I went with my daughter today to buy her a nice bag to bring with her to college. We end to the Woodbury Commons outlet up in New York.
My daughter has not owned any nice leather bags (just one nylon Burberry and a few small leather goods like wristlets, and one wallet). Now that she's 18 and going off to college I decided it was time to splurge on something nicer for her. I didn't think she was ready to take the plunge into specialty or even a KS from a department store but thought that a lovely outlet item would be perfect.
We were thrilled that today the Woodbury outlet was running a 60/20. They said it was the "last day" but I'm sure they meant for the month. It was such a joy seeing my daughter really take in everything they had in the store. Examine pieces, ask my opinion on leathers, shapes, handles etc. she guided the whole process and came home with a small elodie in hunter green (I love the quality of that smooth leather), a lavender carsden and a neda wallet in royal blue.
All of her items are made for the outlet and that's fine by me. If she can take care of these then I will happily indulge her upon college graduation on a boutique item.
If anyone has questions about what was at the outlets let me know. I didn't snap any pics but I will report what I can from memory. And here is what my daughter picked up. Minus the wallet which is in per possession.
