Designer Brands at Gunwharf Quays

Premium outlets on the waterfront

Gunwharf Quays is the principal destination in the Portsmouth area for designer brand shopping, with a strong selection of premium and luxury outlet stores offering discounted prices on previous seasons' collections and exclusive outlet lines. The complex attracts shoppers from across Hampshire, Sussex, Surrey and beyond who are looking for designer goods at reduced prices.

The fashion offering includes outlets from brands such as Polo Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss, Ted Baker, Joules, Crew Clothing and others, covering menswear, womenswear and childrenswear. Sportswear is well represented with Nike, Adidas and Under Armour outlets among others. Footwear brands include Clarks and various designer shoe stores.

Accessories, beauty products and homeware are also covered, with stores selling sunglasses, watches, fragrances, kitchenware and home furnishings at outlet prices. The range of brands evolves over time as outlets open and close, but the overall offering has remained strong since the complex opened in 2001.

Discounts at outlet stores typically range from 30 to 70 per cent off recommended retail prices, though the actual saving depends on the specific item and brand. End-of-season clearances and additional promotional events can offer deeper reductions. The outlets generally stock a full range of sizes, though popular items in common sizes can sell out quickly.

The waterfront setting of Gunwharf Quays, with its harbour views and the Spinnaker Tower overhead, provides a more attractive shopping environment than many outlet centres, and the adjacent restaurants and cafes offer convenient breaks during a shopping visit.
