If you plan to buy a lot, take an empty luggage with you. It made shopping a lot easier for me.

Buy round trip bus tickets and save 1 euro.

It’s my 4th time to go to this outlet. I usually take the first bus to The Mall and queue at Prada because the cashier tends to have a long line a little before 12nn. Gucci is usually the next stop because by then, most of the time, there’s no more line to go inside the said store (or at least very minimal). A quick lunch after then go around other brands like D&G, Burberry etc.

Tax refund then follows.

A bus to this mall leaves every half an hour from from the place adjacent to the Florence railway station starting from 10 am in the morning to the mall which is about 45 minute to an hour.Once you reach the mall there are separate buildings for each top brand as some are on the ground floor and some have an upper floor.The day we visited there was a lot of crowd and especially in front of Gucci where there was a long que.I also found a lot of Chinese who were there to shop and because of the mad rush one could find the salesperson in most of these stores saying that they were sold out and one could not get the shirt size or the shoe size as they were all sold out !! Frankly I feel that it’s overrated and one could be lucky depending on the time, availability of what one wants to buy which again depends upon the crowd !

This is my first visit to The Mall and i loved it. It had all the deaigners outlets(except Dior and LV) and the each designer outlet shop was huge compared to other outlets i have been to and they have lots of collections. Prices is also good and they have a tax refund at the outlet.
