That's a shame because it would be beautiful in the fall.

Don't let anyone pressure you. If you want the least hassle, and returning it does that for you, then return it. If the Carmino isn't the right color for you, then it's not a bad decision. I can love certain colors and still know that they aren't something i would use.

The good thing about the Saks promotion is you can get the discount on classic colors. At the BV stores, classic colors are never on sale (that's what I've heard)

I love carmino, it's so beautiful. But then, i don't have any BV in Carmino except a pair of balle flat that have been worn only 3 times. This color just does not work for me. So if you know you won't be using it much, then return it. You will never regret a black Veneta.

Will a Saks charge card allow you to take advantage of the F&F sale? Can you do this by phone?

Just my very own opinion. If the colour isn't for me, yes I'll return and wait till October to get it in a preferred colour and at a discount.

But if the colour is not an issue, ie., if you do like Carmino - then better think twice. Cos come October, tho' you may save 25%, you may not get the seasonal Carmino anymore!

For myself, I've never mind paying more for the colour and the design that I really want. I feel it's not worth saving 25% and having to settle for second best.

Good luck to your final decision. Do whatever makes you happy, even if it means having to spend a little bit more money . As I feel, money can be earned, whereas the bag that you want may not come by again!

Strictly no offense intended - just my remarks from lesssons learnt.

It's a shame that you are planning to return the carmino. I just got mine recently and love it to death. It's such a beautiful and gorgeous person but then again I'm a 'red' person. My wallet and phone are both red.

The lovely carmino is also a seasonal colour so you may not be able to get it in future if you change your mind.

That said, if red is not your colour then go ahead to get a classic colour. After all it's your opinion that matters since you are carrying the bag.

Awww!! Bummer that Carmino is not the right colour for you, cos it's SOOOOOO gorgeous!

But no point in holding on to a bag that is much loved by everyone else other than yourself. Go with your heart, and congrats in advance on getting a Black Veneta on 25%
