Florida Outlets for Designer bags

[Anonymous]

You’re wasting your time and money flying to
FL for the outlets. All outlets have pretty much the same made for outlet crap today. You’re better off putting your plane fare toward a bag you actually want.

Some of the TJ Maxx stores have a "runway" section with a small selection of designer stuff. The clothes aren't high-end, but some of the bags they keep behind lock-and-key are. The stores in Manhattan have this, but it's a pretty open secret by now that the best selection by far is at the one in Bridgehampton. It's a trek, but if you're ever out there it's worth checking out. They have a lot of designer bags and shoes----Chloe and Gucci are always well-represented.

When you factor in airfare and hotel, you can just buy the real, not made for outlets, version.

The only outlets worth visiting are the ones in Italy outside of Florence.

Yes, i'm the PP you're responding to and yes, it's the 'runway' section. I think most tj maxx's say they have this, but few actually have designer stuff. The one on south beach actually had pretty high end clothes too. Lord knows how it got there, but wasn't uncommon to see stuff in the $1500-2000 range for clothes.

I live in Orlando and the designer outlets are not worth it

+1 for the outlets near Florence.

Or fly to Japan and go to a second hand store. So many pristine bags - you would likely be able to pick bag and color of popular brands.

Most designer outlets are not selling overstock of regular items, they have lines specific to the outlets. They look mostly the same but there are differences in logos, colors, materials, etc. if you can fly to get a bag just save up to get the real version of what you want.
