A shopping expert posted a viral video with advice on how to find the best deals at Marshalls. However, many viewers are skeptical about the accuracy of his claims.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, a TikToker, who goes by the title Rossen Reports (@rossen.reports), posted a TikTok<\/a> claiming to know what the numbers on the tags at Marshalls indicate. The video has amassed 918,000 views as of this writing.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cYou see that number next to the box, that little one?\u201d Rossen asked, pointing at the tag of a Marshalls dress. \u201cThe numbers go like, one, two, six, seven. There\u2019s a lot of those. That number one tells you something.\u201d<\/p>\n Rossen goes on to claim that if the last number on the tag ends with a one, then \u201cit was made just for Marshalls.\u201d<\/p>\n He gives an example with a DKNY dress he found, which has a tag that ends in the number one.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThis was made just for Marshalls,\u201d he claims. \u201cThis is not for sale in the DKNY store or in full-size department stores. It says DKNY, but not really.\u201d<\/p>\n He additionally claims that each number has different meanings. The next item he showed viewers contained a tag that ended in the number two: \u201cIt means you\u2019re getting a very good deal,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n \u201cIt means that it was overstock from the main store or department store. Or, it was going to an outlet store, and there was a late shipment,\u201d Rossen continued. \u201cSo, in this case, it\u2019s a Michael Kors bag. This was the real thing, made to go to the Michael Kors outlet, and it just didn\u2019t work out because of whatever reason.\u201d<\/p>\n Many commenters were quick to argue that Rossen\u2019s claims were not quite true.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cNot sure this info is 100% accurate,\u201d wrote one viewer. \u201cThat same blue DKNY dress is sold in other stores including Macy\u2019s \u2013 therefore \u20181\u2019 can\u2019t mean it\u2019s made for Marshall\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n While Rossen\u2019s claims about specific price tag numbers are compelling, there\u2019s no public evidence that Marshalls uses a universal, shopper-facing code system where the final digit reliably explains an item\u2019s origin. Marshalls has not yet responded to AllHipHop\u2019s request for comment to confirm the accuracy of Rossen\u2019s claims.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n What is well-documented, however, is that off-price retailers like Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, and Ross Dress for Less operate under a sourcing model that mixes multiple types of inventory. It is extremely common for these stores to sell a combination of true overstock, canceled department-store orders, and items manufactured specifically for off-price distribution.<\/p>\n Marshalls<\/a> has confirmed that it frequently works with brands to produce lower-cost lines exclusively for discount retailers. Often, these items are made using cheaper materials or simplified designs while still legally bearing the brand name. This practice allows brands to protect their full-price image while still profiting from value-focused shoppers. That means an item sold at Marshalls can be considered \u201creal\u201d in the legal sense, even if it never existed in a flagship store.<\/p>\n AllHipHop reached out to Rossen for comment via direct message and Marshalls for comment via email.
