I don't recall seeing any difference in the logos when I was last at Bister Village (just over a year ago now with covid) compared to the boutiques, and I have some dresses, bags, and shoes from Tory. She does use a few motifs on her bags for logos too. It can happen with outlets that brands make different lines just for the outlets, so that's more likely what is at play here. I have had some great luck with outlets - finding heavily discounted RTW runway pieces for example in GUCCI... when in the same-store, they are selling shoes that are always there (over years), and clearly made just for the outlet. Not that there is anything wrong with buying those pieces if you fall in love with them, but my advice with any outlet store is just to be savvy and on the lookout for the pieces that have genuinely made it to the outlet from the boutiques.
