  • Models, upmarket yuppies, flashy trendoids and people who’d like to be/meet all of the above cram the Grand’s garden and disco.

  • The mating “G”s that once decorated the leather goods of this firm, founded by a Florentine saddlemaker, are a thing of the past, but the quality’s still topnotch.

  • Good coffee, gelato (ice cream) and panini . Tables ranged under an arcade across the piazza from the prettiest Duomo façade in Lombardy.

  • Chic designer clothing for the young and the svelte who can’t yet afford Armani and Prada.

  • Il Salvagente

    The best discount outlet in Milan, with two floors of Italian, French and American fashion at about 50% discount. Additional sales in January and June.

  • This Bergamo native delights in contrary fashions: colourful when black is in, miniskirts when conservative hem lines are the rage.

  • Central Milan’s best shop for unique hand-made glass pieces.

  • The discount factory outlet for the famed homewares designer. Get 30–50% off here and at similar outlets on the same road – Bialetti (No. 106) and Fratelli Piazza Effepi (No. 242) – and Alessi (Via privata Alessi). Look for slight irregulars (sformati ) for bigger savings.

  • The “Queen of Cashmere” since 1972 ensures her creations are as comfy as they are elegant. The Più line is for fuller-figured women.

  • The best place to pick up marked-down coffee-table art tomes and other bookish souvenirs. Also explore upstairs for cheap used novels in foreign languages.
