  1. Anyone else think hope looks like Lexi Reveria in the thumbnail?

  2. @10:27 who's creeping in the background? On the right?

  3. Anything wrong iF they are made in Vietnam?

  4. I got Air Force ones and they came in an orange box?

  5. 10:24 Look who's being Mr. "Sneaky Sneaky" behind you . . . 😆🤣😂😹😆🤣😂

  6. I've worked for several outlet companies and discount stores. 90% of the clothes came sealed straight from the factory and they would send half to the non-outlet stores but sold for more. The quality isn't as good in outlets or discount stores.

    I know i am 2 years late but what was Tyler doing in the background 🤣🤣🤣 @hopescope

  8. I have really like the selection and quality of the handbags and accessories in Coach Outlet at Camarillo, CA and online. NIKE not so much – I prefer to shop at Dick's Sporting Goods for gym shoes

  9. I recently went into my local Nike outlet on a whim and they had a really cute cropped fleece top that I had seen at Dick's not too long ago at a drastically reduced price. There were matching joggers, but I couldn't find them at the outlet. So I went online to the nike website and not only is the top on there (in the colour I bought mind you) it's also FULL PRICE!!!! Sometimes you can score good deals at outlets. lol

  10. I love that shirt your wearing!

  11. I love outlet stores!

    Worked in a Nike factory a few years ago! Red tags and boxes are sportwear items: made for everyday wear, not designed for sports. Orange tags and boxes are items to practice different kind of activities/sports. These items have special technologies in the clothes or shoes that helps for the activities they were made for (running, training, basketball, etc.). ☺️

  13. No one will see this comment two years in, but I worked at the official Nike store at Mall of America (I am assuming one of the most legit stores away from the west coat) and I don't recall any of their boxes for either sex/gender, style, life vs training, etc ever being anything beyond the orange box. I haven't even finished watching the video and I think anything not the standard orange box IS MADE FOR THE OUTLET. Sorry not sorry

  14. As someone who worked in a few different stores in an "Outlet Mall" some stores were actually outlets and some were regular stores that just had a larger clearance section. In the Justice store I worked in we had the exact same product ,at the same time, as the store in regular malls however we got a lot of clearance shipped in from other stores. I also worked in some actual outlet stores that the product was made for outlet but would also get some overstock or clearance from retail. So just because it is in an outlet mall does not mean its actually an outlet store. If the store name doesn't actually say outlet or factory store you can pretty much safely assume its not an outlet.

  15. I'd be curious to see how they are now. In Washington we have a few outlet malls…and they prices are still higher then some of the cheaper items made for outlets. But they do have someone that will give you a coupon for a discounted price…

    Went to an actual Lululemon store yesterday & spent hours trying on leggings and talking about Hopescope 💞 the employees were so sweet for a newcomer like me! Got the best leggings ever. Spent a good.$1k on my 1st trip. Thx Hope!

  17. Am i the only one who thinks she looks so different in 2020 than she does now

  18. Ur husband walking by the mirror so funny when u we’re talking about Nike lol

  19. My neice tried to take tons of lulu roe to consignment…they didn't want any of it.

  20. This might sound like a stupid question but I really like all the clothes that your wearing during the videos. I wish there was a way to know what brand they are

  21. it would make sense to do separate cheaper versions. like : why should shien make money from our stuff? we should shien this stuff ourselves

  22. shouldnt buy nike nor adidas anyway. gross articles made by children.

  23. The shoe guy was mostly right about the shoe colors. I worked at a small boutique and would help the buyer choose items. We would mostly get the orange box Nikes for running and training and the red boxes were rare to get, but they were sneaker boots and slip ons for casual wear.

  24. It's true discount stores get specific clothes made for their stores. And many store chains get exclusives that other stores can't get. My old job would get really cute Stella M by Adidas that Nordstroms didn't get, but eventually Adidas stopped sending us Stella M. I always wondered why they pulled out because they sold well.

    Personally I had a good time with the Nike outlets

  27. 10:26 anybody else see that 😳😳🤔 I swear I saw someone sneaking around in that mirror! 🪞

  28. 10:27 look at the mirror on the right hand side video boom it’s so worth it

  29. Last week at the lulu outlet, all I could find were size 14 leggings 😫

  30. Look how empty your shelves are 😱😱😱😱

  31. I know this is two years late 😂 but I worked at Levi’s and we would always send items from the main floor that would not sale to outlet stores

  32. With Factory J. Crew, what you notice is that popular styles from the main store pop up a year or two later at the factory with slightly less nice materials (ie, rather than wool it’s wool blend). Factory also tends to repeat the same designs year over year (in skirts and sweaters) in different patterns and textiles. Banana Republic is pretty similar, though for some reason I just cannot get into BR outlet clothes.

  33. Nordstrom Rack has its own brands that you would never know are Nordstrom, that are specifically made for the rack. They have everything from home/houseware to apparel/shoes that are made much cheaper, only a small amount of Nordstrom (department store) product actually goes to the rack. The rack consists of maybe 10% of product from actual Nordstrom (high end store).

  34. I still don’t understand the price of LLL though… I was at a new mall a few weeks ago… walked into the store… saw one scrynchie for like $16 and walked out 😂

  35. This is not truth at it’s the same thing if it does not sell in the store they send it to the outlet store no offence

  36. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Im not gonna say what I want to say but the sizes that are usually gone are 8-12 not 0-6 😆 so those are the most common sizes and the rest of what want to say you can guess

  37. OMG!!! so like, Sherriden, the bedding brand have a discount store here in Australia, and they actually make a lower quality of their brand and sell at cheaper prices but advertise they were reduced from their "Top Quality" prices. so like a bath sheet they would sell at their non-discount store would sell for $150.00 they make it cheaper in quality and sell at their discount outlet for like $60.00, so damn CHEEKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  38. also, i agree and believe this !!!!!!!!!!!!!! they sooooooooooooooo do

  39. wait…how do you not immediately not rip the tags off of lululemon leggings lol…..

  40. Libra gurl and shopper too🥰 We would have a blast…I used to develop retail business and love your channel…you guys are awesome 🥰😎❤️

  41. Glad I didn’t start watching you here. You’re annoying here! I love your videos, just not this one.
