Why shop Giorgio Armani in Europe?

Giorgio Armani was founded in Milan in 1975, and Italy remains the brand's home. Italy's 22% VAT delivers roughly a 13% refund on purchases over €70.01. The Milan flagship Armani/Manzoni 31 combines boutique, café, restaurant, hotel, and home goods in one space. Italian boutiques carry full Giorgio Armani, Emporio Armani, and Armani/Casa lines under one roof.

Frequently asked questions.

Can I get VAT refund on Giorgio Armani online purchases?

No. VAT refunds are only available for in-store purchases made in Europe. Online orders shipped internationally are already VAT-exempt.

Do I need to show my Giorgio Armani purchase at customs?

High-value items (typically over €1,000) may require physical inspection at customs. Keep your purchase in carry-on luggage, not checked bags.

What if I'm connecting through a non-EU airport?

You must validate your VAT refund at your last EU point of departure, not your final destination.

How long does it take to get my refund?

With TravelMoney, refunds are processed instantly once validated at customs. Standard tax-free services can take 4-12 weeks.
