Gucci - is it cheaper to buy in Rome (versus the US)

Afraid not

But if you buy something duty free at the airports you can save that way

I thought that was the case, I've never noticed it before but thought I'd check,
I know some places like Macy's offer tax free shopping.
I'll have to shop first at Heathrow

It's really worth it, esp. if you're thinking of a high-price item.

Call the Gucci in the terminal you're leaving from a few days before. Put on hold whatever you're thinking about until you get there. If they don't have what you want ask them to do a search in the other Ts, they can transfer from a different terminal really quickly . More so with airports, double check and triple check item(s) are perfect because other stores in Europe won't take returns/exchange (unless VIP). Best of all you can use and enjoy your wares whilst on your travels. Careful if stating in hotels, lock away, esp. if all still wrapped. Best of luck

Thanks so much for all the advice, It won't be until next June but I'm already saving

I bought an LV when I was in Milan and I saved quite a bit. We bought 2 things we needed a VAT refund for but we did the CC one and it was quite easy and they just did a credit to our CC.

Does anyone know how the prices for Gucci at Rome Airport duty free compared with those at Heathrow airport duty free? I am wondering which airport store has better prices. I know Heathrow offers around 16% tax free, but Rome’s Fiumicino offers 22% tax free. Does anyone know if this is true? TIA.

I was just from FCO. The mini marmont velvet was €1290 in the city and €1057 at the airport.
