Here are some FAQs about outlets:
Q: Where are Coach outlets?
A: Check on Outlet Bound - Online Guide To Factory Outlet Stores & Outlet Centers to locate the coach outlet nearest you!
Q: Do you know if a Coach outlet carries _____?
A: The easiest answer to this question is to call the Coach outlet youplan on visiting (you can find the number for the store at Outlet Bound).Tell them the name or style number of the bag and they will be able totell you if they have it in stock or if they will be getting any of itin the future. You can also have them hold an item for two days oralternatively if your item is not in stock you can put your name on alist and have them contact you if the bag ever comes in. Outlet stockvaries GREATLY from store to store so honestly nobody other than an SAcan tell you if a purse is at or will be at the outlet you plan onvisiting. Merchandise changes hourly at some stores so you never know!
Q: Do outlets ship items to me?
A: Yes, but they will charge you FULL PRICE for it.
Q: Are items in the Coach Factory stores substantially cheaper than in the boutiques?
A: Depending on the item you want you can get anywhere from a 20-75%discount off the MSRP. Look for the clearance shelf for especially gooddeals because you can take an extra 20-40% off items located there.
Q: Are items in the Factory stores of lesser quality than original Coach bags?
A: Not really. Items in the factory store are just as high quality asCoach bags from the boutique. The only difference is that some piecesmay have been handled more or have been sitting on the shelf for a longtime so make sure to inspect your bag thoroughly before buying it. Theonly real notable difference between outlet and boutique pieces is thata small little circle (looks like a target sign) is embossed on theCoach creed of outlet pieces. (Read the next Q & A for more info onthe quality of factory store purses!)
Q: Are Factory store bags made specifically for the factory?
A: Some are. They will have COACH FACTORY written on the outside pricetag. Coach sometimes makes bags especially for the factory as a trialrun to see how well they sell before they will make those pieces forthe boutique. These bags are held to Coach's standards and are just aswell made as regular coach purses. They are not cheap, flimsy, slipshodbags that will fall apart as soon as you leave the store so don't worry=)
Also, a large percentage of the bags in the factory store are itemsthat are "last season".. they haven't sold in the boutique so they'vebeen shipped off to the outlets so the boutiques can make room for newthings.
Q: How long does it take for an item from the boutique to get to the factory stores?
A: A great way of checking is to go on Coach.comand see if the item you want is still on the website. If it's not onthe site anymore, chances are it's at the outlet (so call and see if itis!) Outlets usually get new shipments at the beginning of each monthso go early to get all the good stuff!
