TKMax/ Outlets

A friend of mine who owns a clothes shop recently told me how he considers he was duped by a fairly well known clothing brand in the UK, into stocking their products, when they told him he would be the only stockist in quite a wide radius. He later found out that the brand is stocked in TKMaxx . When he challenged the brand about this they basically told him, don't worry, TKM doesn't get the "real deal" , they get different products which have the same label but aren't made to the same quality. Understandably he wasn't best satisfied with this answer. I wasn't surprised to hear this because I know how outlets and TK Maxx work but it was apparently news to him. Anyway it got me thinking about what other brands do this and how widely understood the practice is. Has anyone ever seen (or made) a list or guide to which labels do this sort of thing? TKM is often packed with PRL for example, but often the products look cheap or poor quality compared to what you see in proper PRL stores.
