Bloomingdale’s Outlet

Not a great selection for me in this store. The women’s stuff is ok and they hae some decent designer handbags. On the whole the merchandise seems way better in other locations. It does not have a modern feel to it here and for men unless you like Boss or Lauren you may well be out of luck finding something for yourself as I was!

There are a lot of positive reviews for this Bloomngdales outlet, so maybe we just hit them on a bad day? On the positive side, the store is pretty well organized and doesn’t feel «jumbly». The décor is really dated though — pink and purple everywhere. All they’re missing is the unicorns and rainbows.
The merchandise was really, really bad though — really bad. I’m talking racks of Jones New York and Ralph Lauren — why not throw some Liz Claiborne from the 90’s in there too? for the more «fashion forward» (I guess…) they did have Affliction tops for women and sparkly Uggs.
The «best» (by that I mean the worst) was the rack labeled «Straight from our Bloomingdales Store». Yeah, when that rack is full of INC filler crap I’m going to call shenanigans on you.
I can’t comment on the staff or service because we didn’t really see any! Like I said, maybe we hit this store on a bad day as others seem to have found «good stuff». I just didn’t see any.

3.5 stars.
There is some good-​looking merchandise here. I had heard good things from family and friends for about a year now, and this was my first visit. The handbag selection is very small (I heard it recently shrank), but the clothing more than makes up for it; it’s about 75% women’s with the rest split between men and kids.
My problem was with the prices. As an ex-Bloomie’s fanatic, I know the prices hover in the mid-​hundreds to thousands, easily. An outlet-​style store should have more competitive pricing. A lot of pieces were only 20 – 30 $ off MSRP (roughly 10% off) and plain silly. One case that sticks out was a gorgeous pair of Vince pumps (Vince brand, not Camuto) which were originally $ 275, here for $ 252, and on Vince’s OWN WEBSITE for $ 187. (I Google’d in-​store. :-))
Long story short, we scored some nice sweaters which were an additional 50% off after the holidays. The rest of the store left something to be desired. If I wanted to pay $ 250 for a top, I’ll go to an actual Bloomingdale’s and buy this season’s merchandise.

Great deals! Bloomingdales is a really high end department store. This is the outlet so don’t go expecting some fancy place. I got a wildfox sweater for $ 65 normal price $ 108. Free people pants for $ 40 which are normally $ 68. Sam Edeleman sandals for $ 47 normally close to $ 100. Today they had a buy one get one half off the entire store til Monday! Good place if you know what you are looking for.

Complete waste of time — I’ve seen the same exact Hudson jeans on Rue La La for $ 100 cheaper than what this «outlet» store was selling. Additionally they have a really sparse shoe selection.

Of all the discount designer stores in this strip mall this is probably my least favorite. Not to say I don’t like the store but the other stores like Saks and Nordstrom aren’t as dated looking.
When you walk in the door it’s like entering a time machine and traveling back to the 90’s. Fluorescent pink and purple walls fill the store.
Joking aside there is some decent merchandise here, but you have to look pretty hard to score a really good deal. For me I’ve only scored one good find at a Bloomingdales outlet. Last winter I found some north face ski gloves for $ 45 that are normally $ 200.
The jewelry selection is not that great here. I’m more specifically shopping for clothes but just an observation.
Anyway, it’s worth stopping in because you never know.

Meh. I dunno. Perhaps I was having an «off» shopping day, but I was just none too bowled over by the Bloomie’s outlet.
Yes they have designer denim. And lots of trendy casual wear and costume jewelery. These are the areas I was particularly impressed. I spied tons of cute brands like Joie, Seven for All Mankind, Vince, French Connection and the like. Prices were roughly 30−50% off retail, depending on the season.
The rest of the store was where I felt «meh.» I attempt to shop for a cocktail dress for an upcoming wedding and was nonplussed at best. Not only was the selection extremely limited in both size and scope, but the offerings weren’t Bloomie’s calibre. I didn’t see much style in the dress section. Womp womp.
As for the bags and the shoes, brands and style were on point but the prices were quite a bit higher than typical outlet stores. So, moral of the story… Bloomingdale’s is worth a stop but may not have the depth of options and price points you’re looking for.

They had a better selection early after they opened this store. Like they had a rack of Armani Collezioni, Gucci, etc, women’s clothing. Their clearance section isn’t that great lately. Better men’s selection than Nordstrom Rack. Nordstrom Rack has a better women’s clothing/​shoe selection though.

I love love love the Bloomie’s outlet. The deals are fabulous and the clerks are very friendly. Great size and color availability, not just XXL/​yellow! Come to CA please!!!

I got the cutest Native American/​Aztec winter coat for under $ 40!
Love the jewelry selection when your out looking for the «cheaps»
I didn’t see much beyond the few débutante style dresses… too much floral… and bling for me, but hey… I’ll definitely be back to check it out from time to time… gotta make use of my credit card :)

Excellent collection of clothes and shoes. Everything is neatly arranged and easy to find. They always seems to have a new sale every time I visit. I love saving some extra cash on high end fashion.

I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t get too into it here. I feel like it’s a pretty small store compared to the other little outlets right in the area.
I do think that they have a nice selection of handbags, however they are still quite expensive in my opinion. Not saying that you’re not getting a «deal» but dang… it’s still breaking my bank.
They also get some nice shoes in, but I have yet to see a real deal I couldn’t pass up.
There is one item I am kicking myself for not buying and it was a peach (excuse me, burnt orange) colored Rebecca Minkoff bag that had a olive green leopard interior. It was amazing, $ 495 and their price $ 319.

I will preface this review by saying Bloomies is my favorite dept. store and I have been a loyal customer for many years. I also consider myself an expert deal shopper. I was thrilled when I heard about this outlet opening up 25 min from me!
I attended the grand opening; similar to Bloomies Private Sale events, they had a DJ, refreshments, and gave everyone a surprise discount. I scored some good deals. I have been back a few times since and have yet to be disappointed. Just yesterday I scored a pair of $ 395 Hunter leather boots for $ 31! I also bought my uncle a $ 300 grey cashmere sweater for $ 36. There were some amazing deals to be had. Like any outlet, selection varies and luck is a huge factor. But that’s a given. There are usually promotions that make the prices even more attractive ($ off, % off, future coupons with purchase, etc.).
They carry the usual contemporary brands: J Brand, Vince, Theory, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Juicy Couture, UGG and many others. Similar to competitor outlets, merchandise is a season or two old. I would visit if you’re familiar with these brands and their price points and expect good deals in the range of 50% off or so with the occasional amazing deal. Their 30-​day return policy is fair.
The staff is friendly and the store is attractive, cleanly organized, and well kept — the best of the outlet lot IMO. I will definitely go back on a regular basis. As a matter of fact, this store alone has made this my favorite strip mall (the rack and off fifth are worth a visit if you’re already there).

I love this outlet! With a whole sea of outlet’s nearby (Nordstrom Rack, Marshall’s, Sak’s) it is hard to choose one but the Bloomingdale’s outlet is my new favorite! Nordstrom Rack has always been my top pick in the past but it is always so busy in there– on any given night there are at least 5 – 10 people waiting in line. That is not the case here though— I don’t know if it hasn’t been discovered yet or what but there is never a line, there are always plenty of people walking around to help, and that is on top of all of the awesome merchandise they have. The store itself is also super organized. Everything is always in the right place and you don’t have to go scavenging for things— it is all out in the open and easy to see.
They have so many cute cocktail dresses, shoes, boots, sunglasses, etc. I recently purchased my wedding shoes here about half off the original price. They have really nice fine jewelry section too— gorgeous cocktail rings, etc. Their bag selection is a little limited compared to Nordstrom Rack but they have a decent Marc by Marc Jacobs section.

Lovely! I was a bit taken back by the dressing room set up — they count how many items and give you a little plastic marker and then afterwards you show them the marker and the clothing to prove you haven’t somehow stolen an item (heck, you are still in the store). This method probably reduces shop lifting, but doesn’t fit Bloomingdales’ image.
Otherwise — the men’s selection is decent and I bought a pair of jeans and a day or two later got an email coupon for a future visit. The men’s section was well organized and everything looked folded and neat with no chaos at all. The people working there were reasonably helpful, though its an outlet and I can’t really say that bloomingdales at 900 michigan avenue provide that much more service. Checkout was fast — even though this was the weekend before christmas, there was no line.
My main request is a bloomingdale’s home store section (or store)!

Love this place!!! All my favorite designers in one place! There are no crowds here and the place is easy to shop around. I cant wait to go back!

Have been to the outlet twice. Both times I found great deals. Last trip two shirts that were both over $ 100 a piece. I paid $ 36.84 for both.
Time before that $ 125 pucci style dress for $ 23.
Both time I was greated when I walk in and left.
Also the salespeople at the check-​out were very friendly.

Fantastic! My eyes almost popped out of my head when I drove by and saw the bloomingdale’s outlet sign gleaming in the moonlight! Woo Hoo! I have been with one of my girlfriends twice since they opened and both times the store was very nicely organized. I thought Off Fifth was hard to beat in terms of organization (for an outlet store) but I am impressed! The selections of brands and sizing for clothing was very nice. Tons of jackets and coats (lots of Tahari and Michael Kors) and am impressive sunglasses selection including YSL, Givenchy, Burberry, Gucci just to name a few. The shoe selection was also nice, but when I have been there it has been more plentiful in the larger or smaller sizes. I’m a size 7 and found very little that I liked in my size. It’s an outlet and is to be understood… The only section I found to be a little disappointing was the handbag section. Just not much of a selection… I do look forward to checking back frequently to see what special prizes I will find!

Quick question: Would you go to a store where the attendants ignore you and greet everybody else? Not even one of them greeted nor offered any help!!! No wonder they work in the outlet and not in the regular store.

When I walked in and saw that the Bloomingdale’s Outlet Store has all of the brands that other outlets tend to be missing — Rebecca Minkoff, Kate Spade, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Juicy Couture, Theory — I first squealed, then grabbed a shopping bag and began to scour the store with purpose.
My prize for the day was a pair of mid-​calf, suede wedge boots by Juicy Couture — $ 130 from $ 325, heck yeah! I couldn’t be happier, because I was drooling over these very same boots when I first saw them in the Juicy catalog.
This outlet store just opened, and it’s a nice addition to the Woodfield Village Green area — there’s a Saks Off 5^th and a Nordstrom Rack right next door. The Bloomingdale’s Outlet has a huge women’s section and a decent men’s and children’s section, but unfortunately, there are no Bloomingdale’s Home Store items here… yet.
I liked the brand selection for women’s clothes. They have modern apparel in the front, with brands like French Connection, Michael by Michael Kors, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Theory, Juicy Couture and Joie. Towards the back, they have work-​friendly brands like Tahari, Anne Klein and Jones New York.
The winter boot selection was fantastic — whether you’re looking for a new pair of Uggs, some cute rubber rain boots, knee-​high riding boots, edgy motocycle boots, sexy over-​the-​knee boots or something in between, you can find it here.
The handbag section was also impressive — they had so many Marc by Marc Jacobs bags, clutches and wallets! Same goes for Kate Spade, Rebecca Minkoff, Elliott Lucca and Michael Kors.
Finally the accessories were a total hit, too — watches by Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors, winter accessories by Ugg, massive sunglasses selection. And that’s just what I remember off the top of my head.
Overall, I think the Bloomie’s Outlet is an all-​out ‘win’ for women who follow brands and trends closely, really know what they want, and can thoroughly appreciate the deals they’re getting on the merchandise here. And it’s DEFINITELY the place to go if you want a killer pair of winter boots!
