Coach in Nordstrom Anniv. Sale

What do the patent leather Gallery totes look like? Are they the same as the Bleeker patent leather totes posted on the Coach web site?

They are similar to the 11500 - you can see them on eBay. They are not huge totes.

Thank you so much for your replies, noshoepolish and greenpixie.

Yes, similar to those - the handles are a bit different and the 3 colors I saw look exactly like the new Bleeker tote colors - the blue, plum and mahogony patent.

Thank you for your reply as well, Suzzeee. I think that I'll be a good girl this month and just hold out until the next Coach PCE. I've only got two Coach bags on my Wish List thus far and I'm not in a rush to acquire them.

Yes but Nordies sale is cheaper than PCE...

Unfortunately, Nordstrom's won't be including the patent leather Sophie or the Bleecker signature/leather totes as part of the upcoming anniversary sale. Those are the only two Coach bags that I'm currently interested in. However, I'm going to stop by my local Nordstom's on Sunday with my mom to see if there's anything she's interested in so that our SA can set it aside for us.

Great info. Do you think the straps are long enough for a shoulder tote? If you don't have a Nordie's charge, can you still get the sale price? Thanks!

Some SAs will presale to anyone that asks - others need "proof".

I've done presales and don't have a Nordies card or get the postcard either. I've never been denied. However, a couple of the SAs know me well, so maybe that's the reason.

I was just there today and the SA, who knows me, took me in the 'special room' where the presales were. Believe it or not, I didn't find a thing. Only one Coach and that was the gallery tote, which is a special edition just for their sale. It is really nice, but I did not like the shortness of the straps. The blue color is the blue of the Bleecker patent tote. The inside is plain blue lining -- not sig. # is 12820W. Sale price like $284. Also comes in black and brown patent.

Yeah it wasn't as good this year as last I don't think plus some of the bags haven't even shown up yet - I ordered the Botkier Bryant in the Burgandy patent but they didn't even have a sample yet so hope I like it. They did have some nice MJ and MBMJ bags, but I really don't need another satchel and if I do get one I think it will be the Sabrina.

It's a little different than this one because the straps don't adjust. But like I said, the blue is gorgeous.

Crappy pic, but this is it. It is the small gallery tote size, very pretty. Looks very "fresh" in person with the nickel hardware. Interior is gray. Does have small feet on the bottom.
