Does yoox sell outlet clothing?

After the brouhaha surrounding Gilt and it's specially made cheaper clothes, does anybody know if yoox does the same? The same issue regarding maintainable supply seems to apply here as well. Some of the items on yoox have a starting price that is considerably lower than 50% off; such as the recent addition (and prompt reduction) of Common Project shoes for $130. Might these be outlet models?

I don't know for sure. I assume that they are closeouts since they appear to have a very random selection of styles, sizes and colors as well as varying quantities.

Some garments are inferior quality and possibly made for companies like Yoox (and outlets). I have a Versace top that was apparently worth £110 but on sale for £34, Versace in London had a similar top but the quality was far superior.

Some garments are made for different countries; for example I have a Prada sports jacket, on the inside label it says 'For Australia Only'.

Other garments are just cheaper. I got a Prada coat that was on sale, the coat was the same quality available at Prada stores at a similar price to what the Yoox RRP was.


Yoox is like a lottery. It seems they get garments from everywhere, depending on your research and luck you can end up with a bargain or something that should be returned.

SF could really do with a list of brands that produce stuff exclusively for outlets, with pictures of labels / countries of origin.

This would be very useful for online shopping. I suppose in a brick and mortar outlet if you like the item and it seems to be of a reasonable price to quality ratio, there's nothing to worry about.
