Which is the best outlet center near the Los Angeles / Hollywood area?

I am going to LA / Hollywood last week of december. Do you know a good outlet center not very far? I guess my shopping will be focused on clothing mostly.

I would stay away from the Commerce one. They are not outlet stores. You might as well go to the mall and pay the full price. I do not see any sales there. The Barstow one which is a couple of hours away have a couple outlet malls therer.

The only outlet center within a short drive is the Citadel Outlet center. Just take I-5 to Commerce.

The others in the area, such as Camarillo, Cabazon (my favorite), and Barstow/Lenwood (my second fav), are a bit of a drive.

Since you'll be in the area, why not check out Santee Alley for deals? It's downtown, south of Olympic between Maple and Santee. Check out fashiondistrict.org for more info.

The Citadel Outlets in Commerce are the only outlet stores in LA.

It should take you about 20-25 minutes to get there from the Hollywood area without any major traffic. The outlets are about 15 miles from the Hollywood area.
