3 Best Shopping in Williamsburg and Hampton Roads, Virginia

This plaza has Lenox, Villeroy & Boch, Orvis and other factory outlets.

The largest of the outlets, there are more than 85 stores here including Liz Claiborne, L. L. Bean, Waterford-Wedgwood, Eddie Bauer, Coach, Tommy Hilfiger, Brooks Brothers, Nike, Guess, Nautica, Michael Kors, and Cole Haan.

The Williamsburg Pottery Factory is an attraction in itself, and the parking area is usually crammed with tour buses. The original location looked like old barn warehouses, but the new address now looks like a small town center. The enormous stores sell luggage, clothing, furniture, food and wine, china, crystal, and—its original commodity—pottery. Individual stores such as Pfaltzgraff are within the compound. There are always some great deals on name-brand home decor.
