Well if it's bags or cases your after, Bags Galore is the place to go! The shop stocks a large…read morerange of shoulder bags at reasonable prices as well as an even larger range of suitcases. The prices are cheaper than you would expect to pay in a non outlet store e.g. there was a really good hard shell case reduced from £100 to £49.50 Bags galore also stock a large selection of flight bags with styles to suit everyones taste. I fell in love with a beautiful leather holdall which was reduced from £215 to £149 - perhaps I can ask for it as a birthday present! They also had a good variety of briefcases with prices ranging from £40 to £80.

The only decent place in the area to go for skate and surf wear. For such a small shop there are…read morelots of items to choose from including clothes, accessories, skateboards, watches..etc.. Prices are high since items are of well known brands but this cant be blamed on the shop itself as it is often cheaper than many larger retailers.

Considering the size of this smaller Topshop store, there is a surprisingly wide selection of…read morefashionable items on sale. They have an excellent range of jewellery and I particularly like the cute sock designs they sell. :) However, to be honest I think for what you get, prices are quite high, and generally I wait until there's a sale on before I buy anything. ;) you'll find some bargins. :)

Great store for woman's clothes and a lovely colourful range to choose from; all styles from casual…read moreto very smart and evening wear. Some of the tops and dresses have attractive embroidery and bead work and there are several racks of jewellery, scarves, belts and other accessories to add to a coordinated look. A great selection of coats and jackets as well. I was there today and delighted to see many sale items (75% off many things) and many great bargains on offer (I bought a beautiful coat for only £15!!) Helpful pleasant staff too (which always helps in my view)!

Bridgend Designer Outlet, or McArthur Glen, as some people still seem to know it, is a strange…read moreplace just off the M4 heading towards Bridgend. I remember when it first opened; it was very, very exciting. For the first time South Wales has a selection of designer outlet stores, ranging through everything. From Cadbury to M&S, from Revlon to Whittard, and from Cotton Traders to Animal. The choice was endless. Then the excitement soon wore off, when we realised that these were just normal high street stores with things either substandard or just a little bit cheaper. This is a collection of all that is unwanted from the other shops. That being said, you can pick up some really good bargains from this place, especially from Bookends and some of the sports and camping gear shops. This is a good place to come to if you're after functional items, but not really the kind of place which is going to wow you with its selection of wonderful boutiques. There is also a cinema and food court on site, so you can make a day of it (if there's really nothing better to do). This place getting heaving when it's raining outside.

This is outlet store is both fantastic and highly annoying at the same time. Firstly if your after…read moreanything outdoorsy then this is a fantastic place to come, there are loads of stores dedicated to walking, skying ect. If you are shopping for fashion I would say don't bother. There are the likes of Gap, CK where you can get some decent basics but not really your going out on Saturday night stuff. Gift shopping is pretty good here and I also seem to make a trip up at Christmas time. Its only 20 minutes from Cardiff so worth a trip and there's plenty of parking and open late for hassle free shopping. Its also has a large food court with KFC, Pizza Hut, Jacket Potatoes, Pies, a cafe and more.
