Hi Morisa! Is par avion available outlet only? i can't tell from the craftmanship!

I couldn't help it also--i called the outlet and ordered the same wallet for myself. when i co-worker saw the wallet, she asked me to buy one on her behalf also :) . the KS folks gave me the same discount with this order. great service.

I'm always surprised that people think that "made for outlet" = less quality. With KS, that's definitely not true. :smile1:

I think most people think of Coach, no? I had to choose a specific wallet from Coach over Christmas for a family member at the outlet and inspected the items carefully. The seams on the wallets were horrible sloppy, it took me a good while to pick an acceptable one. other than KS and Coach outlets, I have no idea about the quality of outlet items from any other brands.

I popped into the KS outlet yesterday and there's tons of new stuff! lots of specials going on for Mother's Day too. I was delighted to see kate spade par avion stuff. i picked up a little neda wallet for about $27 which was originally $58. i already gave it to my mother who loves it. i was tempted to pick up a wellesley quinn since they have many colors i haven't seen before.

i stopped into the coach outlet, i don't know why i go in since i never buy anything there for myself. coach factory items are such poor quality compared to KS's factory items.

I wouldn't know much about coach to compare, but I have purchased many MFF KS bags (in fact, the wellesley line is entirely MFF) and have never had any complaints. I hope you enjoy your new purchases!

I visited the KS outlet in Vegas a few weeks ago and it was so great. Really wonderful customer service and the prices were fantastic! I picked up a cream zip wallet which I'm so in love with and two sets of their adorable striped earphones.

I have had problems with the quality of Coach's MFF bags and wallets in the past.

KS MFF items are a different story! I have not had any problems with KS factory bags or accessories at all. I love them! :love:

I posted this in the surpise sale listing, but it bears on the quality conversation:

I was excited for the sale. And thought about buying the ship clutch. But I took a look at the details of the Sierra bag, which I purchased at the last sale and am feeling so betrayed right now. I must not have read the listing very carefully when I bought that bag a couple of months ago because it is made out of cork instead of leather. There are some reductions in quality which I expect with an outlet bag. But faux leather for 200 bucks is UNACCEPTABLE. I'm think I may never shop with them again for this breach of trust.

I guess I'm not sure how you can view this as a breach of trust... if the description was accurate and you misread it, isn't that simply you overlooking the description? I'm sorry that you are not happy with your bag, though.
