Once there were company outlets for clothing and designer garments, usually the storage rooms or small rooms, furnished in a fairly rough way. On shelves and great tables garments could be bought for prices that were well below normal retail ones, those designer clothes that had small defects, those that are commonly referred to as "second choice". Usually they were tight in the spaces and almost hidden in the province, sometimes difficult to find or in any case to discover.
The clothing was casually laid out and the sole expedient to succeed in finding the jumper or trousers you wanted, was to rummage for hours to find the suitable size or garment. Today, with the import of the American term "outlet" the very idea of shop has changed, prestigious brands for prices that are lower than average, but with the added bonus of the organisation of a true shop, personnel assisting you in the choice of garments and sizes, spacious parking areas and the possibility to try clothes on.
Florence and its province offer quite a lot of outlets, sports clothing, knitwear and jeanswear.
