Malls you have to go to the back to find the sales. Most outlets everything is on sale.

Idk is the Kate spade or coach bag at the outlet different than the one at the mall?

Are the Nike shoes different?

The Coach bags at the outlet stores are made with a lesser quality leather. I don’t know about the relative quality of the Kate Spade merchandise.

Is that true? I bought a leather Coach bag at the outlet in 2005 and I carried it today! It still looks good and I used in all through college.

I had a field day at a Le Creuset 20 years ago. I think there are still some like that. I know a few furniture/home goods by me (Brooklyn, NY).

But most outlet shopping now, especially clothing and footwear, is the products specifically created at lower price points to be sold at these places. That’s a waste of time.
