Tbilisi Outlet Village • თბილისი აუთლეტ ვილიჯი — Local services in Lower Kartli

The new outlet in Tbilisi was a complete disappointment. It’s located 15 minutes from Lilo market in an industrial area with no public transport, making it almost inaccessible. The parking lot is covered with tiny stones, the area is dusty, and the buildings look cheap and poorly finished.

We arrived at 6 p.m, 26 October ., the parking lot was dirty, and the grass was dry. There were a lot of people dressed up leaving the event, which had obviously ended. The waiters were collecting tables and clearing dishes, people were finishing their drinks, and there was a traffic at the exit. Most importantly, there were only a few boutiques and one cafe open. DKNY had prices in dollars or no prices at all. There was no program for customers, just an alley with five open stores that were already in the city. It had nothing to do...
