The factory store said that they usually get bags in from the retail stores once the season is over. Instead of the retail stores putting the prior season's bags on sale in their shop, they ship the bags to the factory. My Soho bag was from the Sept. 06 collection. The factory then initially discounts the bags from retail price to about $30 or $40 less. Then maybe corporate will tell them to add an additional discount of 20-30%.

Thanks so much for finding out for me. Guess I' have to take a trip up to the outlet mall and check it out. I'm still waiting for my "Customer Appreciation" invitation (which is supposed to start on 3/18/07) and then I'll order it from the store (they don't have any in stock). I also know that if you go to the store and they order an item for you, you don't have to pay any shipping charges (every little bit helps!). Thanks again!
