My info is from June last year (going in a few weeks so will report back then). Last June the Animale outlet near Bintang Supermarket was just an Animale shop - ie, high prices. There was also a large Animale accessory shop between Bintang & Animale.
The factory outlet in Kuta was still there & well-stocked. The one on Sunset is/was Io & Co.
I understand (& I may well be wrong) that Mr & Mrs Animale split up - Mrs kept the Animale name & shops & Mr opened Io & Co. Not sure what is happening now but, although I got some good bargains from Io, I by far prefer Animale designs & fabric (Io often uses synthetics & pastels & frills - I am sure many, esp younger people, would prefer this style but it's not for me).
Any cab driver knows where the Kuta Outlet is - almost opposite Gelael smkt. Opens at 9.
