Love high ends purses without the high end price?
You should check out Carried Away formerly known as New High End.
They carry the same brand name purses that department stores carry, like Coach, Michael Kors and Burberry. Carried Away sells true authentic brand purses but at 40 to 70 percent off the retail price.
Wondering how they can offer true authentic purses like Coach for at least 40 percent off retail?
Brent, one of the owners, explained that they have a contract with a major department store.
Carried Away gets all of their returns or bags with slight manufacturer imperfections.
Brent says some of the bags are just brand new.
Their return policy is that they guarantee the authenticity of any handbag purchased from their store and will back it up with a "DOUBLE YOUR MONEY BACK" guarantee.
Do keep in mind they will allow exchanges on "perfect bags" for up to 10 days after your purchase.
If you purchase an “imperfect bag” it will not carry a warranty from them, that also includes handbags which have been discounted 50% or more.
When I recently checked out the store they had a slightly imperfect Coach handbag, it had a few marks on the back of the purse.
The Coach purse retails for $358 but at Carried Away it was discounted at 60% off retail, bringing that price down to $160, not a bad deal if you like those brand purses.
Purses in perfect condition will have a minimum discount of 40% off retail. Handbags that have imperfections are usually discounted at 40 to 70 percent off retail.
• Perfect: No signs of previous handling
• Almost Perfect: Small and unnoticeable marks and/or paint nicks
• Beautiful, But: Signs of wear or marks in visible areas
• Super Loved: Definite signs of wear and/or missing parts
Remember to do your research before purchasing anything, so you know you are getting a good price.
Also, if you have a place in town that has some amazing deals please share.
