MAX MARA AND ZEGNA OUTLET:
People ask me most often if I know
of a Max Mara outlet. I have to agree, they are one
of my favourite brands and every year I shell out for
a few pieces retail.
I recently read about this in an English
news paper and managed to get there this August (2004).
It is one of the best out lets I’ve
ever been to. Enormous, packed with stock, all sizes
and amazing prices. All handbags 60.00 Euro, skirts
from 20 to 60. Coats from 100 to 250. Shoes all under
100.Knit wear around 40.00
It stocks all Max Mara lines from
Sport Max through Marina Rinaldi but every thing has
been re labelled “Intrend” I’m very
familiar with their lines and recognised loads of items.
New winter lines arrive after August
20th.
There was also a smaller section of
Malizia and La Perla under wear and bathers.
Designer: Max Mara and Malizia/La
Perla

20 minutes from Parma on the A1 Auto Strada (motor way).
