In the States there are sales all the time. Not so here.
In Italy the big sales are in July and January. You might see a small store here or there hold a special but sales here are regulated by the State. They start in Milan and then continue down the boot for about a month.
The air was festive. I would say the crowds were split 50/50 between Italians and tourists.
The markdowns were no joke. Next sale season I will be ready!
The line outside of Gucci went on forever. Even after the store was opened.
Line outside of Burberry before it opened.
I wonder if any classic trench coats were on sale.
Line outside of Fendi. This building is gorgeous inside.

Ciao Erin, something funky is going on with Blogger. I wasn't able to publish your comment so I cut and pasted it. x
Yes! The summer sales! *haert heart heart heart heart*. I have to get out and about here in Lecce and see how they are. :-)
I love that the sales in Italy are early enough that you can still buy stuff in season. You still have time! I tend to hold out until the end of the month and see what goodies are left at 70-80% off.
Gucci and Burberry are the two places where I got the best deals a few years ago(before children began consuming any disposable income). 50% off right at the beginning of the sales, which was great.
Tina - Happy shopping!
christine - Yes I agree. The sales here are much earlier in the season than the big US sales.
regina - I was shocked to see how deep the markdowns were.
