The days of having to content with odd looking pieces of GAP clothing from F.O.S. (Factory Outlet Store) and The Reject Shop are finally over! The Gap has come to our shores and has opened its first store in Malaysia* in Queensbay Mall! There’s a store for Gap (men and women’s wear) and another for kids and babies, aptly named Gap Kids and Baby Gap. I’d visited the Baby Gap store last weekend and although I was thoroughly impressed by the collection offered, I did not get anything until yesterday. The opening promotion screamed at me and begged me to part with my cash:
Get a RM50 rebate on your purchases worth RM250 and above in a single receipt.
Now how do I say NO to that? 😛 I ended up with 2 versatile and sexy tops for myself; a steal at RM59 for two! At Baby Gap, I bought a pair of jeans, a pair of army cargo pants, and two t-shirts for Ethan, qualifying for the RM50 rebate. I can’t guarantee I won’t be back for more…
* My hubby corrected me last night that the nice lady at Baby Gap said that the Baby Gap store in Queensbay Mall was the first Baby Gap in Malaysia (more branches coming soon to KL later this year). As for the regular Gap outlets, they already exist in KL.
Ooohh… those rebate thingies get me too, everytime!
I know there’s a GAP store in KL, but come to think of it, I don’t know where it is! *blur*
Can’t wait to see Ethan in his new gear! Cargo pants… very stylish!
The Giddy Tiger says: Yeah, my hubby says he knows it is in KL too, but I can’t recall seeing it. Pictures of Ethan soon, yeah?
I bought a sweater from Gap before I came over, and I love it to bits! pity they don’t carry the brand here. then again, loads of other nice stuff to buy and my pocket already feels threatened by the on-coming mid-season clearance… teehee!
The Giddy Tiger says: Ooooh, sale in OZ-land too? I wonder if I have enough Krisflyer points to redeem as well…
wah! After the many months of looking at those gigantic posters outside the shop it’s finally opened for biz!
Will sure to in and have a good look when I return!
The Giddy Tiger says: The rebate promotion unfortunately ends May 31st.
Eh eh… so cheap? RM59 for 2 tops? But I saw The Gap in 1 Utama and Baby Gap and Kids Gap in Midvalley so how come its first in Penang?
The Giddy Tiger says: Really? Aiya, then why that lady told me it’s the first one leh? Anyway, yep it was RM59 for 2 tops! Retail price was RM65 per piece! 🙂
