Silk Outlets in Como

I will be staying on Lake Como for about a month and am wondering about the silk outlets in Como. Are there good values or what would be recommended?
Any particular "must see" other than what is found in the usual guidebooks, as I have been researching for some time.

I don't know of any good outlets in Como.

Instead I have been several times to a nice, big and very convenient outlet, called Fox Town, located just across the border (in Switzerland). It is in a town called Mendrisio (in Ticino, the Italian part of Switzerland) and is approx. 30 minutes from Como.

Not an outlet per se, but Frey (Como) makes some gorgeous silk items and they have a factory store. My favorites are their silk jackets with stunning print linings.
Occasionally, you also see some Frey items on sale at stores around Como.

Thank you Kilu and BTilke, good information. I will go to both places as I will have plenty of time to poke around.
