I know how you feel! Last bag I bough at the boutique even with a pce it was selling at the outlet for less than half the original price 3 months after I purchased it. That was it for me. I truly felt
"Taken" or "hustled". I know coach is just another corporation and all that matters to them is the "bottom line" but That was the last coach I purchased and it was over a year ago. I've moved on to other brands, right now I'm loving Michael Kors.
I agree. I actually thought that with the introduction of the Phoebe and the Borough bags, they finally were going to maintain a line of basic upscale bags that would be the "Coach standard" and stop playing the pricing games. WRONG. Now the Boroughs are at the outlets right next to the MFF stuff, and the Phoebes were there months ago.
The only change in their "business model" is that they don't have PCEs any more so we boutique customers never catch a break.
