My DH and I spent the night in Chicago friday night and as we were strolling around enjoying the mild weather waiting at a light to cross the street I look up and see That's Our Bag. Well, I just about had a heart attack and narrowly missed getting smoked by a cab as I yelped and ran across the street leaving the poor DH in the dust. Hee-hee. I was on

I got to look at some of the Fall bags I've been eyeing, like the Frog one and Miss Whoever You Are. It was fun!! I didn't buy anything, though ;( The prices weren't that great and I have a BE coming my way...Soooo.....

I just wanted to share my experience with some folks who would appreciate it!!!

I still would only buy my bags from musthavebag anyway!!!!

Haha, I went inside that store too when I was in Chicago last year. It's the one along Michigan, right? I just wanted to see lots and lots of Tano bags side by side, in person. It was heavenly.

BTW, they don't put all their Tano bags on display. I had to ask them if those were all their Tano bags and the salesperson brought out some more when I asked.

I love that "hands-on" experience, but the boutique where I purchased my French Nanny only had about 4 Tano bags out there, so my next one will definitely be from musthavebag. Since our Sub-Forum is up and running, there is enough information for me to feel comfortable to actually order a bag online, which will be a first for me.

Lucky you!! I wish I had a store nearby where I could look at Tano bags in person, heck just any bags in general! I live out in the country and there is nothing...I mean nothing around here. I have to wait until we go on vacation every year to go bag shopping in person.

Wow! I had no idea they had an actual store! I'm lame.

Really?!! Were they different than the prices on the site? I think their prices are pretty good, that's surprising. My sister lives in Chicago, next time I visit I am definitely stopping by to check it out!!!

CandyJanney · May 12th, 2008, 11:44 AM

Wow the ACTUAL store?! that's so cool! I've only ever ordered Tanos from them and they've always been so wonderful on the phone!

TygerKitty · May 12th, 2008, 01:10 PM

Very cool! My family and I might be going to Chicago when I'm home in a few weeks (Wisconsin) so I might have to look that store up and head over there just to see more of them in person. I likely won't buy anything as I've just ordered one and will probably put another bag on pre-order today!

posk51 · May 12th, 2008, 01:55 PM

Yes, the actual store!! It was a stupendous hands on experience of me prancing around with bags on my shoulder. We live an hour outside the City and don't have many stores around here that I can actually touch and feel all these bags I drool for.

Yes, it's on Michigan....I can't remember who asked me that...I wish I could remember the cross street, it's on the corner....I suppose you could just look it up!

Sigh...anyway, Thanks you guys for humoring me!!!

aznanjl · May 13th, 2008, 02:37 AM

duh! i think i passed by the store when i went to Chicago last year...i was walking down Michigan when i saw a lot of handbags in the window, but i didn't go in because i didn't want to spend money. that must have been the store!

funny now, cause i just ordered my Buxom Buddy from them. their service was friendly IME.

Ilovepurse007 · May 13th, 2008, 11:23 AM

I think there were 2 that's our bag stores on the Michigan ave? I bought my luggages and HOBO tote there before, but they did charge higher prices for bags. Oh~I want to go back to Chicago!

aznkat25 · May 13th, 2008, 12:01 PM

yay I'll be in chicago next weekend! I hope I get to stop into one of the stores to see which style I like best. :)

knasarae · May 14th, 2008, 12:09 PM

Wow, I feel like an idiot.

All this time I've been wondering why someone would choose to call their website "That Sour Bag". lmao!!!

kings_20 · May 14th, 2008, 01:36 PM

I thought the same thing at first when I saw the website address LOL. I'm sure we weren't the only ones :)
