Hi!

That depends on how you define "near Milan"...:-) near-by-car, or near-by-public-transport?? however, I know one...it's called "Diffusione tessile" (my ex-girlfriend brought me there...). They sell clothes of a few quite famous italian brands (all belonging to the same commercial group), Max&Co, MaxMara, and so on..

Have a look at the website, they also sell online (so you can have an idea of what they have). Unfortunately, though, it's only in Italian

Then there are several selling points, one of which is near Milan:

It's definitely worth visiting if you like Max&Co clothes (those, you can see on the Max&Co website, which should be in English...)

Hope I've been useful.. if you want to move let's say 100-150Km I can suggest you more places. :)

Hello, Thanks a lot - we are in car though, so we can move a bit as well :-)

I have managed ti find Fidenza village and Salvagento but was wondering if there is any place where it would be possible to find Prada and Gucci?

Thanks for your help!

Well, try also this:

http://www.mcarthurglen.it/serravalle/

that is a HUGE outlet (the size of a small village), I think 100-150Km from Milan. I've been there once. I'm not sure they have prada or gucci but I can tell you it's awesome for shopping anyways (check the website for the brands they sell).

Also this: http://vicolungo.thestyleoutlets.it/ 

smaller but still nice. 

Hint: "negozi"=shops in Italian. "marche"=brands in Italian ;)

Contact me if you need more help... otherwise, enjoy yourself :)

Ok.. sorry I was curious myself: apparently there is Prada (but not Gucci) at Serravalle's Outlet (first link)... :-)
