Thanks for the headsup on the sale photomj.
Actually I did call NM Tampa and got a very nice SA named Josh. He told me the bag sold out but then he gave me 2 other NM locations that had the 8 Knots Tote and I promptly called the other locations and was able to secure an apparently "perfect" 8 knots tote (according to the SA).
So not all NM SA's are terrible...
Ann, did you get the 8 knot bag too? That would be perfect for mommy's bag... I almost get one too...
