You don't have to pay full price for a real Coach bag! There are some secrets to getting coach discounts.

Below I have listed a few reliable ways to find real coach discounts at retail stores and online. The sales are out there, you just have to know where to look!

Tip: Sign up online at the official Coach.com site for e-mails so you get alerts to sales.

I stumbled upon a Coach outlet store in my area of Texas where I found purse sales for 75% off original price. Ever since, I can't bring myself to pay the original retail ticket of the item. You can find the signature collection purses, seasonal handbags, coach sneakers, belts and more at the Coach Outlet stores. In the regular mall Coach store locations I have made a purchase and later was mailed a coupon for the Coach store so repeat shoppers get great discounts.

50-75% off Coach Handbags, accessories, shoes, sunglasses

Many 3rd party sellers at places like Amazon and eBay do buy a lot of items from the Coach outlets and pass the savings along to you. It is possible to find authentic Coach handbags online. Read seller reviews and customer comments first and don't every buy if you are suspicious.

eBay and other online sites are a good place to find gently worn Coach items at a discount. If you don't mind buying second-hand items, you can save a lot of money. Stores like Plato's closet and Buffalo Exchange get in good product, but you have to hunt for it. Buffalo Exchange and the better GoodWill Boutique can be the unexpected place to find your next deal. The GoodWill boutique stores are located in the more affluent area where donations for name brand merchandise can be sent and the market demand for brand names is greater.
