Outlet store shopping at Barberino Designer Outlet Florence
Thursday, October 20, 2016
Having stated all that, why did I still go? I had several options but I decided on Barberino because of one thing - Ralph Lauren. It wasn't even for me but for my Dad! He is such a Polo loyalist that he refused to wear other brands until a few years ago. In fairness to my Dad, his RL items lasted him for years! That IS quality.
Before I bombard you with Ralph Lauren photos and potentially lose you if you're not a fan, here are other reasons to visit Barberino.
A few of the stores
I’m not familiar with Pinko but loved a lot of their pieces
They
have free wifi in public spaces! Lucky for my family because I would
enter a store, take photos, go out of the store, and send it to them
over Messenger. I looked like a crazy person because they would ask a
question so I would take a photo, go out to send the photo and go back
in.
This is the one store I also shopped a lot in.
Lindt lip balm is REAL YO.
The Lindt store even has drinks! Ermahgerd.
€2.50 for a cup, worth it!
Just SOME of the bars I bought as pasalubong. I really bought A LOT.
The
Polo store of course! Shirts start at €30 (that’s just P1,800). Check
out those colors. If you’re a Polo fan, with these prices I urge you to
hoard.
Barberino is 30 minutes away from Florence. They have a shuttle bus with specific times departing Florence and Barberino. You may check out the schedule here. A round trip ticket is €13. Pick up point in Florence is at Piazza della Stazione.
