BARGAINS : PRICES COME DOWN AT CLOTHING FACTORY.


Byline: Trisha King & Deborah Newmark

Anyone who regularly drives Tampa Avenue near Vanowen Street may have wondered what happened to the Clothing Factory. Simply by driving by the store, shoppers could see what was available in a color-coordinated selection of women's casual clothing (at discounted prices) that was always displayed along the front of the store.

We accidentally found the Clothing Factory in its new, hard-to-find location on the lower level of a complex next door to Corbin Bowl in Tarzana. But rest assured, for those of you who have shopped there before, you'll still find the same low prices.

For example, anyone who is used to paying $25 to $40 for Lycra leggings leg·ging
