Prada Outlet at Desert Premium Hills Outlet in Cabazon

First, let me start out by saying that we went to the Prada Outlet three times in one day so I got pretty familiar with it! Luckily, we went on a weekday so there wasn’t any line and it was easy to get in and out. The story behind this is that my friend recently got her purse stolen while we were having dinner in Downtown Los Angeles. We were sitting on the patio and literally, a guy just came and yanked it off her chair and then ran! Well, fast-forward to today, we decided that we were going to go to the outlets and hopefully find her a good deal on a new bag.

This was our very first time at the Prada Outlet so we took our time browsing around. Apparently, from what the sales associate told me, this is the largest Prada store (including retail stores) by square footage. Since we had the whole day at the outlets, we decided to go visit some other stores to see if anything else would catch her eye. During our second time back, my friend narrowed it down to two items: a beautiful canvas backpack or a leather embossed boho bag. She still couldn’t decide so we decided to walk around the outlets again. Finally, on our third visit, she finally decided on the boho bag in the color black!

So, I would definitely say the shopping trip was a success. My friend got her first Prada bag ever and she loves it. I’m usually not a Prada person myself, but surprisingly there were a lot of cute items. If I weren’t trying to save money, that Prada backpack that my friend was also looking at would have definitely come home with me lol!

 

PRADA OUTLET DISCOUNT

I spoke to a sales associate and they told me that most of the items are 40-60% off depending on the department. After doing some calculations below myself, I would say the discounts usually fall somewhere more in between 30%-60% off. A good thing to note is that there’s a special sale section in the back by the cash register that has additional discounts on bags/purses. So, make sure you ask a sales associate to show you the way. Lastly, I noticed that a lot of the clothes and shoes also have additional percentages off on their price tags. It’ll show you the outlet price, then the additional percentage off, and then the final price.

 

PRADA OUTLET STYLES VS. RETAIL STYLES

When speaking to the sales associate, she confirmed that nothing was specially made for the outlets like Stuart Weitzman and Burberry. Everything at the Prada Outlet comes from their retail location. She mentioned that they are mostly stocked up with past season items as far back as three years ago.

 

PRADA OUTLET LOCATION 

The Prada Outlet that I visited is located at the Desert Hills Premium Outlets in the city of Cabazon which is near Palm Springs. The store is located on the east side of the mall where all the other luxury brands are. Also, the store is actually quite close to the parking structure so it’s best if you can find a space there.

 

PRADA OUTLET REFUND POLICY

You have 14 days to exchange, receive store credit, or receive a refund to the original payment. It is important to note that the Prada Outlet counts your purchase date as one of the 14 days. This policy is definitely more generous than other luxury stores that only do exchanges.

 

PRADA OUTLET CUSTOMER SERVICE

Since we came back three times, a lot of the employees started recognizing us. The front door greeter even joked saying, “Welcome, back!” We got a different sales associate each time and all of them were great. We wanted to give credit to the person that helped us the most but the cashier said that as the guest, we shouldn’t worry about that. Even if that is so, we always try to give credit where credit is due. We did point her out, but who knows if she got any credit in the end. Also, this store is one of the few places that actually picks up the phone so they get brownie points just for that!

PRADA OUTLET WAIT TIMES

Just to mention again, we went on a weekday so there was almost no wait time. It was super easy to get in and had no problems coming back later. With that being said, I have been there on a weekend and I’ve since the line gets as long as 30-40 people. If you plan on coming on the weekend, just make sure you plan ahead and bring water and sunscreen. You are most likely going to wait outside in the hot sun.

 

MIU MIU OUTLET

I’m not going to talk much about it here but just wanted to mention that they sell Miu Miu items here too. Miu Miu is a subsidiary of Prada so it would make sense to just share space rather than have their own Miu Miu store.
