Supre is one of those places in which you can often find cute stuff, but somehow you are unwilling to let people know that you shop there. That was the general attitude among my peers to the store years ago, but now that we are older, it is basically a cardinal sin to be seen anywhere near the place. I don't know what poor Supre did to deserve such a bad rap, but when one of my friends suggested we make a trip to the factory outlet she had to clarify that she was, in fact, not kidding. So a group of us decided to brave it together.
We arrived at the shop to find at least 20 racks stuffed full of clothing on sale for $2.50. Everything was obviously dramatically reduced, and most of that was winter stuff, but a dress for $2.50 is a dress for $2.50. After spending a fair chunk of time outside we ventured in to the massive warehouse to be greeted by what must have been hundreds of racks jammed closely together all struggling under the weight of the clothing they were supporting.
Some of Supre's clothes are great, while others are not made very well. When you go to a place like this I always feel that you'll be rewarded if you're willing to take the time to sort through the racks and unearth things that could masquerade as costing a lot more. I ended up trying on at least 20 items and buying seven, mostly basic items such as t-shirts, which came to the grand total of $17.50. We were shocked to get in the car and realise we'd been there for almost two hours, but it was a worthwhile trip. read more
