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 :-)

The smell of this store is overwhelming. Because of all the…read moreleather it has a really strong smell. I couldn't stay in here too long. But they have a variety of different leather bags, clutches, briefcases and shoes. The workers are helpful and the prices aren't bad.

I love this store, I went several times last summer (they have GREAT sales during July sale time),…read moreand I am going back today to take my mom and friend who are visiting, as well as a Milanese friend. They have a variety of leather products (shoes, purses, wallets, travel bags, etc), and if you are an avid sale hunter like me, then there are plenty of opportunities to walk away feeling like you just got a steal. I saw mentions of quality concerns in some of the Italian reviews, but those concerns were mainly comfort related and I have had no trouble with any of my shoe purchases (including a pair I bought for my mom that she wears all the time). The boots I bought are not walking shoes (made that mistake once), but I never expected them to be.

Disappointing but a few finds. I was told it would have very good vintage gucci and Louis Vuitton…read morebags but didn't find ANY! They have lots of fruits, veggies, shirts, pants, foods like salami and cheeses, perfumes, bags, jewelry, and bathing suits. If you're looking for something cheap and easy, you can probably find it here. They sell a lot of fresh produce and even beauty products. It is very hot so make sure to bring water and stay hydrated. Watch your back because there are a lot of pickpockets. They will also try to sell you fake designer bags that do not even look convincing - don't buy into it. There are many beggars do not give them money. If you try the meats and cheeses here they are phenomenal I would seriously recommend. I only give it three stars because I was going off of the premise of what the Internet said and that was that there was good designer vintage stuff. There was none.
