Default Uh, no, that is not an Escada...
Funny story, today I was at South Coast Plaza, AKA the Mother Ship. I was searching for a good business suit for a meeting where the Board of Directors of the organization I work for are presenting me with an award (another story), so I needed a NICE suit. I finally stumbled into Escada and had placed my white baby cabas on a display counter to try on a jacket to determine size ~~when I turned around to see a woman picking up my cabas and putting it on her shoulder! The SA was lightening fast, and grabbed the woman and gently removed the poor cabas from her arm saying "no no dear, this is Chanel, not Escada"..

It was pretty funny, I think...

Aw gosh H, that is so sweet. I was given an award called the Equity award, which is ~and I quote, these are not my words I promise~ "individual who has demonstrated superior leadership, innovation, and strategy, who has been identified by the Board as a top performer and a crucial asset to the organization".
I really thought they had made a mistake when I heard about it...

OMG Irish! The same thing happens to me ALL the time when I go to the Mother Ship! I almost fell off my chair laughing because my nickname for SCP is also the Mother Ship. I'd say 9 out of 10 times when I go to the boutique or a dept store, someone always ends up fondling my bag. I never set my bag down on the counter anymore. The most recent event happened a few weeks ago when a lady fondled my bag while it was still on my shoulder. I felt something tugging at my bag so I turned around and saw a lady with her paws all over my bag. She wasn't just lightly touching my bag either, she had a kung-fu grip on it and was squeezing the life out of the quiltings. My SA was horrified. I tried to laugh it off, but was ready to blow my top.

OH MY GOSH!!!!!

A similar thing happened to me when I went to coach one day. I was wearing a Burberry and I set it down to try on a coach and some guy took my bag and was like...wearing it off BUT the SA's didn't say anything! I HAD to ask the guy back for it. I mean, come one! no display handbag would be THAT heavy even if it was stuffed like no tomorrow with tissue paper! So, I totally understand you shock!
