Why shop Kiko Milano in Europe?

Kiko Milano was founded in Bergamo, Italy, in 1997 by Antonio Percassi and remains Italian-owned. Italy's 22% VAT yields roughly a 13% refund on purchases over €70.01, but most single Kiko items are budget-friendly, requiring consolidation to clear the minimum. Italian flagships carry significantly broader assortment compared to the brand's limited US presence.

Frequently asked questions.

Can I get VAT refund on Kiko Milano 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 Kiko Milano 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.
