FASHIONPHILE Pop-Up At Carlsbad Premium Outlets

I was hosted by The Carlsbad Premium Outlets, however all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hi girls! I hope you are all having a great week! I’m spilling a major secret today… ready?

I buy all my designer handbags pre-owned!

There are a few reasons, but the top three are: 1. You can save tons of money buying second hand. 2. It’s better for the environment and 3. I can find the specific bags I’m looking for that may be a season or two old. So when I found out that my favorite online retailer for used luxury items, FASHIONPHILE, was having their first ever pop up shop I couldn’t wait to check it out! I love FASHIONPHILE because I know their bags are 100% authentic and thoroughly inspected. Their pop-up shop occupys over 3,000 square feet at The Carlsbad Premium Outlets and features pre-owned ultra-luxury handbags, fine jewelry, and accessories you can shop in person.

The FASHIONPHILE pop-up shop has such a fun, trendy vibe! In addition to the gorgeous luxury items, there is an entire Birkin wall (closet goals!) and a ton of pink balloons. The massive balloon installation was done by world-renowned contemporary artist Jihan Zencirli, aka Geronimo Balloons, so you know it’s amazing! Throughout the month of December they will be having different events in there including complimentary chocolate tastings with Chuao Chocolatier (another local favorite), accessory personalizations, and fireside chats with authors and other bloggers. I will definitely be back for one of those!

The FASHIONPHILE pop-up is definitely a great opportunity to take advantage of!  I have had my eye on a Louis Vuitton Keepall Travel Bag forever and I was so excited that they had one in store so I could hold it and try it on my arm before I invested in one. They have multiple online, but the one in store was in great condition for about 30% off retail! I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since I visited. There was also a Gucci purse that I thought I was interested in from browsing online, but turns out I don’t actually love it as much in person. This pop-up shop is an amazing time to see and hold the bags, especially since most stores only sell new bags and there are so many fakes on other websites (again, FASHIONPHILE’s bags are 100% authentic).

Shopping the sales and buying pre-owned is a great way to stick to your budget this holiday season! The Carlsbad Premium outlets are having The Ultimate Holiday Outlet Sale from December 6th-24th. Some of the additional offers I am most interested in are: 40% storewide at Adidas, 10% off a purchase of $30 or more at The Disney Outlet, and 20% off a single item at Levi’s. I love a good sale!

Be sure to stop by The Carlsbad Premium Outlets to check out the FASHIONPHILE pop-up shop and for all your Christmas Shopping! I have another post all about the holiday festivities at the outlets here.

Have a great weekend!
