Factory Outlets don’t sound very sexy and admittedly my snobby attitude has often kept me away from them. But on an afternoon stroll up Smith Street, the words«Nothing over $ 20» caught my eye and I had to have a gander. As a woman I have often gazed lovingly at gorgeous underwear from brands such as Elle McPherson, Fayreform and the ever impressive Pleasure State. I have then looked at the price tags and almost cried. But not at the Bendon Factory Shop. The prices here are so low that you almost want to give them more money. Pleasure State in particular can be up to $ 150 for a bra — for ONEBRA. At the Bendon Factory Shop? 20 bucks. Now we can all afford to feel(and look) smokin’ hot in our knickers. Ladies, buy up!

I like beautiful underwear but I don’t like the prices. Enter: the Bendon Factory Shop. Down the discount end of Fitzroy’s Smith Street, the Bendon Factory Shop stocks a range of underwear by labels such as Bendon and Elle Macpherson at quite frankly flabbergastingly low prices. As such, queues for changing rooms and suchlike can be formidable but if you’re wise and avoid this place like the proverbial plague at weekends you can come away with more than a few bargains without too much hoopla. $ 10 bra sales and the like are commonplace and you can easily save up to 70% on some very saucy smalls. A quick caveat emptor: there’s a reason that a lot of this stock is discounted with some odd — and overly kinky — designs and not the best range of sizes on offer. As such, do make sure you choose wisely to avoid mistakenly returning home with too small smalls or crotchless panties. That said, for eagle eyed lingerie lovers the Bendon Factory Shop is an absolute must visit.
