Italian fashion luxury boutiques are one of a kind. You can find every fashion luxury brand imaginable, or perhaps even the unimaginable in Italy’s smaller cities, which are esteemed as having even more exceptional, top-class fashion shopping districts than Milan’s. In addition, you can also find a large selection of items from Italian, French and other top international fashion brands and designers, as well as their exclusive capsule collections that are available only in certain Italian boutiques. And just when you thought it doesn’t get better than that– their prices are typically the lowest in the world.

“Can’t we get our VAT reimbursed as tourists?” Yes, you can. If you don’t mind  standing for a really long time at the airport’s long customs line with all the necessary documents from the shop and purchases just to get all of them stamped. Some have reported that although they followed all the procedures carefully, sometimes the VAT refund just doesn’t turn out. And a much worse scenario is when you get home and realize an item you had purchased doesn’t fit, or you simply changed your mind. 

For a lot of people, the headache is just not worth the precious time, effort and sometimes a few more dollars being risked.
