6 Factory Outlets in Emilia-Romagna That You Shouldn't Miss

Reviewed By Bandit-One - Lucerne, Switzerland

After a day in Bologna we took a little detour to the Woolrich Outlet Store. We know the brand. Quality is great - but so are the prices. At least in my country. We were hoping for some good deals here in Italy, but didn't want to expect too much. Located on a quiet street in the middle of what feels like an industrial area. But then after you walk through the doors of the almost hidden store you enter shopping heaven. They got all kinds of clothes and accessories. In all colours. For women and men. For all seasons. We came for the winter section, since it can get quite cold here in Switzerland. And Woolrich is just made for that (and more). Of course there are the last-season stocks, but you also can get the timeless classic editions and the current lines. Items from the past season are very very well priced. My wife bought one coat, I got one jacket. Hers for 300 Euros, mine for only 270 Euros. Market price was over 700 Euros each. Then another jacket. From the current production line. They told us it would be "normal" priced. We were in for a suprise to see it was only 500 Euros. Here at my home it would have been about 900 Euros. Staff was extremely helpful, friendly, polite. Let us take our time to dress, to think, to talk. And even our English Bulldog was very welcome and happy to be able to come with. Shop is nicely set, lots of space, spotless clean. Restrooms as well. Walked out with three items for a little over 1000 Euros. Saved about 1500 Euros - if bought here at home. A fantastic shop. Definitely will be back. If you shop big, it's even worth to drive to Italy just for this.
