I'm a Gucci Outlet pro. I shop with most of the outlets in the USA, so I was excited to see what…read moreGucci Outlet in Italy was like.
1. Show up by 9:45 am if you can. I actually made an appointment for 10 am, but it wasn't needed. I was the 6th person in line at 9:50. The line got longer as the day progressed. The associates said they have longer lines after 12:00 pm.
2. You aren't assigned a sales associate like they do in America. I went straight to women's shoes. I asked for shoes in my size and they pulled them out from the wall in front of you! Awesome! No waiting. The sales associates are assigned to areas, so when I asked the gentleman who pulled two pairs for shoes to help me in kids, he told me someone else would assist me there.
3. When you say you want an item, they give you a ticket. Then, they take the items and move them to the checkout out line for you. Wonderful. You don't have to carry ANYTHING. As you gain more items, they scan your ticket and keep stockpiling things for you!
4. I had little hopes of the items being better priced. Gucci Outlet in Spain was very underwhelming. However, I found some green Marmont heels that never made it to the outlets in the US. They were marked down to about $480 in the department stores, and I found them at the Gucci Outlet in Italy for under 380€. I also found another shoe that sold out in the US in my size, but it was available here for cheaper!
5. Something they had no problem doing (but the sales associates in the US hate doing) was just searching available items in a specific size.
6. They do have a kids section, but it's not very big.
Overall, I had a good experience. I bought one purse and two pairs of shoes.
