Costco Sells Surprisingly High-End Name Brands That You Need to Know About

June 6, 2020

Swarovski home decor. Coach handbags. Prada perfume. No, this isn’t a shopping list for your next trip to Bergdorf Goodman. These are items you’d actually find at wholesale retailer Costco. Yes, that Costco that carries a 24-pack of Truly hard seltzer for less than $25; and yes, that Costco that sells a popular sheet cake that feeds 48 for $20. Because Costco is much more than your go-to grocery store for deep discounts on bulk buys. Costco also carries clothing and accessories, home decor and furniture, and even electronics — by recognizable and high-end name brands.

In the clothing department, you might’ve known that Costco carries brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, and Birkenstock. But, did you know that Costco also sells handbags and wallets by name brands, like Coach, Burberry, Kate Spade, Prada, and Yves Saint Laurent? Even the beauty department carries luxury brands; think Chanel, La Mer, Versace, and Aveda, to name a few.

But how is Costco able to secure such brands?

“We can go in and buy huge quantities of something where the manufacturer’s volumes have been cut by other merchants and really drive great value and people love it and … give even a greater value to the customer,” Costco CFO Richard Galanti said last May, according to Seeking Alpha.
