Q for anyone who has purchased from retail store, does the style number on the tag usually starts with a "3xxxx"? Some of the bags at outlet start with "12xxxxx" so I am wondering if those were made specifically for outlet. Trying to see if there's a way to distinguish FP transfers from outlet versions.


Currently, there are no bags made just for outlets, however there are full lines that were pulled from retail and now reside at outlets only - Savannah nylon totes, Roslyn totes, Kipp totes and the all patent T wallets come to mind. The codes on the tags only indicate where it was produced. The newer bags should have production dates on their "made in..." labels. This is part of supply chain transparency. Some numbers indicate seasonal only styles. TB doesn't have a system in place yet to discern outlet bags from retail as in the case of Coach, Kate Spade or MK. If a bag is a customer return it will usually get re-tagged once sent to outlets as it can no longer be sold at full price. Their tagging is all over the place and I have yet to see any real consistency.

As more styles end up at the outlet I'm guessing the stance on "made for outlet" items will change within the next season or two as they decide whether or not to take the company public and expand. Right now all of the focus is on Tory Sport.

Full disclosure: I'm a luxury brand consultant that deals with the compliance aspect of the supply chain. I do not have a business interest or financial interest in Tory Burch as TB is considered "prestige" but not "luxury" and therefore not in my line of work. I'm just a fan :) Believe it or not, 80%+ of my business is luxury linens :laugh:. The majority of my info is from colleagues that do work in that side of the business.

Thank u for the great info and insight!
 
Anyone else get a handful of super old (2012) shipment update emails? At first I panicked that someone was using my CC to order stuff but these were all about really old orders. Strange.
 
My TJ Maxx is having a Runway event and I found some TB bags this time. Can anyone tell me if $229.99 is a good price for a large York buckle tote in raspberry? Also found a Robinson square pebbled tote in navy for $399.99. Seems that prices at outlet would be better, when they have a promo? Or are these pieces rare as they are older style/colour?
 
I tried on the most adorable romper today, it's from the resort line. I'm 53, think I get away with wearing a romper, I live in Florida so it would be casual wear.ImageUploadedByPurseForum1456604622.349784.jpgImageUploadedByPurseForum1456604675.157646.jpg 2 photos one off the shoulder and in the shoulder.
