Coach Outlet

ok place but the price… LOL

This trip was was on thr last weekend befor christmas. Although the store was packed and every sales person was trying to help us Patricia help us find what my wife was looking for. Patricia focused on customer service solely for us and catered to our need the whole time we were their. Today we got my wifes purse and a pair of leather gloves. Thank you.

Ended up getting a beautiful, $ 700 green duffle for $ 240. My salesman had top notch customer service skills. It was the perfect shopping experience.

My wife has worked at the Michael Kors outlet location here in Carlsbad for many years. We normally never set foot into Coach. I think the popularity of this brand has decreased considerably over the years. Still, we wandered into the men’s store looking for a small black leather messenger bag. They had one on clearance for 70% off. It looked great and the staff was very friendly. Overall good experience… can’t complain.

Eh. I feel like most outlet brands have gotten more expensive and trendy over the years and yet the quality still stays average. Look, I’m fine with paying for slightly-​above average quality for an outlet price. Most outlet stuff isn’t boutique quality, anyway, but the deals are what make outlet shopping fun and exciting.
Yesterday I roll in here because I wanted to get a nice purse to replace the Coach tote I bought back in 2008 (also from the exact same outlet). It had a good run, but I needed a nice looking bag to take to work and this one was really falling apart. Much to my disappointment, most of the bags here are very logoish and small and much too trendy for me to take to work. And it’s not just here… I went to Kate Spade, Dooney and Bourke, and Michael Kors, and they all had the same overpriced and garish bags. I finally came back to this store and settled on a Coach bag that wasn’t nearly as nice as my old leather Coach tote; it was pretty, don’t get me wrong but it lacked all the handy pockets my original Coach bag had. Unfortunately, it wasn’t without being hassled by 3 different sales associates.
Years ago I could find a decent quality, very understated, and reasonably priced tote bag without anyone badgering me so that I could help them get commission. The bags here have gotten too pricey and trendy, which defeats the purpose of my having to go to the outlet mall to begin with. If I want trendy and pricey, I may as well get a Prada or LV (although they’ve also taken a nosedive with quality, but I digress).
Some of the purses here are still cute and there are deals enjoyed by many people who shop here. And it’s comparably way cheaper to buy here than at the regular boutique at the mall. Still, is it bad of me to yearn for the past when it was just a regular outlet store?

Yes! Even though Coach is the «affordable» brand of luxury goods, they have an outlet so their goods are even more «affordable»! I love coming here to pick up gifts and goodies for friends and family because of how big of a discount it is!
This outlet is pretty crowded like 99.9% of the time so you’ll have to fight for parking. However, it’s worth it because there are some pretty good luxury stores out there!

Always find fantastic deals here!

I love the Coach outlet! This store is almost always 50% off your entire purchase which can save you hundreds. I have gotten my leather book bag here for $ 250 when it was suppose to be $ 500, and let me tell you, it was worth every penny. This bag has been through the ringer and is still in mint condition besides some wear-​and-​tear like any bag would. Also for shoes they are sometimes up to 70%.
This store as expected is packed almost everyday and makes you intimidated to enter at times, but when in need of a purse of quality for an affordable price this is the place to be.
p. s. they have a coach for guys right next store and they sell cute key chains there :) and are on sale too! but thats only ~30% off.

COACH !!! Yes what woman doesn’t like Coach. Came in the on New Years and yes thanks to all the hungover or people that partied to hard the night before and slept in, this store was not packed as it normally is and I enjoyed my time here. Friendly employees throughout the store ready to help and assist you. I had an item to return and the process was super fast and friendly. And because of their 50% sale I couldn’t resist and purchased a new purse and still was left with money from my return to use later.

Best monogram on a handbag evarr!
Whew! Last paycheck before Christmas: o Tis the season. It seems the better time to stop by is on a non-​holiday weekday morning. Reading reviews about being here during peak times sounds like the worst Black Friday fiasco where people get trampled. I prefer a more leisurely shopping experience with less royal rumble and mortal combat over limited quantities of discounted merchandise.
I walk in and it’s fairly crowded with most people browsing the back of the store. A store associate hands me a slip of paper explaining their discount with an added amount for clearance items. Guess what’s at the back of the store, Clarence?
Viviana walks over and offers to help me. She was very nice and helped to explain the discounts and was quick to help find some gifts. She even has a calculator handy to crunch numbers. I may be a dude that doesn’t know much about different purse styles, but as a shopper that hates shopping it’s helpful to have some general idea of what you want so you can get out quickly. It’s gotta be mildly infuriating for a store employee to get that customer over and over with no idea what they’re looking for. Help the employee help you by narrowing down the list. Viviana is able to quickly locate a handbag with matching wallet that should be a neat ladies gift.
Thank goodness for this discount and that we’re not obsessed shopaholics. I like getting nice things occasionally and I’m always thrilled when I don’t have to pay full retail price for it.

Ugh! I hate Black Friday weekend! It’s the evil time of the year! Somehow I ended up at the outlets. I’ve been avoiding coach for years now. I have a crap load of Coach bags that I have given away or they are stuck somewhere in my closet collecting dust. You can’t beat the 50% off deal! I’ve been in search for a small affordable cross body black bag and I found 2! Well one from Kate spade and another from Coach. It’s a good everyday bag that I found at Coach and I am happy with my purchase. I kind of want the brown one but I need to avoid anymore shopping at all costs! I still think the coach outlet prices are still expensive so if you come during one of their good sales then take full advantage of the deal!

One Star (because I have to give a star) based on my visit September 25, 2014. Any other day it would easily be at least a 4 Star visit.
I had purchased the signature ‘CC’ silver charm that came on a silver chain for $ 78 + 50% off store coupon weeks ago. The second time I had worn it it had left me with a grey line all the way around my neck! Yes, I never wore again.
On the above date I had dropped into the store to look at the new merchandise. Browsing around a tall blonde man had asked if I had any questions. I did actually. I asked if he had heard any complaints about the said silver necklace. He said no. I told him I had purchased it and it turned my neck grey. He then said, «Well, it is silver plated.» Had I known that ‘SILVER’ on the packaging meant silver plated, I probably would have passed on the $ 39 purchase. Ok, problem solved.
It was what the man had said after that just bothered me. He went on to say, «At least it was 50% off.» I responded, «Really? It doesn’t really matter because I won’t wear it again.» And here’s the kicker! He says, «Well, you can give it to a friend.» Me, «Honestly?! Why would I regift something I wore, and would never wear again?» Yes, I put my future purchase down and left… offended.
Who has this kind of conversation with a customer?

Send me in COACH!
Who doesn’t like COACH? That CLASSIC ELEGANCE that stands the test of time. It’s NOT garish or flashy and doesn’t stand out in a bad way! They cater to BOTH MEN and WOMEN and have everything to complete an outfit such as shoes, pants, tops, jackets or coats, purses or man bags, luggage for traveling, computer bags, or backpacks, hats, scarves, toiletry bags or shaving kits, jewelry, etc. They pretty much gotcha covered and there price point is NOT UNREASONABLE! You REALLY DO get what you pay for when it comes to COACH!
This was our first stop at the outlet mall. I actually wasn’t going to go in but Junebug insisted so I agreed. As soon as we walked in we were handing a coupon for 50% off anything in the store. DING, DING, DING they had my undivided attention at this point!
I’m NOT a big bag person and when it comes to COACH they generally DON’T ever have anything I like, but that goes for most bags, especially the ones with letters all over them. I’m REALLY NOT into the seasonal colors bags with matching wallets because for me after 3 months you look either foolish or outdated if you DON’T go run out and buy the latest and greatest so I tend to stick to the NORMAL everyday colors.
One thing I TRULY like about the higher end brands is that they USE REAL LEATHER and NOT that faux carp I HATE! Sorry PETA but I like the REAL STUFF and that includes eating meat and wearing fur as well! I ABSO-​LUTELY despise FAKE LEATHER! It doesn’t last as long and it wears funny so that the color doesn’t have that NICE patina that REAL LEATHER gets.
As we walked around I see bags and some jewelry but nothing is rocking my boat or really making the hairs on the back of my neck stand out. I lose Junebug in the store but WHATEVES we usually just meet outside when that happens so NO BIGGY! The store is NOT SUPER crowded but less is more in this case. Peeps are checking out all the items and the women I saw each had a few wallets or bags each!
I check out some shoes and try them on but again nothing is knocking me over. I move to the clothes section and eye-​spied some leather jackets in black, tan and hunter green! I FELL in love. The hunter green one is TOO DIE FOR so I try it on! LOOVVEEE IT! FITS like a glove and it’s so FRICKIN SOFT I’m sure some baby calf gave up its life AND FOR A GREAT CAUSE so I can stay warm this winter, but I put it back and used some self-​control to pry my own fingers OFF the jacket!
Anyway other than the jacket (I REALLY, REALLY WANTED) I didn’t see anything else and went to meet Junbug outside but couldn’t find him so I took a seat a waited figuring he was roaming around in one of the other stores nearby. While I waited I looked at some oil paintings on display in the center of the mall out in the open. About 15 minutes later Junebug walk up with bags of goodies in his hand.
Ryan: What did you find?
Junebug: A belated B-​day gift for you.
Ryan: Really! What is it? (Skepticism in my voice), because I don’t like surprises!
Junebug: I know you don’t do surprises so you don’t have to keep it if you don’t like it. I’m sure I can find a home for it.
He hands over a COACH shopping bag. At least he has good taste I think to myself. OMG, OMG… It was the hunter green leather jacket I was eyeballing and nearly drooled over in the store. YIPPY-​SKIPPY! AWESOME belated b-​day gift if I do say so myself! I WAS SUPER DUPER EXCITED! I’m jumping up and down like a 5 year old… YEAH ME!
Ryan: THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Junebug: You’re welcome. I can’t tell. Do you like it, he ask sarcastically?
I just stuck out my tongue at him and continued to jump up and down and try on my jacket! I know it’s hard to tell but I WAS UBER HAPPY in case you could not figure it out!
Even though I don’t care for outlet malls and don’t tend to go often I have gotten some pretty NICE gifts and just because items over the years from friends that shop at the COACH outlets. I wasn’t hounded to death or followed like I’m a criminal while in the store which I HATE. That is so FRICKIN ANNOYING! And the store was clean and well stocked but NOT OVER STOCKED!
Overall good experience even if I hadn’t gotten the jacket.

In May I purchased a pair of Mens Mckay Penny Driver loafers from the Coach Outlet and to say I am disappointed in the quality is an understatement! Within 8 weeks I had already worn through the front of the shoes which is completely unacceptable. I took pictures of the shoes and posted them to let others know that Coach rips off their customers and they are better off just buying fakes. Shoes that have a $ 268 retail should last longer than 2 months. In fact to this day I still own a pair of Bass loafers that I purchased ten years ago and there is not one hole in them. I don’t know how Coach can stand behind such awful quality products.

Honestly, one of the best service experiences around. The Coach Outlet is worth the drive. We came here to do a return from their online store and it was accepted without ridiculous questions. The return was processed in a timely manner. I was in and out of the place within minutes. The hours are posted on the Carlsbad Outlet website but you can always call the store to verify. They do have special hours throughout the year depending on the holiday season so you should take that into consideration as well. I like to go when they open to avoid the crowds and find parking. By the time we left, the parking lot was a zoo. It’s a good thing we arrived early!

I love this store — but not to shop, to people watch. I like to cruise in here with my Orange Julius in hand and watch tourists go crazy for Coach! If you go in here on a weekend you will see ladies buying 10+ items at a time. Seriously, check out the check out line and you will see that many customers have mesh bags full of Coach products. No exaggeration. I’ve even seen plenty of pushing and shoving in the back of the store where the sale stuff is. Store hoarding is common too — that is where ladies grab stuff in a panic, walk around the store with armfuls and then later decide what they want and what they’ll «let» others have.
Despite the crazies that shop here the staff all seems normal. They are helpful and attentive. I have bought my fair share of stuff here over the years but I’m usually searching for retail store items that have landed here. I personally don’t care too much for the made-​for-​factory stuff because it lacks detail and style. (Most of what you find here is the generic made-​for-​factory stuff.)
Like the rest of the outlet center, if I am coming here to shop I am sure to come at off peak times to avoid the craziness I described above.

My sister n’law convinced my wife to head on over here to check it out. I went with the twins to make sure she did not go «overboard» on spending.
Right when you walk in, there is a staff member to greet you. The employee was handing out 30% off flyers to everyone. Of course, that just made my wife more eager to check things out. This outlet had a large assortment to browse through. The shop was pretty clean and well organized as well even amidst all the people.
As my wife, sister n’law, and mother n’law browsed, my father n’law, the twins, and myself relaxed on seats next to one of the entrances. Made waiting more tolerable because we weren’t out in the heat, and the chairs were comfortable.
After about 30 minutes, my wife found a purse from the Clearance section that she really liked. Even better it fit the budget. The purse was originally $ 198.00, and she ended up spending a total of $ 57.45 on it out the door. Not a bad deal!
Because of that I am a fan, and I’ll take my wife here again the next time we’re in the area.

This is always one of the stores I hit while shopping at the Carlsbad Premium Outlets located in Carlsbad, California. They have a large inventory and occasionally some really good deals.
The store itself is large, clean and brightly lit proudly displaying various colors of leather items from Coach including shoulder bags and satchels to clutches and diaper bags as well as key rings, belts, iPhone and iPad cases. You can also check out the Coach Outlet link on their main website, but you usually get better deals at the store.
The prices are good here, but are even better when they are handing out coupons as you enter the store. Usually it’s twenty or thirty percent off, but once I was very lucky to receive a rare fifty percent off coupon. At fifty percent off, you cannot leave the store without buying something for yourself or a gift for someone else.

Unilocal 100 Review Challenge 2014

Really huge Coach store… what else to say? It’s just like any old Coach store but bigger than your regular priced store.
Prices are decent here! Especially when you shop here at Black Friday & hand out 50% off coupons :) :) :) :)!

I always feel like a kid at a candy store when I shop here. With so many pretty bags, wonderful customer service, and great sales, this Coach Outlet store is highly addictive.
This store is a handbag nirvana. There are plenty of great colors and styles to choose from. Whether you like beautiful spring colors or a nice neutral, it’s all here. They have cute crossbody bags, great satchels/​shoulder bags, and lovely larger totes.
When I walked in the door, I found two bags I liked immediately. One was an adorable crossbody and the other was a really nice satchel. When I couldn’t make a decision, a friendly salesperson, named Dee, came to my rescue. I usually wear a crossbody, and the satchel was just so fun that I had to get it. When the bag had a scratch, Dee found me the last available bag from the back! Woohoo!
When I was looking around the store, I also received a coupon (50% off handbags and 65% off clearance items) towards my new purchase. With 65% off, I was even more excited about getting that cute new handbag! This store also had a good selection of wallets on sale here too.
I have to say how wonderful my shopping experience was here. Whether I was needing help with choosing the right style of handbag or purchasing my items with the cashier, everyone was really friendly and helpful here. The store was really busy, and I got in and out so quickly. I was also impressed by how patient everyone who worked here was.
Whether I’m shopping for gifts for family and friends or looking for the occasional bag for myself, this is one of my favorite stores!
