Retail Spotting: Forte dei Marmi

Use your eyes: Flea Markets at their best.

Jumping off from an interesting article published in the Wall Street Journal, I can't stress enough the true importance of understanding the countless possible retail scenarios.

With the whole culture of fashion blogs eating into the industry, rarely do you find outstanding outfits put-together simply from shopping at a mall.

These days, the best and most followed fashionistas are those who know how to get deals from hole-in-the-wall retailers and at the same time, use established fashion brands to accent their outfits.

So, in light of embracing how people today love to shop, we will be dropping tidbits on the great flea markets around the world.

Here's our first choice:

FORTE DEI MARMI, Italy- Piazza Marconi is  "a shopping Mecca every Wednesday and on Sundays during the summer. This is the place to be if you are visiting Forte Dei Marmi. The market opens at 8.00 and stays open until 14.00. Various traders from all over Italy ravel down to the market to sell their wares. If you are looking for some big designer names, you will find them too in Forte Dei Marmi’s weekly market. Valentino, Gucci and Prada Armani are just some of the designer brands that you will find here.

'This market has something for everyone, from expensive and exclusive designer wear to cut-price imitations of some of your favorite designer wears.'


Apart from clothing and accessories, the open air boutiques also offer you an exceptional collection of linens, exquisitely crafted house hold items, ceramics and shoes at real bargain prices." (world66)
