Our best kept secret if you like fashion at small prices: this is the Levis + Diesel + Kookai outlet of the island. You'll find old collections of these brands (1 or 2 years old) but at 50% (or even cheaper) of the initial price. If you are a fashionista (like me) you'll love it :D
They also have a huge collection for men and children of the same brands!
