In these days, just after Christmas, the shopping streets of Rome are packed. Tourists and roman are going up and down via Condotti, via del Corso, via Frattina. You have different kind of shopping addicts. The more sustainable ones are the one who did not like their presents and want to change them. Generally in Italy you need to have the receipt but in some little shops it doesn’t matter as long as you have the package of the store.Then there are the shopping addicts who are already looking for discounts. Some stores in Rome are already doing some pre-sales and we saw them yesterday in via Bocca di Leone in Zadig & Voltaire, a gorgeous french brand. We particularly love an orange eco-fur discounted from 375 euros up to around 300.
Another important thing you need to know is that in Rome the official sales start the 4th of January. So try to book asap the www.grandtourshopping.com in order to get the best bargains possible with us. The end of the year is a moment of deep thinking. Apparently Christmas shopping was not so good for fashion apparels. This is due to different factors. First of all the Black Friday when people took advantage of better prices, on line and off line. The Black Friday,by the way, lasts an entire weekend in November.
