Score great goods at affordable prices from the best factory outlets in Perth
With how high the inflation rate is these days, it’s getting harder for me to make the most of my salary. So much so, in fact, that I have no choice but to avert my eyes whenever I spot the latest shoes and clothes while strolling Hay Street!
Thankfully, there’s another way for me to be on trend without making my wallet cry: factory outlets! Some of the goods here may have tiny imperfections, but honestly, who even notices that?
Here are some noteworthy factory outlets in Perth you should check out!

Thankfully, we don’t need to travel far to buy our discounted items. Watertown Brand Outlet Centre, located a few hundred metres from the RAC Arena, is a shopping mall that houses over 100 retailers.
That includes well-known brands like Adidas, Calvin Klein, and Fila. What’s great is that this mall frequently offers special sales and promotions, allowing you to enjoy significant discounts on specific days!
Should you feel hungry during your shopping spree, there are also a couple of restaurants and cafes to be found here. Even better, the mall also has complimentary wheelchairs and parents’ rooms where parents can feed, change diapers, or simply take a break in private.
Sadly, a lot of people know this is the place to get the best deals, so be prepared to deal with huge crowds almost any day.
Pros
- Easily accessible
- Over 100 retailers
- Offers special deals
- Complimentary wheelchairs
- Break rooms for parents
Cons
- Tends to get overcrowded
- Shops have different business hours

“It has the best sales in Perth. Every week there is a different sale. Some stores have up to 70% off. It’s especially great for mens shopping with a variety of stores. For the ladies there are so many stores for young and not so young. Stores include Valley Girl, Mimco, Forevernew, Cotton on, City Chic, Typo, Pumpkin patch, Ollies, Rip Curl, Review, Addairs, Soho, Ed Harry and so so much more.”

Another factory outlet mall worth visiting is DFO Perth, which is conveniently located at Perth Airport. With over 100 stores, it has become one of Perth’s most popular shopping centres since its inception in 2018.
Of course, the best thing about it is its year-round discounts of up to 70% on premium brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Calvin Klein. It also has restaurants and cafes where you can take a break and relax.
Aside from these stores, I also love its amenities like free Wi-Fi and a fully enclosed playground where kids can burn off their energy while you shop.
Unsurprisingly, this mall tends to get crowded quickly due to its location. If you don’t like crowds, make sure to check out this handy tool first to see which times there are fewer people here.

- Offers special deals
- Free Wi-Fi

If footwear is what you’re looking for, then come check out Converse’s own factory outlets. With two locations in Perth, I find it extremely easy to buy their cool products at amazingly low prices.
Here, you can pretty much buy almost every product they’ve released so far, whether it be high-tops, low-tops, or specialty collections like the classic Chuck Taylors.
What’s nice is that you don’t actually need to physically visit any of their two stores to buy their discounted goods since they have delivery services. In fact, orders that are worth $75 or more are entitled to free express delivery!
Furthermore, they also have “buy now, pay later” payment plans available, courtesy of Afterpay.
Sadly, it’s disappointing to hear that some of their staff acted rudely towards customers, especially in matters concerning refunds or returns.
Pros
- Two locations in Perth
- Sells almost every Converse products
- Free express delivery for orders costing $75 and above
- Buy now, pay later
Cons
- Some rude staff
- Meagre discounts on some products
There is a lot of choice at very good prices

4. Macpac Perth Factory Outlet

Another specific factory outlet brand that’s worth visiting is Macpac, the outdoor equipment and clothing brand that originated in New Zealand.
As expected, their outlet store has plenty of products available in-store and online, like tents, sleeping bags, insulated jackets, and hiking boots. Due to the rugged conditions these items are designed for, it’s almost always a given that they’re quite sturdy and durable.
If you still have doubts, don’t worry. Macpac has lengthy warranties for its products that can sometimes last for up to 15 years!
Furthermore, they also accept returns for up to 60 days if you’re not satisfied with what you’ve bought.
Sadly, it seems the discounts here aren’t that special; you find them in regular Macpac stores. Aside from a couple of products, most discounted items here can also be found in other branches.
Pros
- Wide range of outdoor living products
- Lengthy warranty coverage
- 60-day returns
- Buy now, pay later
Cons
- Warranty doesn’t cover non-Macpac products
- Most discounted items here can be found in regular Macpac stores
Awesome customer service here
“Awesome customer service here.
Came in for a couple of pairs of their merino hiking socks and left with a water bottle as well”
-Rachael Breen, Google Reviews
I had a great experience
“I had a great experience, with both staff being involved in fitting me out with a quality pack, it didn’t hurt that it was on special either.”

If you’re looking to do a major home makeover soon, then Sheridan Outlet might be worth visiting. With six locations in Perth, this factory outlet offers linens and home accessories at up to 80% off retail prices.
You can either buy their products in-store or online. Both options have “buy now, pay later” payment plans in case you’re on a tight budget.
Aside from their impressive product lineup, I also love that they have a VIP membership for loyal customers. It has plenty of neat perks included, like free standard deliveries, even more discounts, and special gifts on your birthday.
Furthermore, I appreciate that they have a recycling program for used linens. Customers who donate their old ones will be given special discount coupons.
However, it’s disappointing to learn that some of their staff acted rudely towards clients.
Pros
- Wide range of linens and home accessories
- Buy now, pay later
- VIP membership
- Linen recycling program
Cons
- Some rude staff
- Some products have noticeable defects
