Laughing at myself now. I'm in a silly mood - strange as I came home with such a migraine I seriously thought I was going to on the train. What is it with florescent strip lighting?
Thanks!! Tha scarf is really warm and good for daily use!! Congrats on your new scarf too!!

I hope you are feeling better with your migraine !!

It ends up being an even better deal. I had a 10% off coupon and I didn't have to pay the 9.6% tax that they charge here in Washington. So for me, it is almost like a 40% savings. I have bought several bags from BF and for the most part, they have been current season bags. And I have always had a 10% or 15% off coupon.

Hehe. Both my DH's and DD's initials are GG. My DH doesn't care for designer anything but likes and wears Gucci because of the GG.

Thanks for posting those Crystal_Dallas. I didn't get that email. Sometimes when the files are too large - my work blocks them.

I was reading the newpaper this morning and it says the Vacaville Gucci outlet was burglarized early Friday morning. The glass doors were broken and merchandise was stolen. How sad. I wonder if the store will remain closed for a period of time.

^^oh, wow - that's awful - I was going to try to stop by on Monday because I was going to be in the area - I'll have to call first! I wonder how much stuff was stolen -- their stock was fairly low but they had a case full of exotics in there - I'll bet those were grabbed for sure!

Never mind the crocs they probably heard there was an Aviatrix Boston. Only kidding.

This guys is why our bags are so expensive - because in the end it is us that will pay for all the rises of insurance premiums and increased security of stores and outlets.

papertiger - your so right that us as the consumer will end up paying for these types of things through higher prices.

Suzzeee- Sounds like you right on about what was stolen. See the article below.


Burglars Smash Way Into Gucci Outlet Store

Posted: 8:36 am PST November 6, 2009Updated: 8:37 am PST November 6, 2009

VACAVILLE -- Burglars used a sledgehammer to bust their way into a Gucci outlet store early Friday morning.
Officers responded to the Vacaville Premium Outlets mall on Nut Tree Road where, at around 4 a.m., three suspects got into the Gucci outlet store by using a sledgehammer to shatter the front door, according to the Vacaville Police Department.
The burglars apparently shattered several display cases inside the store and stole purses and sunglasses. They fled in a dark-colored Volkswagen Jetta or Passat, according to police.
The suspects were described as men between 18 and 24 years old, two with thin builds and one with a heavy build, according to police. One was seen wearing a dark-colored hoodie, the second was in a dark coat and a beanie cap and the third wore a white button-up dress shirt and a blazer.
Anyone with information about the burglary is asked to contact the Vacaville Police Department at (707) 449-5200.

Sunglasses? Why go to all that bother for sunglasses, they won't even be worth much without cases anyway. Amateurs!
