No. TJ Maxx carries Polo, Juicy, Donna Karan, Lulu Guinness, Lacoste, Lilly Pulitzer, you name it. They no longer buy "seconds" or defective merchandise, only overstocks.
For instance, let's say a department store orders thousands of Polo shirts from Ralph Lauren and the manufacturing of those shirts is running behind and the delivery of said shirts isn't on schedule, that department store can refuse delivery of those shirts if the "complete by" date isn't met...so what should the Ralph Lauren company do? Sit on those shirts hoping some other store will take delivery on them at the original wholesale price? That's where TJX company comes into play..they come and buy the shirts at a discount, because now the shirts are considered "past season"...for a huge discount and pass the savings on to the customers. I think a lot of people don't understand that part of the business, and the same goes for Coach...also overstock comes into play. Companies estimate the consumer needs/wants and if they miss the mark on a certain style of bag and don't sell the projected amount of bags made, what else are they going to do with the product? They financially can't hold onto it, so....
