Off 5th

Always get great bargains and fantastic clothes and jewelry! The sales and specials are great and the shoe selection is amazing. I bought a $ 500 dress marked down to $ 20 !! It just needs a bit of work to replace some beads that I can have done for $ 30!

I would say I visit this location once a year out of pure curiosity.
When I visited this location a year ago, everything was well laid out and easy to navigate. There was proper signage for designers (they even had a Chanel jacket in the flesh), and actual designers to be found.
2014 — Designers to be had for women, and maybe a few scattered in Men’s section. I thought men’s section was too small and neglected. However for professional attire they sold designer ties (Versace, Ferragamo, etc) for a decent price. Lots of designer sunglasses to be found (mainly for the females).
2015 — A bunch of racks mushed together for the women’s area. Men’s department is scaled back and pushed towards the back corner. Jewelry was relocated to former section of men’s area (yawn). Shoes have been upgraded (read: tall displays and boring shoes) for women and moved to an area previously that had designer women’s clothing. Sunglasses have been pushed to a pittly display next to shoes for women. I spotted Armani sunglasses… not thrilling.
Men’s department, what the heck? Full of Saks blue, red, black house brand. Why would I visit the outlet for the store brand? Derp. Absolutely no designer items. I saw maybe a few Penguin brand t-​shirts which was the only brand outside of their realm.
Men’s shoes… disappointing. Mainly boring no-​name shoes, though I spotted a pair of Ferragamo’s in my size for $ 249, yet I could buy them around $ 159 at a Nordstrom Rack for comparison.
Suggestions to company/​store: Bring more direct from saks here! Get rid of the clutter and make the store more shoppable and flow.
Suggestions to shoppers: Women may find this store of value, as I did spot some Vince and Helmut Lang clothing by the shoes area. Men? Skip it. You’re better off not wasting time.

Wanted to get sis in law some designer duds for her birthday. Already done the Rack. Did Tiffany’s. Googled outlets in Ohio and found Off 5^th at Aurora. Been to Aurora a million times to hit Adidas outlet. How I missed Sak’s is beyond me. I think I always subconsciously noticed it, but kind of forgot. Checked out the website and was blown away. Should I have just online shopped? Probably (see Tiffany’s review). But I like the physical act of shopping. I’m an ex vinyl record junkie, recovering homegoods junkie, but unfortunately an incurable label whore when it comes to threads.
The reality of this store vs website is quite sobering. Very few designer duds, ugly purses, hideous, ahem, HIDEOUS shoes, and about a million Saks brand and Ivanka Trump brand merch. I was taken aback at the crappiness of the selection. But I soldiered on, like a good nearly gay fashionista brother in law would. I spent nearly an hour pouring over the clearance racks in search of anything cool. Sprinkled in with all the (ugh) Calvin Klein and gaudy Michael Kors (aka guy who makes ghetto pawn shop feces and passes it off as high fashion stuff) were some classy and affordable French Connection and Ellie Tahari business casual pieces. They were 30% off. Cool. Also perused some male fashions (cuz I’m a selfish dick). Found a Saks brand cable knit sweater vaued at 80 bucks marked down to 16 dollars. I got it because I’ve wanted said sweater for almost 20 years. Back in 1993 all the rappers wore them. Somehow, they are still in. Complete steal. Almost 95% off.
It was both exhilirating and frustrating to dig around here. Ugly Von Furstenbergs, cute as hell French Connection dresses, walls of bland Stuart Weitzman and Vince Camuto shoes. A true challenge for any label junkie. But also satisfying. Clerks were all way nice and low pressure. Shall I return? Not soon. But sometime…

A surpisinngly well organized store with some decent buys.
They had some of the better desingers represented; Versace, Dior, Dolce, etc.
Pirces were reasonable and the staff was helpful.

This location has a great selection of clothing, fragrances, shoes and accessories if you’re a woman. I saw some spectacular savings in the women’s section. Not so much in the men’s area.
I like a good deal on the high end labels too. After all I am the label whore in my household. Where’s the Burberry, Fendi, Gucci, Prada and Versace for the men? The store is very dated and could use a remodel compared to my local Off 5^th at the Tanger Outlet in Washington, PA. The space could use some more light.
The sales people are extremely friendly and helpful though. Be sure to sign up for the free More! rewards card to get some extra savings too.
Bottom line ladies if you’re in the area and love to sift through racks for bargains Off 5^th is defiantly worth a visit.

I am not so good about shopping but this place has some good bargain prices for brand name stuff.
Worth visiting if you are looking for some branded stuff for cheap.

I was watching a James Bond movie last night and began to wonder what sort of torture it would take to make me spill…
«So Ms. M, you won’t tell us the formula, eh? We have ways of making you talk! Oddjob! Take her Manolo Blahniks!» The huge henchman wrenched my 4^th favorite pair of shoes off my feet. I grimaced, but wouldn’t say a word.
«Still won’t talk? Fetch the Nine West shoes!»
«You wouldn’t!» I gasped, letting my guard down. Luckily for me the the shoddy Nine West knockoff of a Prada design fell apart in his hands, as did the pathetic Steve Madden pair her produced afterward. I arched one eyebrow and smirked.
«So smug, are we Ms. M? Fetch the Sketchers!!!» he shouted.
«You expect me to wear Sketchers?» I asked.
«No, Ms. M, I expect you to die!»
I screamed as Oddjob forced the worst possible footwear on my trembling foot.
I can’t abide bad shoes. However, my taste exceeds my budget, so I make regular pilgrimages to Off 5^th. There I can find some of my favorite brands– Delman, Stuart Weitzman, Dior, Kate Spade, YSL and Ralph Lauren Purple Label for a mere fraction of their regular prices. (Sorry no Trinity– Manolo, Louboutin or Jimmy) Sign up for their e-​mail/​mailing list and you will get advance notices of sales and extra percentage off coupons.
Their designer clothes section is fabulous as well. It requires some diligent picking, but Escada, St. John, Valentino and Ungaro can be had for a fraction of their regular price. There is an entire section of Tahari. There are also deep discounts on Joe Jeans and Saks’ house brands.
Examples:
Kate Spade black patent slingback kitten heels: regular $ 300, I paid $ 30.
YSL black patent d’orsay 4.5 inch stilettos: $ 780, I paid $ 80
Dior 5 inch platform suede round toed stilettos: regular $ 720, I paid $ 125
Escada houndstooth silk wrap dress: regular $ 1,800, I paid $ 430
Ungaro silk and linen skirt: regular $ 350, I paid $ 60
I also find Delmans and Stewart Weitzmans which run from $ 250-​$ 350 for under $ 100.
Well done, Ms. M.
