United Apparel Liquidators (UAL) has quietly taken the fashion world by storm, curating treasure troves of designer apparel, shoes, and accessories for both men and women at steeply discounted prices. UAL was started by Bill & Melody Cohen over 40 years ago. Currently, Melody remains as active chairman in the woman led company.

With a recent expansion into Houston, the off-price retail destination – deemed the “best-kept secret in fashion” by the New York Times – has become the talk of the town. When the storefront opened in a two-story building in the River Oaks Shopping Center March 2022, its team of knowledgeable sales associates greeted a long line of eager shoppers, who traveled from far and wide to peruse the fashion-seeker’s phenomenon and snag unparalleled deals on notable finds by luxury brands like Isabel Marant, Valentino and Loewe, just to name a few.

Keeping customers on their toes, UAL receives new shipments of merchandise almost daily, all of which is immediately sorted through and starting at 70% off retail prices.

Currently the boutique is brimming with a unique selection of items by designers like Jacquemus, Stella McCartney, Johanna Ortiz and Reinhard Plank plus coveted denim brands such as Mother and Re/Done. Bottega boots that originally retailed for $1,550 are on sale for $465; a $78 Sol Angeles tee is going for $25; a $315 Reinhard Plank hat, handmade in Italy has been reduced to $80; and a $3,990 Oscar de la Renta dress is available for under $1,200.

UAL Houston is located at 1945 W. Gray St. and is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
