I’ve known about this for a long time. It doesn’t bother me that they do it. It bothers me that consumers are misled into thinking they are buying the same quality product as in the retail stores. I think the products should be clearly labelled as made for outlet.
Oh my goodness absolutely! Transparency is key 🙌🏽
Next & M&S outlets in London Designer Outlet always have a "made for outlet" labels on some of their products
Hmm, this confirms what my Mum mentioned recently. Also explains why the zipper of a Miu Miu bag I bought last year from there somehow fell off (customer service was exceptional though). Don’t see anything wrong with outlet purchases, not everyone can afford retail prices and that’s ok.
The same thing has been said for TKMaxx. Apparently their ‘designer’ items from their Gold Label section, are all outlet made.
Yes absolutely nothing wrong with them...I have a couple but because I know I’m way more careful with them
Thank you Lorri!! That was really informative and I feel better equipped to make a decision on a purchase. ☺
I've always been aware of Outlet made products and for me, I've never minded. They never have what I'm specifically looking for, but that won't stop me going and seeing if I can grab a lil something!
We love an informed consumer 🙌🏽 yes I still go but I know what I’m getting myself into whether I buy outlet made or dead stock
Its the same with nike and Adidas being sold in sports direct. You sometimes see that the quality is not the same.
Thank you so much!! Wow I never knew! Sales tricks everywhere! Its misleading as most people dont know!
While I do believe this is true of some brands, it is not true for others. For example for when I’ve shopped in the Balenciaga store in Bicester Village and some of the full price prices in my collection have featured there. Definitely good to do your research!
That’s so interesting, it’s like they have a luxury line made affordable for the middle class. Quite genius actually. I think someone told me this a while ago when I worked retail.
Very genius!
Which is perfectly fine. Not everyone can afford a Bentley
AHH, finally someone with objective opinions on outlets 😍
Thank youuuuuu
Iowa
Thank you for this video Lorri!
You’re more than welcome ✨
Bicester is designed for Tourists hence the coaches that are constantly arriving. Bicester was good about 20 years ago but the brands have got wise to the idea of outlets..
Absolutely 💕
Very informative! Thank you for sharing. I had no idea about outlet made items.
You welcome hunny
Yes, thank you for the tips. I had a. feeling - cause whenever I go I very rarely find things that I NEED to buy, a small part of me always feels scammed. feeling like you are getting a deal but - if you dont really want it anyway lol - is it a deal?! thanks for sharing!
You welcome hun! I think it’s understanding that it’s an outlet so they not gonna have what we need...sometimes I get great u expected stuff
The way around this problem while shopping at Bicester Village is if you find something you like ask the staff in the shop if it was made in the Bicester Village factory of if it is a genuine product, I did that and the staff told me
Recently bought a prada bag at bicester the authenticity card had selfridges stamp on it so a customer return :-)
😮
Some retail items are at the outlet. They usually have them separate and they usually are not as cheap or discounted as the other items. I have bought many retail items in the outlet store even if they are past year items. I go in looking for past retail items first.
Yes absolutely...I think it’s important for people to be able to know the difference when shopping
Very informative info, thx.
Outlet bags and clothing do exist in US outlets… the ones I go here in Portugal are products that came from normal retail stores. I don’t know Biscester but from what I’ve seen a lot seem to be stuff from retail. Great informative video thank you.
Which outlet places do you visit in portugal? Planning to visit in a few months. Thank you x
This is common knowledge in the states. We have the Premium Outlets where I live and all of the designer stores in the outlets do this. It doesn’t bother me. All of my outlet buys hold up very well.
Yes, as long as people are aware what they are buying it’s all good x
Excellent
I have known this for a while. In my experience there is definitely a difference in quality between outlet and retail. I also find it very misleading when they put an absurd RRP on an outlet item but the item has never been sold at that price - this is misleading to consumers. Personally I am a careful shopper and often look online for information on whether an item is retail or outlet.
I caught on to outlet malls few years ago! The products were never as good as retail store. Champion outlet only sells tiny logo stuff lol nothing koo
Why would any of this matter if you get a good price? If you like it buy it, unless you care what people think.
Don’t think it matters but people should be aware what they are buying whether retail or outlet made
@@Lorriluxxe agree with both of you.
There is nothing wrong on getting outlet products, if you love it get but I think t outlet stores should be more transparent about the lesser quality.
II think now it’s common knowledge that outlet products are a diffusion line of so many brands. Two months ago I got a Kate spade outlet bag knowing exactly what I was getting and I’m very happy with my bag.
I thought outlet the soho collection was retail but they said they will get more at outlet so I’m confused too is soho outlet made or is it what they say all soho collection is old retail
Most Prada bags in Bicester are made in India and Romania, you will very rarely get a genuine Italian made Prada bag from Prada at Bicester Village. I dislike the place intensely, all overpriced and not genuine. I would sooner pay 1k for genuine rather than a 300 or £500 fake!
Girl i heard about this! Most items from Prada outlet is made in China or Vietnam not Europe. I returned my shoes for that reason. Ive watched many documentaries about outlet items so i am always on the lookout when shopping in outlets 👀😂! Thanks for the video!
Ohhhh I wasn’t aware of where they actually made....that’s why it’s good to be an informed consumer!
Prada moved their sneaker manufacturing to Vietnam, my old school Americas Cups were made in italy but around 10 years ago they moved production to Vietnam even the retail pairs.
@@vapedonut9532 😢
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Gucci, MK and the likes of Coach make 80 mass production for outlets and 20% what you find in stores but the likes of Manolo and Dior etc i always see their stuff in stores before going to Bicester
So true...I need to go into different stores at Bicester because I only stick to the same ones
Very true, Dior, Fendi, and many others sell original items which were/are once in proper retail/boutiques, however their discount is not huge in Bicester. But Gucci/MK and few others have big discounts, proves they’re made for outlets only. MK is much cheaper in America, even their higher end lines too.
I mean its just common sense that outlet items arent from the high end boutiques..they were made specifically for the outlets with lower quality materials...they look cheaper and tacky also...its rarely the case that the items are previous years merch,,because its maybe about less than 5% of items in an outlet store was ever in the boutiques..its very rare...Most of what you said is incorrect.
👍👍👍
Girl, I found out about these differences when I bought something from the outlet store at Bicester and tried to exchange it at a retail store. Never knew that some pieces were made specifically for outlet...
Gurllllllllll defo learnt the hard way too!
So, is Bicester Village a scam or not ?
Thats true....i went to bicester village and if you are not well versed you would not really know the difference. Some items are discounted but not massively if they came from the retail shop. I think it is just over hyped some of the items quality was not there so it makes u wonder y?? But i guess theres a market that needs to be targeted.....oooo this is triggering lol 🤐...good video though
Yes definitely targeting a specific audience...but once you become an informed shopper, you can use it to your advantage I think
Everyday people making a big deal out of high end designer outlet items when there are some rich people walking the streets with totally fake designer handbags.
I’m surprised that design houses which pride themselves on their quality, on having items made in Italy/France/Spain etc would be happy having a line of products clearly bearing their name as if the item was completely the real deal when it’s not. It’s not as though the bag, for example, has a slightly different branding. It declares it’s Prada or whatever when it’s not the same as in a ‘proper’ store. Seems strange to me. Also, how can products that aren’t the same as from an actual Prada/whatever store be considered as ‘reduced’ and a bargain when they were specifically made for outlet in the first place? The price you see is simply the price of the outlet item, not a reduction. Personally I prefer buying second hand and getting the real deal. Your account of Bicester has turned me right off!
I agree, they need to be more transparent….I definitely love preloved items. Bicester is good if you know the it’s not factory made
Yh, I remember asking a GUCCI employee in the outlet store. He was hesitant and acted like he didn’t know. Most of the items on shelf, I’ve never seen on pre season sell.
The quality is slightly different.
Do they accept cash ?
Yes
Okay thankyouu so much
So bicester is not actually FAKE?
No it’s not
Boutique gucci don’t go sale, tell me if I’m wrong..
In the uk it does.
@@ladyborat1 maybe the outlet...not the boutique?
@@ladyazalea3710 not the boutique or the retail store.
Let me tell my wife I'm going to take her shopping to outlet... I've be hanged and divorced😂🤣😂🤣nothing but the retail stores for her.
It’s not for everyone lol
@@Lorriluxxe that true...not for everyone, including wifey🤣😂🤣😂
Errrrrrr this is extremely old news. Outlets do have a mix including Gucci, you just need to know what to buy and what not to buy. Esp their scarves and the guccisimme patterns stuff.
