About Benetton.

Founded in 1965 by the Benetton family in Ponzano Veneto, Italy, Benetton became a global fashion phenomenon with its “United Colors of Benetton” campaign celebrating diversity and bold colors. The brand revolutionized knitwear with innovative dyeing techniques that allowed garments to be dyed after manufacturing, reducing waste and enabling rapid response to color trends. Known for provocative advertising by Oliviero Toscani in the 1980s-90s, Benetton remains an Italian fashion staple offering colorful, quality basics at accessible prices.

Why shop Benetton in Europe?

As an Italian brand, Benetton offers the widest selection and best prices in its home market. Italy's 15.35% VAT refund (€70.01 minimum) makes quality Italian basics significantly cheaper than buying in the US or other markets. European stores carry exclusive colorways and collections not exported internationally.

Frequently asked questions.

Can I get VAT refund on Benetton 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 Benetton 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.
