Dave,

Leather goods often have a suggested retail price sticker preprinted by the manufacturer. For example, Coach and Etienne Aigner's prices are the same in each store you go into, but I do see them go on a 25% off sale every now and then. I can't make any guess though if there is a contract involved to always sell at the suggested retail price. Both lines also have stores in outlet malls.
