It’s mid-August as I write this. Which means a couple of things for moms like me: 1) school is starting, 2) Halloween is only a couple months away, 3) there are only 20 Saturdays left until Christmas.
I could pretend to be stressed out about all the shopping I have to do for back-to-school outfits and the perfect collection of pieces for our family photos this year. Or I could just own up to the excitement which comes from hopping into the group text and grabbing all my friends to spend a prep day at Desert Hills Premium Outlets.
Within easy driving distance of Orange County, the largest luxury outlet shopping destination in the state is home to scores of notable brands and luxury names alike. Desert Hills recently welcomed seven new luxury retail offerings to its already illustrious roster, five of which are the only locations on the west coast. You can check off every giftee on your entire list at once – from newborns and trendy teenagers to fellow fashionistas and even the modish minimalist in your life.
Brands like Golden Goose, Maison Margiela and Zimmerman are part of the outlets’ commitment to offering a wide variety of highly sought-after retailers, further elevating the property’s unique collection and the overall client experience.
The first AMIRI outlet in the world is here – a modern American luxury house that seamlessly blends L.A. lifestyle, exceptional savoir-faire, highly detailed deconstruction and embellished fashion looks. Other first-to-market luxury retailers in the Western U.S. include:
GIVENCHY
Look for the brand’s full array of ready-to-wear styles across haute couture, accessories, perfumes and cosmetic lines. Each crafted style encompasses trim tailoring and classic looks to slouchy streetwear, see-through dresses and loads of leather across clothing and accessory categories.
LANVIN
The French luxury fashion house is known for seamlessly blending traditional and modern design techniques with sophisticated, timeless aesthetics for each seasonal collection the brand unveils.
SANTONI
The latest in pumps, boots, sneakers and more from popular designers at great value. Each handmade pair of Italian shoes are classics for any wardrobe, boasting a refined design that embodies the essence of artisanal craftsmanship.
DAVID YURMAN
A symbol of timeless elegance, David Yurman is a luxury jewelry brand known for its exquisite designs and meticulous craftsmanship. From iconic cable bracelets to stunning gemstone necklaces, each piece effortlessly enhances any style or occasion.
And opening just in time for the holiday season comes MAISON MARGIELA (the luxury brand produces both haute couture-inspired artisanal collections and ready-to-wear collections across womenswear, menswear, fine jewelry, footwear and fragrances) and ZIMMERMANN (a luxury fashion label known for its intricate prints and delicate fabrics.
