  • Etro’s trademark paisley and Pegasus icons abound on silk, cashmere and the finest wools.

  • Florentine cobbler Salvatore Ferragamo raised footwear to a modern art form when he shod Hollywood stars from Greta Garbo to Sophia Loren. There’s now a full clothing line.

  • Bargain-basement prices on brand-name clothing (Missoni, Ferrè, Yves St Laurent). Major label dresses under €150, suits under €200.

  • Small but very prestigious Milan publisher crafting the classiest (and most expensive) coffee-table art books on the market.

  • Among the highest quality linens in all of Italy: drapes, pyjamas, sheets and pillows.

  • Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

    Milan’s glorious 19th-century shopping mall, though small, manages to host a little of everything. You’ll find both the pinnacle of class (Prada) and the joys of mass-market culture (a Ricordi/Feltrinelli super-store of CDs and books). For a shopping break, visit the home-grown bastion of la dolce vita that is Zucca in Galleria (Caffè Miani).

  • Superlative Milanese grocers since 1883, with three vast floors of meats, cheeses, vegetables, breads, wines and other delicacies. Its pricey restaurant is nearby (see Cracco-Peck).

  • Gianfranco Ferré

    The former architect builds each item of clothing around a woman to accentuate her natural beauty. There’s also a branch just for men.

  • Gianni Versace

    Five floors mostly of mens-wear, with something for the ladies upstairs. Versace always manages to make surprises out of the ordinary.

  • The first mega-department store devoted to just one fashion house – that of Milan’s very own guru.
