Le Creuset outlets are where they retail goods that are considered \u2018seconds\u2019. These items are not \u2018perfect\u2019 that can be sold at their premium price as there is an imperfection within them.<\/p>\n

They often carry their full range of products and they are often a place where they can display their goods in a controlled environment without relying on third party sellers. They have full control in how they are displayed and promoted.<\/p>\n

In some cases, these items may just be overstock they have in their inventory.<\/p>\n

What is the quality of the Le Creuset goods?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Le Creuset pride themselves on perfection and their reputation and positioning in their markets is as such. In fact, their marketing strategy is based on their quality control and heritage.<\/p>\n

They are known to melt their cast iron items back down to start again if they do not meet their exacting standards. They make this known clearly in marketing material and part of this is the quality dynamic they wish to portray.<\/p>\n

This adds to the legend of Le Creuset and helps differentiate them from their competitors.<\/p>\n

However, there are some items that meet the initial checks or are passed through the quality control that are failed at a later stage. This is common within the Le Creuset quality control process but this is nothing to be concerned about.<\/p>\n

This does not mean that these items are not fit for purpose. They are, they may contain a visual imperfection, they may have something inconsistent to the original design or they may just be end of line stock. In some cases, there may be nothing \u2018wrong\u2019 with the product\u2026nothing.<\/p>\n

They just don\u2019t meet their own high standards.<\/p>\n

Generally, this is where Le Creuset retail their stock that is not fit for their premium market. They do this through this medium rather than through other mediums such as eBay or third-party sellers.<\/p>\n

One thing that is patently clear is the amount of control Le Creuset like to have. They are determined to present their products as a lifestyle brand and a premium product.<\/p>\n
