La Senza

Kind of weird for a guy to be reviewing a lingerie shop, but it’s late at night and I’m bored. Been here only once to get a gift for my girlfriend, definitely won’t be the last time. Store size is very big, doubt you’ll walk out of here with nothing.
Nice idea for a Valentine’s Day gift, anniversary or if you’re in the mood to treat your girl. There’s ample selection of lingerie that won’t break your wallet, bras range from $ 9.99 to $ 12.99, panties are about $ 3 – 4. She downright loved my purchase and I was ecstatic seeing her wear it after. In terms of comfort, I won’t be reviewing that!

There are only 2 La Senza Outlet Stores in GTA: Heartland in Mississauga and Brook Road in Pickering.
I had been shopping at this Pickering location for years when it was not even officially an outlet store.
I like everything is really organized by size and selection. I never need to hunt bargains by going over bins and bins of stuff that’s not even my size! Bras and lounge wear going for $ 9.99 or so and there always tons of sizes!
Staff always helpful as they always ask every single customer that walked in if they need any help.
All sales are final, no refunds or exchange. There is ample change rooms to try on items before buying.

umm. hello sugar! why did I not go here before?!! This outlet is KICK ASS PANTY awesome! They have pretty much similar stuff in the «real» stores at a fraction of the price! Bras are mostly $ 10 or $ 12.everything from sexy to practical. You seriously cannot go wrong in here. I love how everything is organized by size… super easy to find exactly what you are looking for and there is no need to dig through boxes for bras (yes you have to do that for the undies… but hey. life ain’t perfect!). I bought 4 bras, a tshirt, a nightgown/​slip thingy and 2 bra jewellery (this thing that you can wear as a necklace but then attach to the back of your bra when wearing low back shirts so you have some sparkle on your back — they were $ 2 each… reg price was $ 30!!!) and the entire bill with taxes came to $ 90! oh my senza!

I can’t believe I haven’t written a review for this location, considering I’ve been getting deep discounts and savings here for YEARS. This La Senza is located on Brock Road near the Sobeys and PetSmart end of the plaza.
In recent years, I’ve moved away from La Senza for bras as they just don’t carry my size and I prefer another retailer. However, its hard not to get sucked in here when you come by because the deals are always so very very good. Given, you may have a hard time finding exactly what you want in exactly your size, but they have so much selection, you’ll probably find something else while you’re looking.
Be warned that they do NOT take the Prestige card or coupons at this location — and can you blame them? I came in here last week just to browse and of course, ended up walking out with something (actually 3 somethings: D). The nice thing about this outlet store is that they DO let you try things on and the staff here is very willing to help and doesn’t mind if you’re trying stuff on 10 minutes before close (as I always am).
Picture this: racks and racks (and more racks than you can imagine) of teddies, lingerie, robes, pajamas, clothes, more robes, more teddies, and bras bras bras as far as the eye can see! Years ago, this store wasn’t as well laid out and organized as it is now. There are very clear signs everywhere that tell you the size on the rack and its much easier to find what you’re looking for. As someone who’s looking for a difficult size to find, there was a LOT of selection in my size.
And then picture this: a sea of underwear, boxes upon boxes upon boxes for you to sift through. They have really good deals on multiples for underwear here so be sure to check it out. This is the time to get some of those fancier pairs you don’t want to pay $ 12 for but when they’re 1.99 for rhinestone encrusted underwear, who can pass that up?! This is the location to go to get a special outfit to wear for that someone special, and it won’t break the bank. Lingerie that normally costs upwards of $ 60 is always priced at $ 19.99 here.
All in, you cant go wrong at this location. I suggest avoiding it on boxing day altogether since the line reaches to the end of the store (and this store is about the size of your average child’s gymnasium and then some) but other than that, you should have a rather pleasant shopping experience here. Great staff, great deals, you can’t beat it!

As I walked in the door, to blazing signs of all that was on sale, I thought, «why didn’t I know about this place?!»
My mind responded with «uhhh, because we never go to Narnia (Pickering)». Touché mind.
This outlet is massive. One half of the store covers every bra size imaginable*. The middle of the store covers underwear and the other wall covers pajama sets galore. And yet, as large as it was, it was extremely clean and bright. Bras are lined up perfectly and you’ll rarely have a problem of finding another size under a printed sign. They had every colour of the rainbow that it would be difficult for you to walk out of this store empty handed.
The deal at the time was 2 bras for $ 20 plus an additional 30% off. That’s around $ 7 a bra. Pretty great for the budget fashionista.
My friend and I walked in, unknowingly 15 minutes before the store was closing. You wouldn’t know it though. The sales people were amazingly nice. A girl at the change rooms patiently checked my friend’s size and let her know that she could check it again as she tried on different styles of bras. She fetched other sizes when we needed her to and not once rushed my friend’s buying process.
Another salesperson helped us in the pajamas area with the same patience and kindness as the other. At one point I thought, «why the heck are they being so nice?! Don’t they want to go home??» My mind didn’t have a response for that one. It was equally dumbfounded.
When we got to the cash, the cashier checked us out efficiently but made small talk and jokes with ease.
If you’re looking to save a little money and don’t mind the trek to Pickering, I highly suggest this outlet. The sales are too amazing to pass up and you could stock up on some everyday items for a lot less than the regular stores.
* And by bra size, I mean normal society bra sizes you would find in a La Senza.
