Bardot Factory Outlet

Though not a huge fan of Bardot stores in general, given their over-​priciness and very disposable fashion, I do enjoy going into the outlet in Abbotsford when I’m in the area, which is in a lovely location just off Nicholson, only about a kilometre or so from the Abbotsford Convent.
At the front of the store they have a few new season looks, at full price, which you’d find in any outlet. In the middle there are always some good finds, mostly last season items. Tops range from about $ 10 – 50, pants seem to be consistently $ 50, and there are always some good priced dresses. Just this past week there were racks of black ful sequined mini dresses for $ 50 and neoprene peplum dresses for $ 15! And I must admit, I am pretty impressed with Bardot for having the foresight to create a neoprene dress a year ago.
Then, ohh, the back of the store is just lovely and laughable. The samples rack sometimes has some good finds (mostly priced at about $ 20 – 50) but mainly the «samples» are just irregularly cut current season items. Then, at the back back back of the store is my personal favourite, the $ 5 faulty items rack. Some of the pieces here are beyond salvagable, even for scrap material (giant ink stains on white silk?!). But but but there are always a few gems, such as current season dresses with a button missing or a few loose threads that can be fixed with a quick darn.
