I have been wearing my black one whenever I go out and I love the rose but I really wanted another neutral color, too. So I kept calling JAX and I was told they had 1 in the system but couldn't sell it to me, don't know why. So I kept calling back until I got someone who would sell it. He said he couldn't guarantee I would get it since it said there was only 1 left but it came today, my british tan bleecker flap!!

Oh, wow, I didn't even know they made that color!

funny u mention about wanting another. i came across a black one that i had to have.

Pursanista · Jun 26th, 2008, 12:38 PM

If they couldn't sell what in the world were they going to do with it? Maybe it was slated for an outlet store? Strange. I'm glad you finally got it!

greenpixie · Jun 26th, 2008, 12:47 PM

^^^

From what I understand they have a special order process if there are less than 5 of an item in the system. With only one, there is probably too great of a likelihood that it may have already been sold or be a system error, so they would rather tell a customer no than offer it to them and have to retract it later.

Very nice!
Can't go wrong w/ British Tan!

A bag I was looking for once was also the "last" one in their system.
They told me the same - they'd take the order, but not guranantee it'd really be in stock to package/send.
I ended up buying from the bay since Coach would have charged me the full price even though the bag was at the outlets since forever.

Babidius--I need help with the color.

I called two outlets--one has a black one on hold for me. The other had a "natural" and a "tobacco". Is one of these colors the one you got? She didn't say anything about British tan. I just called back, and asked her to put both the natural and the tobacco on hold. She said the tobacco is a darker, richer color--like coffee with a little cream.

Any insight into the color? Was yours called British tan?

TIA.

babidius · Jun 30th, 2008, 09:10 PM

The one I got is British Tan but I bought it full price from JAX but it will be going back becuae I found one on ebay today for half the price. When I was at the outlet I was told they only had white in the system so I don't think there are a lot of other colors so I would scoop them up. I think the tobacco sounds really nice. I remember seeing it in a dark brown on the website months ago, I bet that is the same color. Post pics when you get them!!
