Italy is well-known around the world for her reputation as a fashionable place and a global fashion capital. As such, there are many who have dreamed of going shopping while holidaying in Italy. However, if you are a bargain hunter or want your money to stretch farther, then you need to plan your trip for a particular time of year: during the “saldi”. Unlike many other places in the world, Italy’s sales are far more carefully regulated by the state and do not happen willy-nilly all throughout the year. One of only two times per year that sales happen is during this period, the saldi of January. If you’ve always wanted to visit the official fashion capital of Italy, this is the best time. Find a vacation rental in Milan and get ready to shop until you drop!
Saldi (the word literally just meaning “sales”), take place in January, beginning begin on the 5th of the month, which is the first business day before the festival of the Epiphany, lasting for about sixty days. This is generally one of the only times of year that you will see items on sale in normal stores with prices slashed and significant discounts so it is the best time of year to go on a shopping trip to Italy.
Leave room in your suitcase to bring your purchases and gifts back home with you, be ready for a bit of chaos and for competition to get your hands on the best bargains, and be sure to pace yourself as it can get hectic and tiring. Fashionistas interested in visiting Italy, take note and be sure to plan your bargain-hunting holiday for this time of the year! Considering it falls just after the holiday season, an Italian shopping trip would make for a perfect gift for a partner in crime or to yourself!
