Store highlights at Cincinnati Premium Outlets
HanesBrands
is three times the size of its outlet store in Jeffersonville and carries the entire Champion line and an expanded Hanes line. There’s a Last Chance Clearance Center, too.
The Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store is huge — 15,000 square feet — and the largest Polo outlet store in the company. This attractive store carries men's and women's shoes and has a room devoted to kids' fashions. The popular mesh tops that retail for $79 elsewhere sell for $39.99 here.
Maidenform Women's Apparel, Brown Shoe Closet (Aigner, Franco Sarto) and Columbia Sportswear Company are all the first of their kind in Ohio. So is Kenneth Cole, which stocks both men's and women's shoes, handbags, men's ties, watches, fragrances and graphic tees.
Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th closed at Cincinnati Mall (formerly Forest Fair) and opened at Monroe. If you're into fancy labels, this is the place for you: Ellen Tracy, Burberry, Marc Jacobs, Carlos Fachi, Valentino, Escada, Chanel, St. John, Christian Dior. You get the idea.
“It’s a lovely store but still really expensive,” shopper Kolleck said. “I saw a $2,000 blouse marked down to $1,000 and a $2,900 purse marked down to $1,700.”
But we found less expensive items as well: bracelets marked down to $34.99, a sequined $256 top for $52.98.
To date, this mall has slim pickings when it comes to housewares and home furnishings. The big attraction is Le Creuset, the enameled cast iron French cookware that's in the news with the film release of "Julie & Julia." You'll see Julia Child's favorite pots and pans in a variety of colors (she used the orange or "flame") in Ohio's only outlet store. Most items are "seconds" with minor cosmetic flaws. If you're lucky, you'll also find some "firsts." All carry a lifetime guarantee. There's an extensive line of kitchen gadgets as well — from olive ladles to Screwpulls.
Riley's Furniture Gallery is a local company that also has a retail store in the vicinity. It sells the Stressless line of recliners from Norway and Howard Miller clocks.
Cole Haan's outlet store is the only one in Ohio. The company got its start in 1928 as a men's shoe store in Chicago, and now sells traditional men's and women's shoes with a "modern twist." Now owned by Nike, the women's shoes have Nike air technology built into high-heeled pumps. In order to offer deals, calfskin may be substituted for deerskin or treated to look like exotic leathers.
Marin Cilic from Croatia was just one of the Masters tennis players who'd found his way to Hugo Boss the day we visited. He said he and others came to America with empty suitcases so they could "fill them up." The upscale men's store, in temporary headquarters, stocks suits from $600 to $800 and an assortment of men's accessories and sportswear separates as well.
If you're a "Project Runway" fan, you'll know the name of designer Michael Kors. This outlet's the first in our region, selling apparel, handbags and the trench coats and aviator glasses for which Kors is famous.
