bocamimi Posted November 22, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2019 What designers are available? Do they offer Coach or Kate Spade? Should you buy at the beginning of the cruise or later? Do they run a sale? Have SBC to use up. Thanks fellow shoppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loving goldens Posted November 22, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Kate Spade and Michael Kors... I do not remember Coach being for sale.. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEcruzr Posted November 22, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2019 In October on Equinox I saw a LOT of Michael Kors, a fair amount of 2019 Kate Spade, some Furla, and a few Brahmin. The usual selections. The newest addition (for me) was a nice display of Mary Francis bags. Bags of all brands ranged from sticker price to half price. I saw no additional sales of brand name bags. They used to have a "special sale" on a sea day when they would pull out bags not previously on display... but not this cruise. If you see something you want, buy it but keep the tags on it. If they have a sale and you find something you like better, return the first bag. 🙂 They don't often have duplicates of the deeply discounted items. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocamimi Posted November 22, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Thank you for the tips. I have bought Furla and Kate Spade on other ships. I did get a great price on the Kate bag on the last cruise, I didn't remember if they had Coach. I think I will check the bags at the beginning for the best selection and watch for a sale.

ScubaDo Posted November 22, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I believe I saw Coach on The Edge. No idea about any sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_dream Posted November 22, 2019 #6 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I have no idea about the Edge, but I have never seen Coach on any other of the Celebrity ships and I have sailed them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a beautiful MK tote bag on the silhouette while on a Scandinavian cruise over 3 years ago. Rose gold with MK initials in the pattern. I had NR obc to use and the last night it suddenly appeared. The girl onboard said she found it in the stockroom. Lots of pockets inside and very roomy. It was the only one there so grabbed it.

I really wasn't in the market for a bag but in all honesty I've used the last 3 winter seasons. I recently splurged and bought a Longchamp one which I can fold up and take on my next cruise. That was also at a duty free store in the Caribbean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted November 22, 2019 #10 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) They definitely had Coach on Edge. Edited November 22, 2019 by Jim_Iain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorky Posted November 23, 2019 #13 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Wait until the last day of the cruise. Last two cruises my wife has purchased a Micheal Kors bag the last day for half price. They add a couple at a time towards the end of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably how I got my beautiful rose gold MK bag. Showed up on the last night of cruise. Only one. Had lots of use from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only bought it since there was obc to use. I just came off a cruise where St Maarten was one of my ports of call and there is a Longchamps store where I snagged a limited edition travel bag salesperson said prices are 30% cheaper than in the US and because it's a French port they sell for same cost as in France. I had already priced locally at home and after doing some calculations worked out $180 cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted November 23, 2019 #17 Share Posted November 23, 2019 No high end designers like LV, Prada or Gucci- Really some MK and Kate Spade- 2nd tier designers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah_e_p Posted November 23, 2019 #18 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I was on the Silhouette in September and there were Kate Spade bags as well as a good selection of beautiful Bulgari bags too. I wish I’d bought one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. You can buy these at any outlet mall cheaper. LV, Prada etc are real designer bags. The others are all made in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavonHuber Posted August 20, 2022 #21 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I think it's easier to find a replica than a designer bag. I've been chasing a designer bag for almost a year, and I only found out that I had to make a pre-order. I started looking for alternatives when I was told that the amount would be almost $ 5,000. Anyway, at https://www.aaabag.nu/, I found one just like it. Although I know that the expensive, exclusive bags do not have identification labels, I had to rip these (misspelled on purpose) to the bag like the original.

Cruise a holic Posted August 20, 2022 #22 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I would never order on line- so many fakes out. You should go directly to a LV shop or a true first rate department store that carries the line- ie. Macy's in Manhattan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sun bum Posted August 20, 2022 #23 Share Posted August 20, 2022 We just got back from the Equinox. They had LV bags, but beware the bags they sell are "gently used" bags" not new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmas gran Posted August 20, 2022 #24 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Fake designer are not allowed in some countries, I believe Australia is one. I am wondering how a 2 year old thread got here 🤔🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are LV but these are authentic, pre-owned. Just like the Rolex watches they sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
