Shopping in Turin: the subtleties you would like to know

But perhaps no one will ever call Turin a place for shopping. And this will be a big mistake, because in Turin and in its suburbs there is a large number of outlets, patches and shops that are not so famous among tourists, but are popular among Italians themselves.

1 day: Turin
In the historical center of Turin, as well as in Milan, there are both luxury boutiques and shops of medium Italian brands. In the neighborhood there are such luxury brands as Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, Fendi, middle brands MaxMara and Furla, and quite democratic Benetton and Sisley. In Turin, perhaps, almost all Italian famous brands are represented. In addition, there are shops in Turin little-known in Russia designers who offer luxury goods at inexpensive prices.
In Turin itself there are several outlets of famous brands of past collections with discounts, and in 20 minutes from the center it is worth visiting the Armani, Gant and Roba di Kappa patch.
The only problem with Turin is the lack of shoe patches in the city itself. That's why buying shoes is planned for the second day in the suburbs. In Turin, there are also fur studios and shops, where coats, by the way, are a little cheaper than in Milan.
Day 2: visiting outlets and patches in the suburbs of Turin
Outlet (outlet) is a shopping center, where clothes, footwear of different brands of past seasons are presented with discounts of 30-70% all year round. These outlets can be located both in the city and in the suburbs.
It is worth to visit one of the major outlet malls - Serravalle or FoxTown in Switzerland. In these outlets you can find the most popular luxury brands with discounts of 30-70% Prada, D & G, Armani, Ferre, Dior, Baldinini and about 100 other brands.
On the way to these outlets, it's worth looking into the patches from the factories of MaxMara, Marella, Marina Rinaldi and Stefanel. There you can find a large selection of things from past as well as current collections with discounts.
A short 30 minute drive from Turin is the town of Biella, where you can visit several small luxury outlet outlets of Gucci, Ermigliano Zegna, Sergio Rossi, La Perla, Agnona, and shoe patches from little-known Italian factories. These patches and outlets are noteworthy because they are almost completely unknown among tourists. They buy their own clothes and shoes for local people. This fact affects both the price of things (leather shoes from 25 EUR, leather boots from 50 EUR outside sales), and a fairly wide range.
