Sorry. I only quickly glanced when I was there over the weekend and now I don't remember anything that I did happen to see. I will be at Birch Run this weekend so I can check out what they have.
OMG.......I just left Howell outlet and they finally had my HG! I went in because I lost all my cheap sunglasses so was hoping for $69 sunnies today and they were 
Next I was debating getting the whip stitch hobo...so beautiful. I walked over to wallets and they had gotten in only 1 python to match my new Lindsey...woohoo. Then my daughter was like what about this, this, this. I was like no all MFF black bags then she said what about this and held up the Sage in fantastic thick goat leather with python trim. I nearly fainted! I have been to the outlets every week for many months and Howell never got Sages. They opened deletes last night and 1 sage was there. I am still shaky I'm so over the moon. My daughter got some Pokemon cards for a finders fee
I hope u Mi girls find some surprise sages at birch run and GLC this week.

Thanks for the info!
Only saw some of the vachetta leather poppy bags, 1 cherry Sophia, some of the Erin bags in grey and black with snakeskin grey trim. No other python except the wallet. I dont think big shipment but great for me

FYI....Howell has a ton of the Kristin deletes (lots of woven baby sages, woven/regular/patent hobos, domed satchels, etc) plus a couple of the black/grey Erins and Louisas. They also had a couple of the large Poppy whipstich cross body bags too (not sure of exact name but the really big ones).
gpeace did you see the black and grey Louisa in person? I had a charge send on that (received it) but am on the fence. IT's pretty but it was expensive even at outlet price, just not sure....
Yep. I did see that one and held it a bit on one of my previous trips. I think it's a nice bag but, for the price, I would have to love it and that one just didn't do it for me.
I carry the regular sized Sophia and according to Coach's measurements the Lousia isn't supposed to be much bigger but it feels huge to me. Also, the boxiness combined with the dark color combo makes it feel more like a business bag (briefcase or laptop case) than a handbag. Then again, if structured black bags are your thing, I think this is a good choice.
I'm not a fan of the Erin version either. I really like the Kristin domed satchel but there's something about the shape or proportion of the Erin that is just off for me.
Good luck with your decision!
I think you put your finger on it precisely, the boxiness. I like the large Sophia so this isn't too big. But like you said it's a lot of $ for like, not love. I didn't care for the Erin either.
