.

.

.

ME!

ME!

ME!

ME!

ME!

.

.

okay...i guess im the only person yg baru terhegeh2 nak pegi kan...huhuhuhu

yg lain for sure the 1st week of its opening lagie dah menggila mengirai duit kat JPO kan?

;)

ade tue siap selang sehari pegi!!!

sape tue?!?!?! baik ngaku! hahahhaha

.

.

lucky for those who stayed near senai area...mmg dah dekat sgt with JPO...hari2 pon confirm boley pergi...

.

.

as for myself, managed to visit JPO last monday...we had a family vacay to Singapore last week friday...visiting my brother and his family cum bawak my nieces pergi Universal Studios Singapore...

this time cukup corrum!

*superlove*

n on the way back from singapore to kl singgah JPO kejap...

.

.

when we arrived its about 6.45pm...so crowd takde la giler byk sgt...ive saw few ppl post pictures in JPO giler ramai org...kene q panjang sume nak masuk coach, burberry...

mase i pg tue ramai jugak org tp not so crowded la...

even kalau nak q pon tak ramai...take an example nak q masuk coach ade la dlm 6-8ppl infront of us...takes around 7mins camtu...so quite ok...

.

.

love the environment...

the concept sebijik macam the premium outlets in US...

open air...open space...very cosy and laidback

;)

theres prayer room near the foodcourt...and ade babyroom & family room jgk...

paling best foodcourt kat sini suma halal boley makan!

muahhahahahhaa

ye la slalu pergi yg the ones in states...kalau ade food court pon not all boley makan...asyik2 fish n chip je memanjang...hahhaha

itu pon kene tanye batter ape dia gune, minyak ape dia guna...

kalau beer batter and goreng with lard mmg sekian terima kasih je la...

;p

.

.

n surprisingly takde la panas mana pon...

ke sebab i pg lewat petang...so its not that sunny and humid...

so masa i pegi tue very cosy jugak...theres mist fan all over the area...theres covered lounge area if you nak laze around and ppl watching ke...

if u lapar u can go to their food court...

for ice cream theres baskin robbins!

or if u nak have a cup of tea or coffee, theres coffee bean & starbucks yo!!!

;)

.

.

and for dining pon ade kampachi japanese restaurant, absolute thai restaurant

;)

.

.

u can get all the details such as which brands are available, its opening hours, the map how to get there, any ongoing sales etc u can refer at their official website


.

.

but what i can tell u now is that bukan semua shops dah open...the place can accomodate around 160 outlets, but only 80 outlets yg fully operational...so im sure to visit it again sometimes next year

;)

currently yg dah fully operational are as below :

.

.

ok now my verdict, my honest opinion about JPO...

what i think about JPO...

is it worth going!?!?!

is it worth to shop here in JPO?!?!

.

.

first and foremost, to note that the item sold in premium outlets bukan the same item yg jual at the retail boutique currently...

in premium outlets is where all the OFF SEASON item being sold...kire yg last season item tak terjual kat retail boutique, they brought it over to the premium outlet to sell it off with discounted price...

.

and some of it is item yg tak terjual at retail boutique due to damage or quality not as per standard...these only SOME of it...mostly baju2 laaa...

.

and some of the item being sold was purposely manufactured only for premium outlets...yg nie slalu nye macam design sama tapi material and colour lain dari ape yg jual kat retail boutique in KL

.

.

so hope that clarifies

;)

.

and also to note that my opinion is based on my experience...as ive been to few other Premium Outlets in US previously, so i tend to compare the price between them...

minus the flight ticket going to states and accomodation kat sana, kalau compare apple to apple on the item being sold, mmg JPO mahal!!!

.

saw few items yg i beli mase i pg dessert hils premium outlet and woodbury common premium outlet n i remembered the price...the same item being sold in JPO way wayyyy expensive than yg i beli kat US...itu dah campur kire sales tax balabalalabalbala dia sume...still JPO mahal...

.

.

another thing, the ones being sold in JPO takde variety sgt...

design wise...

tak byk design sgt...yg ade jual pon tak menarik sgt...

tak example kasut vincci...murah mmg giler murah! u can get a pair of ballerina for RM15! tp design tak byk! colour limited!

.

.

and paling potong stimmmmmmmmmmm ------> SIZE NAN ADO!!!

yes u might want to blame me for my size...n maybe they go by population where the outlet is located at...asian tk byk yg big2 european size...then again mmg potong stim!

my brothers n sisters sume kecewa giler bile dah suke a certain design nie let say levi's jeans, tgk2 size takde...

mr.doc included...mase kat singapore mmg purposely refrained himself from shopping at the marina bay sands...dia mmg dh semangat nk beli jeans...mase kat new york mmg stock up levi's jeans, gap jeans n guess jeans...

pergi JPO tgk collection design - MENGHAMPAKAN!

.

.

yg i plak, dah excited nk pg la senza kat JPO coz i tot macam la senza in US, byk jual size2 besar2...

tgk2 dlm sebesar alam la senza shop tue ade satu je bra yg size i ok!!! SATU!!!

giler kecewa!

punah harapan nak re-stock lingerie collection

;(

tp price wise not bad...u can get 2 bra for RM100+, 10 g-string panties for RM50!

just that design tak byk for bra...colour je yg meriah byk...and for that g-string, size was the issue...yg ade stock size XS, S and M...mati tak bernafas kang..muahhahaha

.

.

for handbags plak, take example coach...design variety wise ok laaaa...the outlet pon tak besar sgt pon...so dont expect they bring every design in states to JPO...price wise, expensive than US outlets, but cheaper than retail boutique in KL

;)

burberry plak so-so...takde la murah mane

;p

ferragamo quite ok tho...coz i found clutch yg i suke dari dulu dah ade jual kat JPO...n shoes collection in ferragamo pon not bad...price wise dlm RM900-1300 per pair...bg i ok la n ofcourse jgn compare ngan outlets in paris, milan florence kan...definitely way wayyyy more cheaper in europe for european designer brands...

;)

.

.

as for kids item ------> MMG BERBALOI!

thats the verdict from my sisters in law la tapi...i tk la pg tengok in detail kids item...

but from what my SIL said, gap for kids & baby murah2...esprit, poney, guess murah2 jgk...u can get those branded baju for RM10-60 per item...design wise plak byk variety...maybe mase pg tue dia baru re-stock up kot...so size senang nk cari n variety of design too...

so for those yg ade baby n kids tue berbaloi kot borong baju kat sini...

.

.

all in all, if u pernah and had a chance to visit other premium outlets in US or the outlets in europe, then dont expect much from JPO...u pegi skali nak merasa ok la...n im sure u will find it not interesting as u tend to compare with ur previous visits...

but for others, worth to visit JPO especially if u r looking for baby & kids item...

.

.

JPO is expanding...so my opinion was based on my current visit...im sure next year they gonna be better and offers more to the crowd...

.

.

what im sure is that, Johor Premium Outlet (JPO) is another cheaper alternative for shopaholic like ALL OF U!

;D

hehehehhehhe

so do visit them...go bonkers with all the sales item...shop till u drop baybehhhhhhh!

;)

LV, absolutely agree with u on most of yr verdict hehe :) ..but i was lucky tho i went there on the 1st day of opening 01/12/11. That day yes they have a lot moreeee to offer compared to my 2nd & 3rd visits recently. BUT 1 THING FOR SURE YESSS BABY/KIDS ITEMS ARE DAMN CHEAPPPP...i loveeee GAP :) really worth spending kat situ.

lati andy said...

Yup...i agree wif u...ferragamo nyer price agak logik la kalu dok lam jpo tu sbb my last shoe beli kat rome it cost me about myr700...so kalu ada kat jpo dlm myr900..agak murah...tapi coach sgt la menghampakan...rege mahal n design..ala ala menyedihkan..huhu

Miss Aai said...

went there last week.agreed with u mmg tak byk design.tgk harga Levi's dh excited tp design semua lbh kurang sama je.tggu nx year maybe lg byk choices kot.hehe

Amoi Farah said...

walaupon duduk di Johor tapi masih belom ada kesempatan nak pergi tak pandai nak drive ke Kulai family members pon busy so tak boleh pegi Insya Allah satu hari nanti kot dapat pergi....

Ray said...

LV,

Haven't been to this JPO, tp tengok design buildings pun yeppss, macam the FO's kat UK jer..

Dunno why, I don't feel any excitement about going there hehehe.. Maybe coz I've out-shopped myself kat Europe kot... Errrkk...

mizzura said...

aisee..berangan gak nk usha..sebab nk beli kasut...so better pesan sesapa yg balik dr oversea...campur belanja dia pun lagi murah eh? :-)

mimie hamdan said...
