Coach

One of the better stores in this Outlet Mall. Ladies, take a trip inside Coach. There are items for under $ 50. Hit the clearance section and seek out coupons. The sales people are more than happy to calculate prices for you, just ask. On my last visit I was handed a 50% off everything in the store coupon plus another 30% off clearance items. What is a girl to do… buy, buy, buy!
When you buy a Coach Purse or Wallet you are making an investment. These purses and wallets last for years and years. Once you purchase with Coach you will be in their system. Give them a real email address for great online sales. Ask them to wrap the purse even if it is for you… indulge your inner diva.

There are two sides to this store, one for women and one for men. I’ve visited twice, once each year during 4^th of July week and both times found some great deals on high quality stuff. You can easily score things at 50% off or more and maybe 75% off during special events like the summer clearance sale. This time I got a $ 75 leather wallet for $ 29. Last year I got a great briefcase and day bag at similar discounts.
Don’t let the sparse merchandising approach fool you — there are tons of great deals on men’s belts, bags and cool accessory items in the store.

My sister-​in-​law is a professional outlet shopper and whenever I am in town we head to the Osage Beach outlet mall. I have been to many Coach Factory Outlets (including the one closest to my home in Dawsonville, GA) and for some reason the Osage outlet blows the others out of the water. I don’t know why, but this outlet gets the best selection and always has the best prices (from my experiences). This past weekend I got an $ 800 bag I had been eyeing for $ 240. AMAZING! On a previous shopping trip I got a $ 400 bag for $ 150. I have also purchased clutches, wristlets and other accessories at unbelievable prices.
I had to take a star off because it was difficult to find anyone on the sales floor for help this past weekend. I think they have cut back their staff since I was here a year ago. The ladies at the counter were extremely friendly and tried to help as best they could with answering questions from the floor while tending to customers at the register. Overall a great shopping experience and I will definitely return next time in in MO.
