Shopping in Milan

Newest Review: ... the city. WHAT'S THE SERVICE LIKE?: We visited pretty much every one of the haute couture stores and La Rinascente, the department store across from the Duomo. All the shop staff we encountered were nothing but friendly and helpful - for instance, in Versace I was looking for a shoulder bag - we were immediately approached by a shop assistant, and when he heard what we were in the market for, he promptly brought out 3 models of bags for us to look at, in at least 2 colours each. When we decided to continue looking at other stores, he provided us with his business card and asked us to call if we had changed our mind. Also, we had to go to ... more

Like I've written in a previous review on Milan as a city, I was delighted with the shopping in Milan. If you are into high fashion, especially the Italian designers, then this is the city for you. WHAT'S AVAILABLE?: The Galleria Vittorio Emanule sports the original Fratelli Prada store, which originally opened its doors as a leather goods store in 1913. All the other grands couturiers, including Gucci, Versace, Dolce & Gabana, and the French houses of Chanel, Dior, and Hermes, have both flagships in the Galleria and the Via Montenapoleone as well as smaller concessions in the city's shopping malls throughout the city. WHAT'S THE SERVICE LIKE?: ... Read the complete review

Consider Milan is supposed to be THE place to shop I was a little diappointed with my only purchase being from H&M! Milan is a beautiful city and the shopping centre is lovely for a strole but mostly out of my price range.

It's similar to walking down New Bond Street in London I'd say. There are doormen, Ferrari's parked along the road, glamourous women doing their shopping. I actually had the door shut on me in one shop as I looked as though I might ... Read the complete review

This summer after saving up a lot of money I had picked the best destination to spend it. I went to one of the fashion capitals of the world, Milan. I had typed out my list of shops and a day or so after arrival I took my Euros and went shopping. The good thing about here is it is a great type of shopping trip but you can never do all of the shopping in one day. You get a mixture of everything here, vintage shops, markets, high street, mid high street and designer. Even if you don?t have the money you must take a look inside the designer shops even if only for a look at the presentation and collections. Via Montenapoleone: This must be one of the most famous ... Read the complete review
