If you have a penchant for designer clothing but shudder as soon as you see the price tag, a trip to a factory outlet will be ideal for you. Several outlets can be found in the UK, but the more professional shopper should head for Florence or Milan where there are lots of big name designers to choose from. What could be better than lapping up some glitzy Italian culture, AND hunting for must-have designer bargains at the same time? From Gucci, YSL and Prada, to Fendi and Miu Miu -there are prized finds to be had. The only tricky bit is finding the outlets and deciding what to buy.
