Apart from the wonderful street markets that you find all over the region, another big attraction for

fashionistas visiting Le Marche has to be the great opportunity to acquire up-to-the-minute Italian fashion

items at real bargain prices. 

 

Shopping outlets are scattered all over the hills of this wonderful region. Artisans, small, family run factories and big multinationals sit alongside one another producing fashions for designers such as Prada, Armani and Tods. Most of these have a Le Marche designer outlet shop where you can pick up fashions at a discount. 

​

The major claim to fashion fame in Le Marche is leather goods. Venture into the hills and you may meet an artisan who still does piecework, handstitching shoes for one of the major Italian shoe and handbag designers. Nearly 80% of domestic production of footwear is based in the southern provinces of Fermo and Macerata. The region has in fact the highest concentration of shoe manufactures in the world. The factories and outlets gravitate around six municipalities

including Fermo, Civitanova, Monte San Giusto, Porto Sant ‘Elpidio, Sant ’Elpidio a Mare ,Montegranaro and Monte Urano.

You are not only restricted to clothing and shoes: you can also find cutting edge producers of stylish household goods and kitchenware.

 

Here is a selection of the major outlets in the region, listed in alphabetical order by brand and within easy access by car from Montefiore dell’Aso. Here is a unique opportunity for shopping at designer fashion outlets during your holiday in Montefiore dell’Aso!
