22 May, 2012: PRCo Dubai is delighted to announce it will be overseeing the public relations in the GCC for McArthurGlen Designer Outlets, the leading designer outlet villages in Europe.

McArthurGlen Designer Outlets bring together the world's leading fashion and luxury brands, in attractive village environments, to offer savvy shoppers savings of 30-70%. Brand partners include leading design houses such as Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Prada and Versace, to name a few, as well as many other brands from Europe and America.

McArthurGlen Designer Outlets is keen to develop destination shopping from the GCC, aiming to deliver a premium shopping experience that offers incredible value for money without compromising on quality or attention to detail, all in desirable tourist destinations across Europe.

The concept of outlet retailing was introduced to the United Kingdom with the launch of Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet near Chester in 1995, which is still the largest designer outlet in the UK. Currently, McArthurGlen has 20 designer outlets in nine countries including Austria, Germany, Italy, Greece, France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Netherlands and the UK. All located near major cities, in popular tourist areas that are easily accessible for travelers. 

A smooth and stress-free shopping experience awaits visitors, with cafes and restaurants providing much needed places for rest and refueling and children's playgrounds and child-minding facilities to keep kids entertained, while parents snap up designer deals. Personal shoppers are also on hand to assist everyone from first time visitors to seasoned fashionistas.

Each outlet offers more than just a luxury shopping experience. Entertainment in the form of concerts and festivals are held throughout the year, such as the Serravalle Jazz Festival. This gives the villages a true community atmosphere and makes McArthurGlen Designer Outlets tourist attractions in their own right.

Integral to the experience is the architecture and design of the villages, which have been styled by architects to be reminiscent of the local area's heritage. Castel Romano Designer Outlet draws inspiration from the splendor of imperial Rome while Troyes Designer Outlet fits seamlessly into the stylish French landscape, in the heart of the Champagne region.

McArthurGlen Designer Outlets are placing destination shopping firmly on the map of the fashion forward and a trip to Europe would now be incomplete without a village experience.
