tazmancruiser Posted March 26, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Has anyone ever shopped at the wholesale coach store in San Juan? Did you find prices cheaper and some bargains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prayfordaylight Posted March 26, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Prices are comparable to any Coach factory store in the US. Sales are the same - it just depends what the deal is the day you go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TamaLee Posted March 26, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 26, 2014 You can find some great deals if you dig around. The shelves are deep and sometimes you can find a purse for $40 or $50 hidden in the back. The store is in a nice area with a couple of other high end discount stores. But the most important part is there's a bar across the street that has fabulous mojito's for the men to enjoy while waiting and the ladies to have after their day of shopping.

micmacmissy Posted March 26, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Don't get too excited...it isn't a big warehouse. Really just a regular US outlet store, and not even a big one at that. And keep in mind that like most Coach outlet stores, the purses sold there are manufactured specifically for the outlets...meaning they are not as high quality as standard Coach purses. That said, some outlet stores occasionally carry full price Coach products at a discount, but the majority of what you find will be specifically manufactured for the outlet store.

vickila Posted March 26, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Dooney and Bourke are on the next corner. Pricing is good. All built on hills so stepss involved. Vicki Edited March 26, 2014 by vickila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texancruzer Posted March 26, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I've gotten much better deals online……. but San Juan does have some very neat boutique type stores all along that same street that I LOVE to shop in !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted March 31, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I got two nice, small bags in November at very good prices. Disagree about the outlets only carrying made-for-outlet bags. I've purchased several bags in the outlet stores that I'd seen in the full-price mall store where I live. Yes, I had to wait a year to get them, but having The latest style and color is not important to me. I hadn't even intended to go to the store. I'd checked into my cabin and dropped my carry-on bags and wanted to go out and walk up to the City Gate (I was sailing solo). After I did that, I was just hiking back toward the ship, feeling extremely hot and wanting some a/c, which I normally detest. I was standing on a street corner, trying to decide whether to continue on or turn when I looked up and realized I was in front of the Coach store. I figured it was destiny. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss_rach Posted July 13, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 13, 2014 All, How do we get to these stores? Going in 2 weeks on Carnival Sunshine and wife and daughter told me that I have to get them there before we do anything else. If its not in walking distance where do we get a cab or bus?

sail7seas Posted July 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Assuming you have no mobility issues, it is about 10 minute walk from the ship but uphill. 150 Calle del Cristo Edited July 14, 2014 by sail7seas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kona_wahine Posted July 15, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) To find out if a coach bag is from a full price store or a factory store, check out the serial number. If the second part of the numbers stars with an F then it was made for a factory store. These bags aren't as a high quality as a full price bag. Me, I carry one with an F. :). We have a factory store here so no desire to go to one on a trip. Same items from what I saw. I got a much better deal online.
