Question Best deal on the new Clyde - please help!
Dear ladies,
What is the best deal today for a Clyde - is that LunaBoston's 25% off or is there a better deal around? I must have it, but am low on funds, after splurging on MJ this month... The Clyde is amazing and super sexy and I must have it!!!
Thank you so much in advance for your advice!!

Savvy the code is luckybreaks12 - let me tell you botkier is a true classy bag and rm doesn't compare to her quality and style. I used to be rm addict but now sold all my rms except two and switched to other quality brands. I hope you find what you need at luna and use the code for 25% off!!

Shopdressonline has the black and acid yellow for $450! That's about 30% off the listed retail price of $650. You could also try contacting them about any additional codes, but I don't know if they'll let it apply to the 30% off. (If they do give any special TPF codes, though, don't forget to share! )

starkfan...thanks for the codes too!! I am ordering from whoever gives me the discount! Actually...update....shopdressonline does not have them anymore OUT OF STOCK!!! Great deal...so I don't blame anyone who got it!

savvy and mouset: Let us know what you got! I am in with the Clyde myself!

(And ITA with your take on the devote...I don't like the width of the bottom, it is very unflattering on and the studs, while cool, make it weigh a great deal).

Ladies, I am still contemplating the clyde, since I have a black trigger from last year-do you think having the clyde will be redundant? I love it so much but I love the trigger and want to keep it. Does anyone feel that the clyde resembles balenciaga bags?

sort of reminds me of the first in that it's flat and the strap is too short to wear cross body. plus it's very light. the look of the clyde is appealing but i don't like that the front zip pockets are pretty useless, the pockets under the flaps are difficult to access (you have to unhook them but then to wear the bag you have to re-hook them otherwise you have that long strap hanging down) and the handles get in the way and flop over in an unattractive way if you use the strap (jointed handles would have worked much better). i really wanted to like the clyde but decided to pass.

How do you get the 4% cash back, do we need to search through live.com?

Excellent review! Answered questions and confirmed my worst fears but saved me $$ on a bag that I would like seeing but not carrying.

I'm so happy that Clyde is back again. My first botkier is a Clyde in Mahogany. It's a very versatile bag.
