Completely Annoyed: Japan site has Bridgit in Teal!

shoperadictgirl · Jul 23rd, 2008, 10:10 AM

Just went to the Japan site to see if it's updated (it's not), they have the Bridgit still available in teal! I ordered the Legacy shoulder bag in teal because my local boutique (OKC, OK) told me there were no more available Bridgit's in teal, only black. Why wouldn't the Japan site availability show through the US boutiques computer info? Does that make sense? It's all Coach, why isn't it linked together: Japan, US, JAX, etc.? When the SA look up availability, are they looking through JAX? I don't understand

! Someone please explain

.

Oh another thing, Japan's pic for teal 'Bridgit' is more how everyone's pics are looking IRL that are posted on tPF: kind of aqua. The shoulder bag is more of a teal, on their website -- like the US. Both bags are made of the same leather, right?

I have been told many times at the Boutique that something isn't available and I call JAX and it is.

Yeah, both bags are the same. The way it works is that they release some items strictly for the Asian market. If you can catch a Japan item before it leaves JAX, you can order it. If not, then they can't get it for you. Also Japan prices are higher...I thought someone said it's almost double the prices here for the same item usually. But if you can get it from JAX, it will be US prices.

There may still be some Macys and Dillards that have the teal Bridgit, or keep watching eBay too. It doesn't hurt to get your name on a client tracker list at the outlet, although I think originally there were only like 50 sunflower and around 300 teal Bridgits. The sunflower sold out immediately, and they might have added some teal stock once, but I imagine it's harder to find this color than the others.

The outlets were only selling it for 20% off the factory price, which I believe was $369. I would have to check my receipts to confirm it, but I found the camel and black there. They could have been returns, but the truth is even before it's pulled off the website, some stores start transferring their stock to the outlets earlier. That happened last month when there was a huge wave of retail bags that hit the outlet. Most of the transfers were shipped and arrived 2-3 days after they were pulled from the website, but some of that had already been occurring a little bit along from some stores. There are even some NJ stores that still have the same wallets that were in mass quantities at the PA outlets. I bought two Hamptons wallets for $89 that are still selling full price around here, and they had a reasonable stock at several outlets I went to for these!

This might be a silly question but you never know till you ask so: what is JAX?

JAX is Jacksonville Florida it is where the main Coach warehouse is.
