would you buy a made for outlet bag?

It depends on the quality of the leather, the style, etc. I've seen some very cute MFF styles in other states in the past. But I live near a HORRIBLE outlet (it's gotten progressively worse over the past few years) which does not offer the nicer quality MFF bags. In fact, I've noticed that they're making their own versions of "boutique" bags -- such as an "MFF version" of saffiano, or the Phoebe, for example -- which is not nearly the same quality, slapping a pretty big price tag on it, and then offering 30% off it, as if it were a fantastic bargain...when truthfully, the price adds up to something you could find at a boutique for better quality.

ANY Coach outlet bag is of better quality than a say, Nine West in my opinion.
While outlet bags are usually trendier for the price I don't think there is a better bag for the buck than Coach.
I have had 11 or 12 over the years and alway been pleased.

This is so true!! Back in the days when I bought brandss like Nine West or Rosetti, my purses looked old, and started falling apart months later. I also only ever bought one bag at a time and used it until it died. ( which happened quickly! )

that's scary
just goes to show you have to shop carefully
and with any outlet store, don't assume because it's an outlet, it's a good value

Absolutely! this is the key to a good shopper!

I just recently got back into Coach bags. I adore the two MFF bags I have (mini peyton, charlie hobo) and just bought a canvas tote. They are adorable and practical for me. I have two FP bags ( vintage Janice's Legacy and red Edie) that I adore as well. I think you have to buy what you like. My mom bought me my first Coach and I just love the brand.

If I had an outlet close buy I would buy a Mickie so yes. 😊

Depends on how well the bag is made, style and quality wise. Like I was contemplating on a outlet Kate Spade bag, but was torn because while the clutch is cute, the quality just doesn't seem to be up to par. While I was debating, of course it sold out. Just my luck...

 

[dcooney4]

Yes!

 

[letstalkbags]

Yes ! I have a few. If the quality is good and the leather looks great, go for it !

 

[TahoeAndStitch]

Usually, when I go to an outlet, I don't see anything I like. However, I saw a couple of styles online recently that I want to check out. I want to see the Mickie and the Margot in person. If they look good in person and the leather feels nice, I would consider them.

If I fell in love with something I would but imo, the clearance deletes are usually less expensive than the mff stuff.

 

[Jaidybug]

Yes! I just bought a Mickie tote and I love it😃

 

[Caspin22]

I would if I loved it, and yesterday I did. Mickie Satchel.

that's nice
I like that it has an outside pocket
I'll have to see if they have Micki or Margot (not that I need a bag but you know how it is)

Every now and then I find a mff bag that I love. This one is from 2011, the Penelope line. Its a little workhorse.
