That might explain the lower discounts on deletes at the outlets and FOS recently. With so much going to the outlets they don't want to take as much of a loss. I've bought from a few outlets recently and gotten the red bags.
This does make me excited for outlet shopping over the next few months!
No idea who truly knows what, but my SA said they are cutting back on deletes to outlet and instructing them to send deletes back to corporate, and that the new corporate push is to do online exclusives, where you can get deals on line on older items but not in stores. I will believe it when I see it, knowing Coach, but that plan would certainly be more in line with the overall push to online shopping and cutting down on storefronts.
