Is that a Coach Bag?

Everyone loves Coach bags! They are so popular that even counterfeit purses are manufactured overseas and sold on the streets of New York for ridiculous prices for a fake bag. If you think that I'm going hand you a Benjamin for a fake bag in a back alley, you are out of your mind Mister! So dilemma, I want a real Coach bag but don't want to pay hundreds of $ for a bag at the Mall. What's a girl to do?

Here's a test for you. Which one of these bags is real and bought at less than retail price?

Bag A

Bag B

Bag C






Bag D

The answer is they are all real, genuine Coach bags however Bag B is the only bag I bought for retail (love at first site, I couldn't resist). The rest were brand new for 50-60% off. Where?

Not on Ebay, but right here in Georgia at the North Georgia Premium Outlets in Dawsonville. About 30 minutes north of 285 off GA 400. For all of you who don't know, there is a Coach Outlet that is AMAZING! They were so popular that they expanded this year to be bigger and better. All styles are current (later in the season) or last year's style. But to tell you the truth, I couldn't tell that they were "older" styles. They looked fabulous! There are wallets, belts, shoes, watches, and of course bags in every style both fabric and leather all for at least 30% off retail pricing PLUS they always have additional markdowns: 30-60% depending on style. They have Carly bags, Hampton bags, Legacy bags, etc. Don't pay retail at the Mall, go to the Outlets!



NGPOs is my fave place to go clothes shopping as well because they have J. Crew, Banana Republic, the Gap, Ann Taylor, among others. Even designer styles for guys like Polo, Nautica, Tommy Hilfinger, Brooks Brothers, etc. For the home designer in you, Pottery Barn, William Sonoma, and Restoration Hardware stock many items from duvet covers to furniture at discount pricing.

And for the real savvy shopper, there is a VIP club. You get extra special discounts by visiting the information booth in the food court and picking up a coupon booklet. BTW, the food court isn't that good so eat lunch beforehand.

And for shop purse-aholics that love Kate Spade, there is a shop right around the corner from the food court! Discount pricing on Kate Spade? Gotta love it!

Hint: NGPO is having a huge sale over July 4th weekend. There's always coupons to be found to stack up on the deals! Bring your walking shoes and a drink! There's some shopping to do this weekend!
