Quite often lovers of design fashion and trend labels have to dig deep into their pockets when they want to acquire the coveted articles of major brands. But that's not so in the case of Classic Outlet in the Leopoldstrasse 20 (near Siegestor) in Munich: here the choicest goods are on sale for up to 70% below the normal retail price.

Classic Outlet achieves these attractive prices by purchasing its goods directly from the manufacturers and by buying up special batches, collections and surplus production lots. And so the shelves of this unpretentiously designed shop become a veritable treasure trove for such appealing brands as D&G, Cerruti, Lagerfeld, Roberto Cavalli or Daniel Hechter. The finest suits and shirts from v. Feraud and van Laak, the latest ladies' collections from drykorn and also the trendy model labels La Martina and Ed Hardy invite you to take your time to forage for bargains.

The location of Classic Outlet - close to the town centre and not far from the Siegestor (Arch of Triumph) - is not exactly typical of shops selling special items. All fashion shoppers will, however, be pleased that they can also enjoy bargain-hunting in the centre of town.
