Sometimes you can find really good deals at the outlets, department stores like Macy's have them on sale at the end of a season to make room for new ones. If you are lucky that they still have them on sale days you can get an additional % off if you use your Macy's card. Occassionaly T.J. Maxx/Marshall's will have some Coach and Dooney too. Another way is to use mypoints.com and you build up enough points to earn gift certificates to deptarment stores and apply it towards a bag. As for Coach shoes, besides the regular dept. stores, DSW also carries them from time to time. My most recent Coach bag (Denim Signature Stripe Satchel) was a bday/xmass gift from my Bf. For the boys I got their Coach collars and leashes from the outlet, which is half the price in a retail store. I personally am not so much into the ultra designer bags, since they tend more to be "of that season" and will not be used again after that. |
