Yep, there are many things specifically made for the outlets, Rack, etc-though some of the things are returns from the main stores too. My closest shopping, aside from little independent shops, is an outlet mall. Some of the shops in there are just low cost places like ON and Loft, then there are higher end shops like Coach, Kate Spade.
My advice is, no matter the price/ "discount": look over everything carefully. Be very picky. Check seams, make sure the fabric is substantial, etc. Gems can be found.
