Loehmann’s

Unfortunately, this location has just closed down. Loehmann’s is an incredible department store for designer clothing but has gone through much restructuring and rumors of bankruptcy are looming.
I for one am still a huge Loehmann’s fan and will continue to attempt to keep them alive by emptying out my wallet. The savings are tremendous compared to other stores and the same high-​end items that you would find in Nordstrom, Macy’s and even Neiman Marcus.

I need to be restrained when I go in here.
They’ve got some good finds but you can’t be afraid to shuffle through hangers and untie a few spaghetti straps.
It also helps to know how to work the deals.
A. Sign up for the preferred shoppers card– 10% off on your first purchase when signing up. 10% off a purchase during the month of your birthday.
B. Use it always and frequently scan your mail for their flyers which can sometimes offer up to 30% additional off.
C. Ask if they’re giving out coupons– they’re valuable, sometimes good off 20% of your ENTIRE purchase the next time you go in.
D. They now have a diamond members card available if you spend enough there and it’s good for an extra 10% off of all your purchases, everyday… some days it’s even valid for more off. Exp: prior to father’s day, their men’s wear was all an additional 30% off with the diamond club card. Score!
I love this place with a passion. It’s not clean, organized, or friendly. You gotta work for it and I totally respect that, it makes the end result seem sooo much more rewarding.

So like other designer discount joints, the selection can be hit or miss. And like other stores, they’re the best in between seasons when it seems like EVERYTHING goes on clearance and it can be a free-​for-​all (though not [i]free[/i], but sometimes close).
I always find great deals on LeSportsac bags here. The last time I found a hard-​to-​find Tokidoki bag, as well as an armful of clothes on clearance (Juicy dress reduced from $ 350 to $ 65, Fred Perry sweater and high tops among the gems).
The men’s section here isn’t as good as the Loehmann’s in Northbrook or the Nordstrom’s Rack next door, so check those locations out if you’re looking for dude stuff.
I don’t usually go to Loehmann’s with one article in mind, this is a better place if a) you’re a lady, and b) you have $ 50+ to spend and/​or c) and you need to let off some steam and need a shopping fix.

I LOVE coming here. The bargains you can get for designer clothes (especially jeans… I’m a wee bit addicted to denim) are amazing! I also have a hard time leaving without buying a pair of shoes or a handbag. I forewarn… if you’re prone to drop a dime when you see good deals, be careful b/​c there are a lot of them here!

loehmanns gets me giddy… just thinking about all the quality fashion at super low prices is what my dreams are made of!
so you think this is like a T.J. Maxx? think again sweetheart! i’m talking about fashion, honest to goodness trendy clothing with an established name… nothing for the masses is found here. more like a neiman marcus outlet if i had to say so myself.
only thing is it’s either hit or miss… sometimes i find designer clothing more meant for my mother or grandmother, rather than a fashionable girl like myself.

Who doesn’t love a good deal?
Coming out to suburbia from the city usually means that I get lost. So for my job interview, I arrived a mere 1hr 45 minute early (better than being late!) and found Loehmann’s. I had heard but never experienced. Wow! I was on a Shopping Diet so I limited myself to a pair of gorgeous heather gray cashmere gloves. So lovely for a mere $ 15.
I love this shop for bargains. And who doesn’t love bargains?

Totally worth the trip out! This place is good, really good. It’s easy to shop because they merchandise like a department store on 4 way fixtures so you don’t have to go through racks and racks of junk. They have great sales, get on their mailing list if you are a serious shopper. Yeah, it can be hit or miss but I usually make out with some great deal (like the $ 120 Marc Jacobs blazer I bought yesterday).

This store is better for girls I think. I have been here before and I thought it was slim pickings for the guy stuff. I didn’t find anything that really appealed to me. I will come back here one day to see if there are any improvements to the stuff for guys but really, I’m not too hopeful. Girls, read the other ladies’ reveiws below and judge for yourself, Guys, I would rather go down the street to Nordstrom’s Rack.

Loehmann’s is a discounted designer store that is good in some ways but not so good in others. The problem with Loehmann’s is that it’s hit or miss, and you really don’t know what you are going to get until you are inside. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes you will walk around looking at junky looking clothing pieces, and other times you will be restraining yourself from buying the entire store. If there was a way to time it when they get new shipments in — that would be ideal! Also I’m really not a big fan of the open dressing room, where you need to strip down in front of everyone else in the dressing room, but I guess you can’t have it all at discounted prices!

Great place to find designer clothing at discount prices! They have a nice selection of designer jeans, skirts, tops, coats, shoes, etc., all merchandise is displayed nicely, and of course, they have their infamous «back room» which has some more expensive designer’s clothing at good prices. As with any discount store, it’s always a hit or miss, but you can usually find some good basic pieces at Loehmann’s. Make sure to sign up for their frequent shoppers card and also give them your email address. They frequently run private sales and send coupons thru email. Also, with the frequent shoppers card you will receive 15% off of all purchases for a 4 day period before and after your birthday. One day last week I stopped there quickly between appointments to look for a sweater, found a cute Free People top that was priced at $ 20, gave the cashier a postcard I had received that was good for that weekend for a «surprise» discount at the cash register, and ended up getting a $ 25 discount, and walked out of the store getting a sweater for absolutely nothing! How cool is that? Almost like winning the lottery. Check it out for yourself!

The coolest place to shop! Loehmann’s sells designer clothes at a discounted price! All the designer jean you could ever need!

They have a pretty good selection of higher-​end clothing lines from department stores for about half the original price. They sell brands like Juicy Couture, Ben Sherman, Gentle Fawn, Theory, Max Studio, and a lot of european designers in the Back Room area. I really like their coats here and their shoes are amazing, prices are a bit steeper than Marshalls/​TJ Maxx but the quality is so much better.
