Fairydown Outlet Shop ChCh
Original post
If you are after a bargain head to the Fairydown outlet shop. Its in Southwark street just off Manchester St, they are getting low on things like sleeping bags (only really summery ones left), but if you are after a really nice Gortex jacket they have them cheap as chips, most things are about half RRP.
Are they actually called The Fairydown Shop? I thought that name was trademarked. I also thought the Firm called Fairydown had closed down. Correct me if I am mistaken.
From what i gather by the flyer/letter thing they gave me it was called the fairydown outlet shop? but cant be 100% on that, they also told me they were bringing in new season stuff, making it sound like they were still producing items?
A quick update.
The fairydown clearance store is still open with a decent range. Heaps of Jackets.
They have also started a proper retail store on Colombo street. Both new season and old stock.

What was that quote - the report of my death was an exaggeration - Mark Twain? Or in this case the death of Fairydown was exaggerated.

I bought a down jacket there for $85 the other day. At that price, I couldn't go past it. It's one of those neon blue light downies that so many people went out and bought when they were selling for $120. Apparently this last lot they found in the warehouse one day. Really enjoying it. Very light and warm.
