I'm assuming you mean that your tag has the G stamp with the circle around it? The SA is technically correct, in that all of the bags are made to be retailed or sold, to use another term. However, it's been my experience that many SAs will not admit to knowing the difference between a bag from a past season that was sold at full-line Gucci stores, as opposed to ones that are only sold through the outlets, with outlet-specific designs. They don't want to share the distinction, but there are small differences, usually in the amount of detailing in the design. There is also another distinction, which are bag designs from a previous creative director that were originally sold in full-line stores, but are only sold through outlet now (because they're popular, but don't reflect the current creative direction of the brand). The Lady Web is a good example of this. The made for outlet bags are a usually a little simpler in design, so the prices tend to be a little lower than full-line bags at outlet. However, if you love it, I wouldn't worry about the "made for outlet" stamp! I consider the quality of the bags the same. At the end of the day, it's still a Gucci bag, made by Gucci, and sold by Gucci. If you love it, that's all that matters!
Hope that helps, and wasn't too confusing. I first became aware of the difference, because it was pointed out to me by my regular Gucci SA, when a customer tried to return an outlet-only bag at the regular store (I was in the store when it happened, and asked my SA). It's been confirmed by both my SAs and the store managers at a couple of Gucci outlets, although they all said it's not something they're supposed to talk about. You can always check the tag for yourself, now that you know, but once you shop regularly at outlet, the outlet-only designs are pretty easy to spot. If you're doing a phone sale/send, you can always ask for a picture of the leather tag front and back (I've seen the stamp in both places).
So to recap:
1) Bags that have the G stamp with a circle, simpler designs that are made to be sold though Gucci outlets only
2) Bags that have no G stamp with circle, popular full-line designs (older designs that used to be sold in regular Gucci stores, such as the Lady Web) from a previous creative director that are still produced years later, but sold through Gucci outlet only
3) Bags that have no G stamp with circle, that are past season full-line designs (sold in regular Gucci stores) from the current creative director, moved from regular Gucci stores/dept. stores to be sold through Gucci outlet....usually about 6-10 months after it's seen in stores. The timeline can be longer, or not make it to outlet at all, if a design is very popular.
