Rock the Discount

We all love discount. We all love Outlets.



Are you not excited when you are finding a good bargain? Especially when we are talking about designer brands as Paul Smith, Burberry, Joseph, Whistles…
As we all know an Outlet or factory shops by definition is a shop selling directly surplus or faulty stock directly to their consumers. For you this weekend I have been snacking around to find the best Outlet spots of London.
I was very surprised and so enthusiasted to discover that London is rich of the most interesting outlet shops for clothes, accessories, Woman, man, children…

The Burberry Factory Shop

Opening hours: 11am-6pm Mon-Fri, 10am-5pm sat 11am-5pm Sun

29-53 Chatham Place
London

Nearest tube/Train: Bethnal Green
The low-down: The Luxury London fashion house more recently associated with Chinese and Japanese tourists (what’s that all about?) has an outlet shop. While Hackney may not be the most obvious choice for fashion. This is a well laid out “Burberry supermarket” and while most items remain at the £200 mark there are well priced polo shirts and cosmetic bags (£40, £19.99). With a sedate clientele this is worth a trip.

Joseph

Location: 53 King's Road SW3 4ND

The low-down: With such a loyal fan base it seems only right that we mention this sale shop with has a selection of last season's Joseph shirts from £40. From time to time there are bargains to be had but I recommend you stick to the Harvey Nichols' Joseph sale instead.
