Loehmann’s is a tantalizing store for bargain conscious lovers of designer fashion. Their slogan is “Real designers, really discounted”. Every day they offer genuine designer clothing and accessories at less than retail prices. Their prices are often the most competitive around and with some clever shopping tactics you can reap additional savings. We've discovered several tips and tricks to help you get the most out of shopping at Loehmann’s.
Join The Loehmann’s Insider Club
Loehmann’s has an Insider Club you can join for extra benefits. Membership is tiered. You can become a red level member for free and this automatically entitles you to a 15% off birthday discount and advance notice of sales and events. You can also get entertainment discounts and offers. Entertainment partners include: SpaFinder Wellness, LA Fitness, Restaurant.com and more. The 15% birthday discount can typically be combined with other sales and promotions they are running allowing you to stack the benefits.
Gold membership has a $25 joining fee, but you only need to spend a small amount annually to make this worth your while. In addition to red member benefits you get 20% off on four occasions through the year. You also get to designate a day of your choice to receive 15% off. You will often find that you can stack other coupons or offers with gold discounts.
Gold members qualify for $3 shipping for online orders under $100. (All orders over $100 automatically qualifying for free shipping). You will be notified about store events earlier than the general public and you qualify for a free size search service. This means if you can’t find a size in store they will search other stores for you and if they can locate the item, they will transfer it to your local store free of charge.
If you spend $2000 annually you will be invited to join the diamond level. In addition to all red and gold benefits you get free delivery for all online orders, an extended return policy and qualify for a private in-store party if you send $5000. Your birthday voucher is bumped up to a 25% discount and you get 20% off six times a year instead of only four.
Stay Tuned For Flash Sales
Loehmann’s will occasionally run short-lived sales with exceptionally good discounts. For example, in March the Washington store had a one-day bridal sale that began at 7:00am. It offered brides 600 designer wedding gowns regularly priced between $500-$12,500 discounted to between $300-$1000. A few weeks ago, they ran an online flash sale for only six hours.
Be on the lookout for Friends & Family events where they typically offer 20% storewide, or their $25 off purchases of $75 or more promotion.
Like Them ON Facebook For Exclusive Deals
Loehmann’s often offers their Facebook followers exclusive deals. Expect to find coupon codes for up to 30% off every now and then.
Hunt Around For Coupons
Loehmann’s often offers coupons for between 20-40% off your purchase total. You can find all the latest Loehmann’s deals at BluePromoCode.
Get The Most Out Of A Store Visit
Individual dressing rooms often have very long queues. Some stores actually offer the option of a communal dressing room. It is therefore wise to wear good underwear and possibly something like a wrap dress that lets you pop clothes under it for modesty when changing.
Maximize A Store Visit With Complimentary Personal Styling
Loehmann’s offers a complimentary personal stylist service in many of their stores. If you book an appointment for one of these services a stylist will have your favorite designers in your size ready for your arrival.
Utilize Their Size Hunt Service
If you can’t find your size Loehmann’s staff can check with other locations to let you know where you can find the item in your size. As mentioned above gold members even qualify for a free transfer service to their local store.
Know Where To Find The Best Bargains
The best clearance stock is usually found in each stores backroom section. This section typically features brands mixed in together, rather than on neat designer specific racks. If you have time to sort through the racks, the search effort can really pay off. Expect to find things like cashmere sweaters for under $50 and items that were originally priced at between $200-$600 for as little as $10.
Understand Their Price Tags
Loehmann’s price tags are often color coded and this can give you invaluable information when it comes to discounts. When they have a clearance sale you will often find they run a promotion for 10-30% of blue tag items, 20-50% off yellow tag items and a whopping 25-75% off red tag items. With any initial discounts or promotions you may find yourself scoring an item for 5% off what you would pay in a department store.
If You Live Near More Than One Store Check Them All Out
In addition to each store carrying different stock, you may find different promotions on offer at different locations. Stores are not tied into running identical offers.
