Hi experts!
It's been very enlightening to read all your thoughtful responses to authentication questions, so I was wondering what your thoughts are on designer products from outlets. If I understand correctly, outlets (either brand-specific outlet stores or stores like Bloomingdale's outlet or Nordstrom Rack) often sell products that are inferior in some way (e.g. not the typical quality standards, or specially manufactured products for outlet sale). What is the relationship between this type of quality difference and authenticity?
Thanks!

Even if quality happens to turn out to be lower, authenticity is a non-issue.

Agree w city. Non issue and outlet quality varies House to House. Basically I look for items that came from retail as opposed to those made specifically for the outlets.
Look for items that are only there in singles or several pieces only.
