Hopping the pond for a bargain might not seem particularly savvy, or
even sane, particularly if London is your destination. But Bicester
Village just outside of the city is offering some compelling incentives.
This outlet mall (the title may conjure images of fanny packs and dollar
stores, but really, with stores like YSL, Mulberry, and Fendi, it's more
of a fantastic shopping center that happens to have a great year-round
sale) just opened the third installment of its wildly popular British
Design Collective pop up (through May 9th).Under the oversight of the Collective's ambassador, Alexa Chung (above), the store is offering deep discounts on big-name British designers like Jonathan Saunders and Preen as well as wares from the country's biggest emerging talents--pieces you'd be hard-pressed to find stateside.
Here's a preview of what you can score:
