belief that luxury isn’t defined by price, but by meaning, uniqueness, and feeling. Wait and See offers a carefully curated selection of womenswear, accessories, jewelry, stationery, and vintage finds, all sourced internationally. The store also doubles as a gallery, hosting exhibitions and events that further express its lifestyle-driven philosophy: La Vita è Bella. In 2022, Uberta published her first book, A Stile Libero, offering reflections on fashion and life that echo the store’s ethos. Wait and see.

One of the best outlets that I have ever been in my life. We came here from Lugano by train it's…read moreonly 20 minutes. They have big brands like Gucci, Prada, Versace, D&G, La perla BUT not all of them are "outlets". For example LA perla had only 2 bras for sale rest were regular collection. Same with Gucci half of their boutique it's a new collection. I highly recommend PRADA they have good jackets and shoes. Also cosmetics store is very good I managed to find good deal for Valmont products. We managed to find a very nice trousers for my husband at DG. Also many other cute stores like Pinko, Flavio Castellani and etc. NOTE- If you want to do VAT refund be aware that they don't do it in other European countries since Swiss is not a Europe. We went to VAT refund and guy lied to us at the cashier even after hearing we will fly out from Malpensa back to US. He still fill the paper and took 5eur commission for each of us. When I was flying from Malpensa they weren't able to stamp it. and of course in few week my card was charged back for cash he gave me in FOX TOWN VAT refund. Also I don't know how they calculate but amount is always less because of their extra fees! ALSO good tip make sure you will eat before 2 pm otherwise everything will be closed! We weren't aware of that even shopping malls that "ridiculous food hours" We got lucky to find some chicken place that one only was available.

We come here once a year, usually after a vacation in Italy. When it started many years ago, this…read moreoutlet mall was pretty empty and deserted, not having many deals. But boy did it change over the years. Now it's a place we really wouldn't wanna miss. There are the usual big brands, but they do have heavy discounts. You gotta get lucky though and bring enough time with. Sometimes we hoped for some nice clothes of a certain brand, but ended up emtpy-handed. But then again you can find some good stuff at another brand. We really enjoy the "Gant" and the "Ralph Lauren / Polo" shops a lot. Great shirts and sweaters for fall and spring. But also heavy sweaters from Gant for the really cold season. Usually around 40 CHF (instead of 140 CHF in regular stores). They really have heavy discounts, but not big amounts of clothes. You gotta be quick and lucky that day. Also Tommy Hilfiger has some good stuff sometimes. But alone for these two, three brands it's really worth a visit. You'll spend a lot, but save even more. And the quality is high. I wear them for years and the colors do not wash out nor do the clothes wear out. This place here gets most of my money of my yearly clothing budget. Highly recommended! If there's a downside, it's the fact that dogs are not allowed. Which is unusal for Switzerland. Not in the stores I would understand, but you can't even get inside the building with them. Too bad.
