Those of you who love to travel and shop should take a look at Shop Around Tours. Specializing in shopping tour of Italy not only will you hit the Prada factory store but you also cruise outlets by Bally, Dolce & Gabbana, Etro, La Perla, Ferragamo, Bruno Magli, Frette, Petite Bateau, Cerruti, Missoni, GFF, Trussardi, Versace, Gucci, Fendi, Giorgio Armani, Yves Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Tods/Hogan, Marni, La Perla, Valentino, Emanuel Ungaro, Ermenegildo Zegna, and more.

It’s a “shop til you drop” expedition with local expert Deborah Mayer who like me has the inside scoop. They have three upcoming dates March 11-18, March 26-April 2, and July 22-29, 2006. There are also some Fall 2006 dates. Pricing is reasonable too … from $1995-$2695.
