They need a new insider for their COH info. I both the outlets are no more than 10 miles from their flagship store in Mall at Millenia......
Good article, thanks for posting.
Another reporter who didn't check facts. I'm also pretty sure they can't prohibit other retailers from discounting their products. That's why it's called "suggested" retail price. The third party stores like Macy's, etc., have plenty of sales on Coach.
I think they can do that. Uggs does it too.
About a year ago, I was told by an SA at Macy's that Coach said they could no longer reduce items to 50 and 70% off but instead, those items would be returned to Coach. (My own theory is that Coach would send it to the outlets.) She told me that the maximum sales and clearance would be 25% off (plus any coupon adjustments) and the only items that would go to 50% would be random returns that may not have been purchased at that particular store.
And since then, finding items for more than 25% off has been tough.
Really? Macys have sales on Coach all the time. At the moment they are running a spend 300 get 100 off promotion, good thru Nov 5. Last week was a one day sale with 25 off regular and 25/25 off clearance. Macys have some great Coach deals!
The way it was explained to me is that Coach has to approve the sales and which items can go on sale and/or be marked down. Perhaps it's something in the small print of the contract retailers have to sign when agreeing to be authorized sellers?
(BTW, I've not seen the $100 off $300 at Macy's. Are they copying Coach's PCE?)
I'm pretty sure they are mimicking the PCE/targeted offers. There was a very small sign on the counter.
I'm not sure how much say Coach has when it comes to department store pricing. It was my understanding that Macys/Dillards buy the merchandise outright, but it would be understandable if there was some kind or moratorium as to how long they must offer them at full price. When the studded stuff debuted a month or so ago they had a 25/20 off sale. The studded duffle went from 398 to 238, and that was a brand new item.
So I've been feeling like I need a ban after buying the borough bag, even with 25% off it's around $450 and that's a bit much for me given the other fall bags I have acquired. My wallet needs a break!
To get some perspective, I clicked over to the Chanel board just out of curiosity and saw that their new "it" bag, which is a small-ish crossbody flap, costs $3900.
I knew Chanel was pricy but omg.
So. Now that borough bag is a BARGAIN! Yeah!!

I use my Phoebes a LOT and they look brand spanking new. The leather is very durable. Remember...it once served to keep a cow dry.

ROFL! I just told my husband this afternoon that he should be glad that I have a Coach fixation because it could have been LV or Chanel.... In reality, I have managed to acquire 18 Coach bags (3 FOS with PCE and the rest outlet), and still have not hit the price of that Chanel "it bag"!!!

That's so true! The total cost of my entire coach collection is under what that one single Chanel bag costs (most it being FOS, PCE, or ebay finds)... That does make me feel far less guilty for having so many bags lol thanks jane!
Not to mention it's an "it" (read: trendy) bag, which is not even that special imo, so in a few years, it will be dated! Yikes.
I guess if you're so rich that dropping over four grand on a little handbag is NBD more power to you, but if I had that kind of disposable cash, I'd get a couple more borough bags and then spend the rest on a lot of beautiful new furniture and rugs for my house

i love the winter collection! the madison small kelsey satchel in leather is huge and gorgeous. Just exactly what i was searching for. Wish it could be in saffanio as well. Be great for useage in the elements. @_@ I was hoping for something that could stand more against the elements. Now i can't decide xD. legacy double gusset crossbody in leather is gorgeous too and the right size as well. Not too expensive as well
