This may be one for the girlfolk out there...
OK so no Euro holiday is complete without the souvenirs and
stuff. So to go home with a more Euro wardrobe (no, not
leiderhosen or however you would spell that!? ), I was
hoping those in the know could help with the following dumb
questions or not:
Is Milan purely a top shelf expensive place to shop for
clothes?
Where is the best-cheapest place to buy a good leather
jacket and leather shoes?
Does anyone have any tips-contacts in regard to shopping in
Italy - ie factory outlets or anywhere else I am targetting
for summer hols..Hungary, Czech,Turkey.
Any info would be grand.
Cheers!

For leather clothing (coats too)and bags I can recommend
Turkey. The only placed I really shopped to buy leather
was in Seljuk (not far from Izmir on the west coast), but
you can get good deals on nice things from the
manufacturers' warehouses. It shouldn't be difficult to
find these places. They actually function as part of a
"shop-tour" system in which plane- or busloads of tourists
from different countries are brought in en mass with the
express purpose of buying leather. Many of these people
are shopowners in their home countries. You can also get
there individually - if all else fails ask about
wholesalers in a shop - and you'll be able to better
discounts. Even for only one item you should be able to
get 40-60% off the ticket price.

Try shopping in Turkey for good leather clothing and bags.
The only place I actually shopped to buy was in Seljuk, on
the west coast, but leather clothing is i large industry in
Turkey. Locate the manufacturers' warehouse - these places
actually participate in something called the "shop-tour"
where whole loads of foreigners are bused in expressly to
shop. Many of these people are shop owners at home. My
point is, that it shouldn't be too difficult to find these
warehouses, and if all else fails you can ask in a
boutique. As an independent shopper you should be able to
get at least 40-60% off the sticker price. Good luck!
