So we are finally taking the trip to PA this weekend to visit some friends who live between Hershey and Lancaster and since the Lancaster outlet seems bigger I'm contemplating a visit there although we won't have much time. Anyone been to that outlet recently? Did you see anything good?

grayxie · Dec 16th, 2008, 09:48 PM

I was there on Saturday, not that impressive. Although clearance items were 50% off, they were handing out coupons for 10% off but not valid for clearance items.

Old, I know, but I don't want to make a new Lancaster, PA, thread.
Anyone been recently? I am quite tempted to make the trip due to the 20% off coupon. Fiance hasn't been to this one and he wants "some variety" (otherwise would be going to Leesburg).

TIA!

If it weren't so cruddy out I would go tomorrow AM but we are getting 1-3" of rain.

If I get up and the weather is OK, I might go.

I'm planning for Saturday. When i go on the weekends, I try to call ahead and put things on hold. Outlets are not so great on weekends!

I was thinking about the small penelope hobo in lilac or platinum (will be ~$85 + tax after discounts). I have $150 in giftcards, so I am trying to figure out what else they have.

Maybe leather folding clutches, roses scarf, Any Parker (will go over my cards, but worth it!)? Anyone know of boutique deletes there? Do the patent blue leah wristlets have vachetta trim? May consider a little Leah, maybe...

I was at Lancaster and Hershey a couple of weekends ago. They had some Sabrinas (spectator and leather). I bought a spectator Sabrina, really cool man bag $800 retail for about $150, Addison, Carly pilot satchel in plum (never released at the boutiques to my knowledge), and some smaller accessories. I then went to Woodbury last week, and they were getting in Parker last week...saw the satchel and a hippie, and a few other odds and ends. They have Bleecker Haversacks in green and chambray, tons of Penelope, a bunch of Bridgits in amethyst and bottle green that literally flew off the shelves in a few hours (NOT kidding here!)....beyond that I'm drawing a few blanks, but I took some photos so I can check those, lol. I bought the $700 op art travel satchel for $250, and a bunch of Josies, Bleecker St. clutch, things like that. All reasonably priced, but I"m definitely getting PAs if I buy nothing else this weekend, lol!

Good for me! I want a little vachetta! I want to watch it patina!

Thanks for the info DR. BL! I will have to inquire about some specifics when I call the outlet tomorrow AM.
ETA: of should I say BL, PhD? : )

^^ Hee, hee, not in bags, though...but that might be a better field!

Good luck!!!

So much going on this weekend, I'm going to try to get out to Lancaster. Lahaska, and Limerick just don't have the selection that Lancaster does.

Lancaster is normally a good bet, but I'm starting to think Hershey is also one of those 'hidden jems' as well. I'm temped, but not sure the BH will be ok with another PA run w/in a months' time :0

noshoepolish · Jun 5th, 2009, 01:53 PM

I went today. They had the best selection of Reading, Sanatoga and Lancaster. I like odds and ends, not the typical outlet stuff.

It almost looked like Lancaster cleared off some backshelves or someone returned a bunch of odds and ends.

They had Transatlantic Briefs if you need a Father's Day gift for someone. (black and brown).

cz22 · Jun 5th, 2009, 01:56 PM

So I might find some older treasures? That could be great!

Any clue how busy they get on Saturdays?

noshoepolish · Jun 5th, 2009, 02:39 PM

I was at Lancaster this AM. They had 3-4 registers going, but no line. Sanatoga was a zoo this afternoon.

Weekends are all ways crazy, especially the clearance section. The check out line moves pretty fast though.

One time at Limerick I waited 15-20 min. in line, and the configuration of the store makes it difficult for me to shop.
