Who Are We?
The Outlet is a Guernsey-based retailer offering big brand name and designer products for less. With incredible all year round discounts, The Outlet is bringing excitement back to the high street.
The shop is owned and run by Matt Grange. Matt brings with him 15 years’ worth of experience in fashion merchandising, having spent the past eight years working in the head offices of British fashion houses Burberry and Alfred Dunhill and his early career with high-street brands Monsoon, BHS and New Look.
After the 2020 lockdown scuppered Matt’s new role at an international shoe brand, he returned with his wife to her home island of Guernsey. Having visited the island over twenty times over the past eight years, Matt had often considered opening a shop there but knew it would be difficult to compete with both existing retailers and online sales. However, with shops closed for the entirety of the spring period, Matt knew there would be a significant amount of past season stock available after lockdown, and it was from this that the idea that The Outlet came.
How Do We Work?
When a designer or retailer overproduces or overbuys for a season, they end up with overstock. We buy this overstock at a discounted rate and pass the savings onto you. Some of our stock will be current season and some will be from previous seasons; all of it is brand new and represents amazing value, with up to 70% off of the recommended retail price.
Rather than buying seasonally, we buy throughout the year so have new brand-name, high-street and designer products arriving every few weeks. This shop model means that we usually only have one of each item, so if you love it, act fast! Also, due to the restrictions of buying authentic outlet stock, we are not able to sell online, so come and visit us in store and see what treasures you can find.
