Dolce & Gabbana
Mostly interesting for accessories, it is really only worth coming here if you have your own transport, as it is close to The Mall. In itself, it does not warrant the effort from Florence if you are relying on public transport. Less than 1km south of Leccio, turn right and you arrive at a T-junction, on your left is a long building with no signs whatsoever: this is the Dolce &Gabbana outlet.
If you do want to do it by public transport, catch a train to Rignano sull'Arno, and from there it is about 4km south (see the directions for Fendi below).

Gucci
Gucci first made its name with luggage and leather accessories created in a tiny saddlery store around the corner from here, and is now the world's best known Florentine trademark. Thanks to family feuding there are no Guccis left in the business but the name still excites aficionados.

Ermanno Scervino
Scervino cultivates an appeal to the young set conscious of the latest moves on the threads front, which often means taking a walk on the grunge side.
