I inquired about this just the other day. Thanks to all the ladies who cleared up the fiction surrounding the price of the large bag. You were right. It was indeed $1795 and not the $2600 I was quoted over the phone. Whew!
Congratulations!! I also just got this bag for Christmas. I tried it on after a massage (I wasn't greasy but I guess I had a trace of oil on my skin) and I instantly made disgusting oil stains all over it---the day I got it!!! I almost cried and had a heart attack. I figured I would need to send it in for refurbishing before even getting a chance to wear it.
Low and behold I let it sit for about a week, out of the dutbag to "dry" and it did. It looks perfect now(I just posted a group photo under silver reissue. Ever since this incident I haven't gotten the nerve to wear it out. But I am in love with the look and feel of this bag.
