Are the items sold in a brand name outlet store exactly like the ones sold in the retail store,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Many retail clothing stores now have outlets that carry clothing lines made specifically for them. Some examples are Gap and Gymboree. I used to work for Gymboree and know for a fact that they take designs from the previous year (clothing sold in regular Gymboree retail stores) and reproduce them exactly, selling them in the outlet stores. The items they're selling have a special Gymboree outlet label in them - they are not leftovers from the original retail runs.
Other outlets carry items that are considered "irregular" - I have found this type of item in many outlets that carry sheets, bedding,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], etc. If you can live with a small pattern defect in one spot,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or a bit of misplaced stitching that no one else would notice unless you pointed it out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you can find some great deals! I got a fabulous comforter that retails for $450 for $50 because in one area,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there is a small defect in the fabric. They are the mistakes and accidents that make it to the inspection process and get rejected to be sold at the retail level. Sometimes, some manufacturers will use outlets to get rid of last years designs - and those will be retail quality. They've sold "irregulars" for years via catalog,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], outlet stores, and now the web. This person said L/H/B did not produce enough true seconds or irregulars to stock all their retail outlets -- their quality control was not that bad! She said they produced what they produced and these were just different ways they used to reach different markets.
I can't verify this,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but I'm guessing this would be true of all the vendors commonly found at outlet centers. If you're, say,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Gap or Levi or Liz Claiborne,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], your name is only as good as the quality of your product. Would they risk their good name for that? I wouldn't think so. That said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], some items are clearly marked as irregulars and seconds,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], frequently with the flaw pointed out. I think if you're a savvy shopper,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you can avoid these if you want and get first quality at outlet stores.
The other major component of outlet stores is last year's stuff. If you're not particularly inclined to be trendy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there are good bargains to found that way. For the most part, this is first quality goods.
Another major component is returns. The clothes may be in perfect condition, but they went to someone's house and back again. Some vendors, rather than incurring the time and expense to restock these items, and the risk that they've been damaged in some way,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], give them to a reseller.
In general,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], my experience with outlet stores is that you pay the same as you would at the regular store's sale. So if you are worried about quality at outlet stores, I'd recommend learning the sale cycles of the regular stores and shop then.
First Run merchandise just like that sold in department stores
First Run merchandise manufactured for Factory Outlet store sales
Second Run merchandise: flawed product rejected for sale at department stores. (this may range from a label misprint,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to a near critical defect in manufacture)
As Factory Outlet malls become more popular,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a higher percentage of merchandise available for sale is first run merchandise,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and second run merchandise will always be marked as such.
As for pricing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], keep in mind that suggested retail is not always competing retail. When the Levis store came to town,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they had second run jeans at a suggested retail $20 higher than first run jeans at a neighboring clothes store, and an actual sales price that was still $2 higher than that same store.
My family has started calling factory malls McMalls, because any given store is laid out exactly the same as all other stores of that name in all the other McMalls in America.
