During the Christmas holidays I visited The Mall, an outlet just outside Florence. They have a large Tod's shop and I was eager to score some hard-to-find bag (such as the purple Goa). Unfortunately, even if they have a large selection, nothing was available in purple. FYI, they have some very nice snakeskin bag at interesting prices, but no G-bags or D-restyled. I am posting some photos.... should have bought the bauletto in red (hard to find) but I was looking forward to buying something else..:tdown:

Woww!!!!!:drool:
From the pics you posted I liked most of them....lol
But if you didn't fancy anything you made the right decision not to buy.
Maybe who knows they will get some more stock soon.
Goodluck!!!!!

I went to The Mall when I was in Lucca in June. I wasn't too impressed by the prices and merchandise at the various stores, except for Tod's. I got 2 bags, some scarves, and my husband got two pairs of Hogan sneakers, a wallet, and belt. Tod's and Gucci were the only stores with decent prices and selection in our experience.

Unfortunately Tod's outlets are hard to come by in Italy. This one is the only one I heard about, although somebody mentioned another one near the Tod's factory, in Sant'Elpidio a Mare (which is a small village near Macerata). FYI, Macerata is slightly closer than Florence to Rome, but not so close..... Wish you good luck anyway

Yes, I totally agree with you. Actually, I went only because of the Tod's shop, which was the only one I was interested in. I was also curious about Bottega Veneta, but they did not have nice bags there. However, I bought a fabulous pair of shoes ;)

Anyway, would not reccomend, unless you're a Tod's fan (or Gucci - but myself not so much) ... the Armani shop was a real dump, Burberry was too crowded and selling second choice items... maybe something nice at Valentino (but not my size) :tdown:

Thanks deirregi! I may try to take the train to Florenece and then use shuttle or taxi to the mall. We'll decide when I am there. Thank you again for the information.:smile:

dierregi, thank you so much for posting the pics. To see these lovely bags all together is so exciting!

A little drop of bitterness to me: The Mall near by Florence was my last hope to find this New Eight bag in umber brown pebbled leather. It's hopeless. :sad:
