WARNING: Costco Is Quietly Selling Real Designer Bags — 8 Every Woman Over 50 Should Grab

WARNING: Costco Is Quietly Selling Real Designer Bags — 8 Every Woman Over 50 Should Grab Prada. Burberry. Tory Burch. Coach. Marc Jacobs. Kate Spade. Michael Kors. Every one of those labels has appeared on the Costco handbag table. Not one of them advertises it anywhere. There is a reason for that, and it is not a conspiracy. It is a contract. When a luxury house lets stock reach a warehouse club, it does so on the condition that nobody says so. The house does not announce it. Costco does not advertise it. The bags appear on a folding table near the jewellery case, sell through in weeks, and are never mentioned again. Eight of those labels are worth grabbing. Three things on that same table are not what most shoppers think they are. And handbags are the category where this matters most, because a handbag is the one purchase where almost nobody knows what they are actually paying for. With a sweater you can read the fibre. With a bag, the tag says leather and stops talking.
