Foxtown Mendrisio: ever been there?

Has anyone ever been to Foxtown Outlet in Mendrisio? Does it worth going there from Zürich or is it a waste of time?

There's been a few mentions of that in the forum. A quick search I did gave me these results:

I stopped there on the way to Milan. It was quite big, but not for me, who doesnt care about brands. Italians seem like brands and are ready to pay accordingly. I bought anyway a few things from Esprit (10-20 CHF each) and Geox shoes for 90 CHF.

I would not go there just for shopping all the way from Zurich.

It's good if you like high end designer brands - Gucci, Prada, Christian Dior, Missoni. I got some Missoni scarves at great prices - worked well for Christmas presents. Not sure I would go just for this but to spend a weekend in Tessin and go there for the afternoon would be good.

I was there...with the ex-girlfriend...I spent about CHF500 at RL...good selection pretty much like in the US and quite similar prices to those of RL outlet in US. I was happy and the ex not much as there are many brands she never heard of. WOrth the trip especially if combined with a stay in nearby Lugano.
