We have known of the existence of theOutnet for a while, but it was only last week until we shopped with them. Fashion Limbo is currently based in Brussels, wishing we could go more to London and shop-shop-shop. In the absence of cheaper travel fares (and more hours in the day to do so) we decided to give theOutnet a go, and we were not disappointed.
The chance came when we spotted a glorious pair of 7forAllmankind jeans, with a 70% reduction, and we simply had to get our credit card out. TheOutnet is part of Net-a-Porter, and offers designer products at extremely reduced prices, thus, it is an online outlet.
We ordered on the Sunday, and we received the delivery by Wednesday. Our jeans came lovingly packed (see picture above) in a zip-up bag, wrapped in some soft paper. All of this was placed in a box, so our purchase seemed pretty protected throughout the journey.
theOutnet charges a small return fee, but it all seemed pretty straightforward and easy should we had required to return/exchange the jeans.
All in all, we were thrilled with the service. We could track where the package was and calculate its arrival, which was quick.
We were so happy with the service we wondered whether we should share the news or keep the secret to ourselves... ahh fashion...
