Definitely skip Prada and Gucci as the items they stock are made for outlet and of way worse quality (hence why the stores are comparatively so big). You're better off going to Chloe or YSL for more mainstream luxury brands that are actually stocking out of season goods. If you can spend, Loro Piana was amazing.

We booked tickets for 10 euros each round trip to go to The Mall. The buses were at Piazza Montelungo which was near the train station. We did not have any problems with the bus either way. The ride was about 30-40 minutes. We booked our trip for 8:50 but was crowded so we ended up on the 9:10 bus. We booked an appointment at Gucci at 10:00. Gucci was the most popular store. The stores open at 10 so that would be a recommended time to arrive. We found some purses that we felt were reasonably priced and at quite a reduced rate. Burberry and Moncler were two other stores we liked. It was fun to pop into the other shops as well. There were several restaurants that served light snacks, wine and lunch. Highly recommend.

We were so pleasantly surprised by our visit to The Mall. We found a wonderful range of luxury outlet stores which were really well stocked, the stores we visited had friendly and helpful staff, the on-site restrooms were very clean and well maintained, and the cafe/ restaurant was very good value with a nice selection of food and beverages. I wish I lived closer so I could shop there more often!

Such a beautiful place for a shopping outlet . I really enjoyed my time here and had a lovely lunch , great wine and all round really lovely experience. Great shops ! I cant wait to go back - highly recommend . Try to get fast track pass

It is one of the most luxurious malls I visited. All big brand names are there. The best time to do shopping is in May of each year. Do not forget to ask your free invitation to the vip lounge when you buy more than a thousand dollars.

It’s a shopper’s heaven!! I went bonkers😍😍 Great collections and the such good price. I even was lucky to get extra discounts on the discounted price because of the summer sale. There was hardly any queue, I guess as I went late at 4.00pm. Only big queue was to enter YSL. Also didn’t go to Prada and Gucci as someone wrote that the things they keep there are made for the outlet only

Super small! Don’t plan to stay more than a couple of hours. If you regularly shop for $2,000+ bags and clothes, “maybe” you might be able to shop here. But most items were drastically out of price range for >90% of the human population. If you have that kind of money to blow, shop at the flagship stores! And there was nothing worth breaking my bank for. Gucci and Fendi had fluorescent dresses for $300 + $360 - but prob not a huge market for those. Save your precious time in Florence. Plus there were certain people that acted like I was invisible - walking Right in front of me and looking at the clothes I was looking at. Unconsciously freaking Rude! Don’t forget I’m American - my rudeness is at a suppressed level and you don’t want to activate it.

A must visit (if you like the big designers). Prices are literally crazy cheap for what they are selling. The staff are not obnoxious and in your face like most luxury stores. So many designers to choose from. One day in this mall was not enough, had to go twice. They also simplify the process of VAT refunds by giving you the cash early, all you have to do is go to the kiosk when you get to the airport, give them your passport, and confirm you’re leaving. Be sure to bring your passport with you to the mall (pictures work too) as they need it to give you the VAT refund forms. One small complaint: if you are in central Florence, it is about a 30 minute drive with their own shuttle bus. The bus is not free and it’ll cost €15 per person for a round trip ticket. Small inconvenience but worth it!!! Great mall and highly recommended!!!!
