trina turk outlet
Nothing says adventure quite like outlet shopping. But here’s one shop with a twist on the usual fare: Trina Turk. That’s right gals, our lady in fashion not only carries her classic-yet-contemporary threads in petite sizes, she also hosts a mark-it-down-and-get-it-while-it’s-hot outlet store. When I think about Trina, I can’t help but think about my favorite pieces – let’s get a description of a skirt, pant, blouse and/or jacket that you own. And the best part? She creates 8-11 lines per year — a far more interesting commitment to our closets than the common quarterly designers.
In SoCal, you’ll find boutiques in L.A. and Palm Springs, and an outlet in Alhambra. Granted, Alhambra is a bit of a trek, but, trust me, it’s well worth the journey. The outlet is known to carry past-season merchandise, samples, and garments with slight defects (you know the drill; no one ever knows but you). And petite sizes? Ample, and on sale at bargain basement prices.
But for those who live outside L.A., never fret. Trina Turk is available in national department and specialty chains like Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom, and Barney’s. Or, for the time-impaired, you can shop online at the Trina Turk website.
I’ll leave you with a handful of lasting images — starring my recent Trina Turk purchases!
Fast Facts:
The outlet displays new fashion the second week of every month — which means we petites best get our teeny selves to Alhambra between Wednesday and Saturday.
Random sample sales are enormous in scale, but are priced otherwise. Every item is $25! I highly recommend calling the outlet directly to have your name and e-mail placed on their sample sale mailing list.
