Wow! We must run in the same circles! I used to live in Portland, ME and would go to Freeport and Kittery all the time! Now I live in OH! You are right....Maine stopped getting some good retail bags at the outlets (but their Dooney outlet is still good!). I think there were a few larger outlets in MA where you have a better chance of seeing deletes. Can't remember any more but it was sort of on the south side of Boston toward Rhode Island. My outlet in OH is about 45 minutes away and while I like the ladies there....we don't get much for retail deletes. If I see one in a spy picture, I can go there and they can try to order for me so thank you to the spies!!!!

It’s called the Wrentham Outlet, right over the RI line in MA [emoji4]

That’s the closest to me. I just picked up some retail goodies there a few weeks ago!

Yes....bringing back memories! Shopping stinks in OH (at least in Cleveland) but that's OK....better for my wallet! Too many great outlets in New England!
 
We ended up going to Austin today anyway so we did go down to San Marcos. Unfortunately, the Coach outlet was just as dismal there as they were in Ohio and Maine. They only had a handful of deletes. There were a few dinkys, including one leopard haircalf. There was one black drifter carryall, lots of turnlock saddlebags in black and in white, and a few wallets. There were a couple of white bags with rivets. One of those was an Edie. I didn’t recognize the other one. I didn’t buy anything.

Are there any good Coach outlets left outside of NJ, Massachusetts, Illinois and Florida?

Maybe Vegas? I have never been so can't say.

ITA. I went to the outlet near Cleveland while visiting friends during Thanksgiving and they had no FP deletes. I ended up getting an MFF bag (DH was insistent that the trip not be wasted) that I sold on ebay a few weeks ago.

I made a quick stop at the Coach Outlet in Aurora, IL yesterday. They were still offering the Memorial Day sale of 70% off on most items and an extra 20% off on clearance. They still had a lot of the Minnie Mouse products, so they may be heading for clearance soon.

The FP Delete section was pretty slim; mostly the MFF Nomads, some wristlets and wallets, one duffelette (brown or oxblood), a few blue and pink tea rose wristlets but they did have some nice leather jackets and some clothing items. I remember seeing a red leather jacket.

I thought that the most interesting item was this gorgeous black suede fringe turnlock wristlet 86840 BP BLK for $118 (retail = $395); see the pics below. It came with a dustbag inside. I was tempted because I love small, decorative evening bags, but I already have too many and not many opportunities to carry them - so I passed.

One interesting observation, the shelves were rather empty after the holiday sale and after I left the store, I walked down the hallway behind the Coach store to use the restroom, and I saw guys bringing loads of boxes into the Coach stockroom - so they should be getting new stock out soon!

I have no idea what was in the boxes, and Father's Day is coming so maybe there were a lot of Men's items (?) but hopefully there will be some new items on the sales floor soon.

Katev, do you know how to ID the MFF Nomads? What makes them different from the FP version?

I haven't examined them closely enough to tell you the differences. I was in a hurry yesterday, but I did check one of the brown Nomads to see if it was MFF or boutique. If you look for the tiny little plastic tag inside the bag with the style number on it, if it begins with a "F" you know that it is the Made For Factory version. An "F" on the paper tag doesn't mean anything because they retag most items for the outlet. Sometimes you really have to search for the tiny tag.

I just looked for the "F" and I didn't check to see if they carry a different style number from the originals. Also, they didn't come with a dustbag - although that it not proof that it is a MFF bags - it just makes it more likely.

Sometimes they give the MFF version a different name, I recall seeing bags labeled "Mae" that looked like Nomads - but I don't know if any of the MFF bags are still called "Nomad"?

Maybe someone who has bought one recently can tell us about the differences, if any, from the originals. Sometimes the MFF versions are quite similar or even identical to the original, and sometimes there are differences.

I have posted this question in the Nomad Clubhouse so hopefully someone will be able to advise us.

I forgot to take pictures, but I was at the Coach Factory Outlet, Settlers Green, North Conway, NH, and I was a little disappointed with the selection. Hardly any deletes. They did have some Minnie, a bunch of mens, jacquard, and a bunch of signature items. They did have a few of the retail link straps and I did buy a glovetanned "eye" card case for $16.

Same; there were the MFF Nomads, and even that the leather felt dry/stiff. Don't think I saw one FP delete at my nearest outlet (2 1/2 hours away, Tanger outlets at Washington, PA). Guess the lack of selection is probably from the SAS that's going on in the boutiques. I did pick up a flamingo leather key fob on the Coach signature background, just because it was so cute.
