I just received this e-mail from Styledrops re the flap on the Coffer:
we have changed the old black coffer pictures with the right ones of
the
fall/winter 07/08 season. You can check here:
http://www.styledrops.com/handbags-14731.html.
Anyway I checked also the other colors of the bag which came out in
winter 2006 and they were all with the short flap, so it seems that
just
the black one was different. I was curious so I asked our Miu Miu/Prada
supplier and she didn't know why either, but told me it may be that
that
very bag we made picture of was part of a first production of bags that
came out that way, then they have decided to make the flap shorter for
aesthetic or functional reasons. She told me that sometimes
manufacturers change this little details if they realize in another way
it's better for the production or any other reason. This can be an
explanation but don't take it for sure, maybe it was just one different
piece came out of the production, like those rare coins came out as a
result of a defect in the manufacturing.
Anyway, all the pieces we have here now have the short flap and are
from
the new collection, I saw you ordered one few days ago but it was
already sold out in brown. I'm sorry for that but we always have a
limited quantity of pieces available for most of the bags. It may be
that more will arrive in the next few weeks, usually the brown one is
very requested so they send a second stock at the beginning of fall.
Have a nice day.
Regards.
...........already SOLD OUT?????? This is just not my day!! I never received anything from Styledrops saying that the brown coffer I ordered was SOLD OUT! They sent me an e-mail saying that the supplier was "on holiday" and it might take up to 2 weeks for me to receive the bag, but that was a week ago! Anyway, I sent them an e-mail asking them to clarify what they mean by the new coffers having a "shorter strap"? Hopefully they will get back to me by tomorrow morning because I am heading out to Disneyland until Tuesday (for my B-day)!
