Outlet hours: Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday- 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The same luxury-grade leather photo albums, journals, appointment books and desk accessories found at high-end retailers (think 5th Ave. in Manhattan) can be had here at bargain basement prices.
The newly-expanded outlet store, which opened last week, is housed in the front section of the company's factory-warehouse. And the pickings are good.
There are rows of sumptuous French calfskin or crocodile leather photo albums with clear pocket pages in various sizes and colors (retail $52-$135) for $12-$75. Leather address books are $15-$25, pocket-size versions are $5. Colorful leather iPod covers are a mere $10-$17.
The most substantial discounts are offered on merchandise that's slightly imperfect. Still, sale prices abound on blemish-free journals, guest books, desk accessories, frames and albums. All make great gifts, particularly with foil-stamped or blind embossed personalization ($7.50 per line), which the company does on the premises.
