Off Fifth Saks Fifth Avenue Outlet

Meh. I’ve been to quite a few Off Fifth Saks in my days, and this was probably one of the most meh/​average/​okay one I’ve been to. First off, their handbag section is a huge hot mess. I LOVE handbags. It broke my little heart seeing all the expensive name brand bags sitting in piles on the floor.
The brands that they carry are those of a typical Saks. Things were well discounted, though weirdly things were cheaper online (
) than in the store, so that was disappointing. Though it was a mess, they have an extensive handbag collection, going from the typical MK, Coach and going to Balanciaga and Furla.
For the novice shopper, this store may be a tad overwhelming. But if you take the time to dig around a little, or have your eye on specific brands, there are definitely some good deals to be found!

Great store if you have a lot of time to browse. Particularly the clearance racks. You can get some great designers clothes and shoes for a terrific price. It’s best if you know your prices though. Some things can look quite expensive unless you know what they really retailed for. It am perfectly satisfied when I go to wrentham outlets to just go to off fifth saks fifth avenue and Bloomingdales outlet.

Not impressed at all. I felt overwhelmed like walking into a higher end building 19 of some sort. Not very organized, smells musty. The prices are not great. There was a coach tablet case for $ 50, opened box. The bags are all in piles on tables. Very yardsale-​ish.

Off 5^th must be a dream to those penny pinching designer clothes fanatics. I, on the other hand, call it a huge tease. Being in an outlet mall most likely suggests that a store offers way better prices, deals, savings… how many more ways can I say it? Off 5^th does none of those things. Everything is still very pricey, even the more chintzy items, where better quality can be found at Gap or Bed Bath & Beyond. They have a «More» rewards card that gives you points, the more you buy… duh. The employees are usually pleasant and the store itself, is usually vacant everytime I’ve gone in. If I’m looking for something specific, going to Off 5^th can be fun… that is, only if I don’t flip over the price-​tag of something I really want & see triple figures!

This place is hit or miss for me. However, my daughter, the household fashionista, dreams about it. They carry lots of WildFox, and it is almost allways on sale. Similar higher-​end brands. I even bought a Lauren Moschi t shirt for myself on my last visit (the big t-​Zebra one). I’m so cool, aren’t I?

This is one of the worst Off Saks I’ve been to.
I came here around the end of January to pick up a birthday present for my mom. I couldn’t find anything! All the shoes were ratty and out of style. The clothing was even worse. Even the home ware section was desolate.
I did end up trying on a gorgeous gold with emerald faced Michael Kors watch that I fell in love with. For $ 125, it was a steal but I decided not to spend my money on me.
The sales are not as good as the one at the Merrimac outlets (not sure why they are different) and the selection is even worse.

You can find a lot of decent pieces if you dig a little bit. Some prices are still pretty steep but you will also find a lot of great prices for some things that aren’t too off-​season.
Employees are friendly. Dressing rooms are pretty big.
Great contemporary clothing and costume jewelry selection. Shoe department is not that big, but I found a few like-​able items. Not like-​able enough to purchase though.
There are always coupons as well! You will score even deeper discounts if you use them. If you don’t have any, the cashiers are usually nice enough to let you know about them and use theirs.
I got the Viktor Rolf Flowerbomb perfume here at the discounted price and was able to use a coupon on it!

oh my gosh, 30−50% off most items yesterday PLUS with my 10% customer coupon i saved a lot of cash. ON TOP OF THE DISCOUNTS, there was a buy 2 pay for 1 special on designer bags. We scored an FCUK leather jacket, Juicy Couture dress, French Connection Dress, Marc Jacobs bag, JPK bag and a few other items for UNDER 400.00! Our shopping trip lasted 30 minutes. We left elated and soon, will be styling.

I agree with Winnie K. Hit or miss, but it’s always, always, always worth a look. The sunglasses section is my absolute favorite. I have found a great pair of sunglasses on my last three visits. Oliver Peoples, Fendi and just last night a pair of David Yurman’s. Even my picky husband found a great pair of sunglasses last night as well. The best part of all is that they always have a case that’s an exact designer match to the sunglasses. The only caveat to shopping here is more often than not you have a not-​so-​polite salesperson. It happens more often than not and most times it’s pretty hard to ignore their blatant poor behavior. At one point, after discovering from another shopper that this is pretty much the norm in Off Fifth, I boycotted. Then when the Bloomingdale’s Outlet opened I decided to give Off Fifth another try. The first two visits were great, but then last night’s visit was scary, with a salesperson saying something so incredibly rude to my husband and I that I still can’t get it out my mind. I have complained to the store manager time and time again, but to no avail. Sometimes those horrible sales people slip through the cracks and I guess all you can do is ignore them because Off Fifth is for certain worth a visit.

Wrentham is wonderful. Off Fifth is also wonderful. Scored a pair of Versace Vanitas Bow Soft Square sunglasses at a fraction of the retail price… beautiful sunnies, nice carrying case (with cloth inside), and a sparkly silver box. Yup. The power of Wrentham and Saks. I love the combination.
There were also a ton of other designer sunglasses there – Coach, D&G, Burberry, Kate Spade, Gucci, etc. Whatever floats your luxury boat, you’ll find it here… for significantly less. There are obviously clothes, shoes, and other accessories here as well. I just had a particular sunglass mission in mind when I came in – a rather sharp shopping strategy, if I do say so myself.
Anyway, while you’re here, give it a whirl. It’s a bit separated from the rest of the Wrentham outlet stores, but it’s worth a look!

It’s Hit or Miss here, Sometimes I have great luck, sometimes I have no luck & last night I had no luck, They have a great selection of premium denim & sunglasses. They are at a reasonable discount for them.
You just have to hit it just right, to get a great savings, sign up for their emails too, you may get some coupons from time to time.

You can really find great designer and other high end unique clothing and accessories here at a discount, and the clearance deals are amazing if you hit it right! Great shoes and bags as well as coats and jackets.

This is my favorite department chain ever! Burberry to Gucci and then back again for more! My one regret is not having purchased a Novacheck shirtdress which was on the clearance rack a few years back. Live and learn!
Sometimes you can get some awesome deals on shoes too! I love beautiful things… but my budget is a dictator and retail is strictly prohibited;)

Four stars for having the best selection of premium denim for sale! I got a pair of Hudsons (originally $ 176 for $ 92. They had plenty of sizes in lots of styles, lots of brands (Seven, Citizens, etc.).
I also picked up a pair of dressy black shoes for the hubs — some sophisticated Cole Hans for $ 80, originally $ 100!
I was also looking for boots, but the women’s shoe section was pretty sad.
Overall, a great place for premium denim!

Visited Wrentham Outlets and needed time to think before purchasing Coach flats for $ 130.00 — could not stop thinking about them so had them shipped to me and decided to grab another colored pair as well! Turns out I got 40% off and 2^nd day ship was only $ 20 bucks. Kristin in the shoe dept was a HUGE help and she was so nice! She made sure she gave Fedex the package herself (I have had problems with this in the past so I appreciated that) and provided the track # for me. They arrived a day early! SO excited!

Not a super bargain by any means, but you can also find designer items here that are classic enough that it doesn’t matter that they’re from another season… or they’re irregularly sized… or something.
A surplus of Seven for All Mankind, Joe’s, and Rock & Republic jeans, which are $ 50ish dollars cheaper here than at a store in Copley or Chestnut Hill.
I was psyched to grab a couple ed hardy t-​shirts for under $ 60 each, and a nice pair of BCBG dress pants.

I’ve been here probably three times over the past year and have found the same sad items hanging on the clearance racks for the same price. Send last year’s clearance stuff to Building 19, already! For example, three pairs of Tory Burch clear plastic flats in an unbearably small size 5 from about three summers ago selling there for $ 140.
I’ve bought items here thinking, woo! I got a great deal, but then like my fellow Unilocaler below only to dismally realize the same item is hanging on a TJMaxx rack for half the price. Unfortunately for this off Fifth, the brands that I usually go to Saks for (Theory, True Religion, etc) each have their own store at Wrentham with more glorified selections and slightly better prices.

One of those places that you just wish was better. Prices are OK but the stuff seems old and decrepit. I’ve browsed a gazillion times and never bought a thing

Off Fifth has a pretty good selection of designer handbags and clothes. The prices are still really high, but occasionally you will find a good deal. This past weekend, I scored a Micheal Kors winter coat there for 50% off!
The people who work there are also VERY nice.
Update ¾/​08 — Just saw my Micheal Kors coat at Marshalls. For way less than I paid for it.

Meh. The nice things are still outrageously expensive. The clearance rack has fugly stuff on it. Occasionally, can find deals, but also have to dig.
