I was at the outlet Friday and there were 2 twenty something girls from overseas at the register and they bought every single teal Bowery crossbody with jeweled closure that was in stock. I know because I had my SA do a stock check and she went back and said they cleared out the shelf. They had a bag full already and then a counter full being rung up. They also had a couple of the same bag in the black/jeweled and oxblood. No lie they bought at least 20 of these. In addition, they had a counter full of jewelry. I couldn't tell what type (watches/fobs/etc) but definitely more than 5 per person. And the kicker...a manager was ringing them up. I guess quantity restrictions are only enforced on some people.
That's true. I don't know if they relax the rules for any tourist or if it is only those on tour buses. The tour buses usually have a coordinator that hangs out near the counter. The tour buses are the main reason many outlets exist.
It is certainly true that a lot of Asians will go to the outlets to bring back "designer" outlet bags for their families. My friend just recently married someone from Hong Kong and did exactly that. It's obviously difficult to differentiate those people from the resellers that we see all over Instagram, so I could how it'd be hard to make a judgment call.
However, the five-per-item rule only applies to online events, right? Or did I miss something?
No, it applies in stores too. They have applied it to me. I remember hearing that a woman wanted to buy 6 matching wristlets as bridesmaids' gifts and they wouldn't let her. But when the tour buses come to the outlet, they don't apply the rules to them.

I know a lot of them sell them overseas because Coach is more expensive in their countries. I knew a Thai woman who would clean out the outlets, take them to Thailand and resell them. It more than paid for her trip.

I have been looking for that Mickey riding on a motorcycle hangtag since I found out it was released overseas, but unfortunately was too late to get one today. It reminds me of my boyfriend who suddenly passed away almost 2 years ago. If anyone ordered an extra one or knows how to get one, please let me know. Thanks!
Where are you i am in the UK but have one
 
I'll see if my local outlet has one. I'm on the hunt for a greenish bag.
It's tiny but had a really cool way to adjust strap. It has a toggle you hook into the circle part to shorten to short shoulder length and then for long shoulder let fall similar to Parker and of course crossbody keep untoggled. Yes, technical terms haha. It was a cute occasion bag.

I ordered the grey rogue with quilting/rivets and made up my mind that I was not going to keep it before it even arrived. Of course it had to arrive in all its glorious factory packaging and in perfect condition. ‍[emoji30] View attachment 4269395
Ha ha...I know where you're coming from. My friend ordered too and hers arrived the same way....perfect!

Did yours come from JAX or a store? Mine comes in tomorrow but from Arizona so I’m not holding my breath on great condition.

Mine came from JAX. I hope yours is in good condition. When did you order it? I ordered mine on the 11/24 when they first became available (before the email was sent).
