This week was my second trip to Bicester Village designer outlets in the UK, just outside of London. Some of the stores have good deals, some don’t (like any outlets), but I will say that compared to US “designer outlets,” I’ve really enjoyed the Bicester experience. I’ve visited a Gucci outlet in Florida that had bags mostly still at full price, maybe $100 off. Total joke. This lovely dusty pink number, which I took home for £1080 (~$1300), retails for £3495.

Gucci & Prada had amazing deals. YSL had some good finds, lots of basic bags, which isn’t my thing but I know a lot of people prefer. Dior had only a handful of bags & some styles that I didn’t recognize. Chloe had a nice selection, I picked up some sneakers for about half price. They had a bunch of other clothing stores and midrange brands as well, but I was on a handbag mission. If you plan on buying a designer handbag (or two! I almost left with three lol) and can find a cheap or even reasonably priced flight to London, it’s totally worth the trip. Has anyone else been here? Would love to hear your thoughts!
