Apparel wise, I know this from working with manufacturers:
Most labels - even the high end designer labels/ fashion houses make specific lines for their outlet stores these days. In most instances, it even matches the look of their high-end merchandise but it's made of cheaper material and by a whole different skill for cutting and sewing. They are not a bargain ..They just imply that you are getting a bargain.
The real bargain merchandise should have no label on it since the brand can not afford looking like it's being liquidated. Besides people who paid full price for a piece of apparel would be pretty pissed to see it sold for 1/3 of original price 3-4 months later.
