Well, the interwebs are a-buzzin’ with this question. Apparently, Loro Piana prices fluctuate wildly depending on where you are. It’s not as simple as “Europe is always cheaper!” Nope, gotta dig a little deeper.
I saw some stuff suggesting comparing prices in the US, Canada, and Europe. That’s a start, I guess. Personally, I’d probably just start lurking on international versions of Loro Piana’s website (if they have ’em) and see what the price difference is *before* shipping and taxes make you wanna cry.
Then there’s the whole “outlet” or “sale” thing. Somebody mentioned Loro Piana *never* goes on sale. Is that even true? I mean, *everything* eventually goes on sale, right? Maybe not officially plastered all over their website, but… you gotta wonder.
And look, I get it, you want the real deal. But let’s be honest, some of those “Loro Piana dupes” mentioned in that one blurb… could be worth a look! Especially for shoes! I mean, who’s gonna know if your loafers are *actually* Loro Piana or just *really* good fakes? (Don’t tell anyone I said that).
ThredUP! That’s another option! I saw that mentioned. Discounted Loro Piana? Yes, please! It might be pre-owned, but if it’s in good condition, who cares? A gently used cashmere sweater is still a cashmere sweater, and if it saves you a ton of cash, then you win.
Honestly, finding the “cheapest” Loro Piana is a bit of a treasure hunt. It’s gonna involve some serious online sleuthing, comparing prices, and maybe even a little bit of luck. And hey, if you find a secret Loro Piana outlet somewhere, promise you’ll tell me! 😉
Oh, and remember to sign up for their newsletter! I saw that mentioned too. You never know; they might send out some secret discount codes or early access to sales… if they *ever* have sales.
