WORDS BY ELLY SHINKFIELD
A treasure trove for designer pieces.
As a self-identified shopaholic, the cost of living crisis has seen me turn to op shopping to get my fix. And while I do love buying secondhand, sometimes I’m just not in the mood to spend hours searching through rack after rack only to leave feeling disappointed.
So recently I decided to change tack and try my luck at designer outlet stores. Fortunately, I wasn’t disappointed and managed to find a plethora of designer items at a fraction of the cost. Outlet stores make shopping high-end labels more accessible by selling items from previous seasons and archival pieces at heavily discounted prices.
