Nice sneaky pics! I was just there this past Saturday...whenever I go up North to visit anyone, I ALWAYS make a trip out to SF. Too bad they didn't have any men's goods there...
Yeah, it looks like it could be '06 Caramel. Please let it be...
The only reason why I'm stumped is b/c when I was there a few weeks ago, I asked if they had anymore colors in the back. Now I know that most NM SA's aren't the brightest when it comes to Bbag colors/stock info, so when the SA said "no, thats all we've got," I'm still disinclined to believe them.
Besides the tassels being split, the bag was in new condition, not even broken in.
For all our sakes, I hope it isn't Marigold.
Neiman Marcus normally rotates their bags around through their stores. So if one store have certain colors available they might send it to another store to maximize their sell through.
I got a brand new 2005 weekender from neimans in amazing condition (no wear, nothing!) so I believe that the camel is brand new (but I've noticed that the Camel's tassels seem to split quicker than my other bags)
. The mystery bag looks more similar to the second pic ICB just posted, not so much the first.
For now, let's just confirm that it isn't Marigold. Thank goodness!
The 2nd pic is the more accurate color (the 1st photo was with a flash)....I've seen the photos/swatches for marigold definitely yellow.
Peggy, who is an SA at the NM, really knows her bbags and she called me yesterday to tell me about their new stock: the blue first is definitely Ocean
The tanish/orangish is almost certainly 06 camel: it was there last time I was, about 10 days ago, IIRC.
No one has the Main Fall Collection colors yet (pine, violine, jaune).
And we seem to be missing several Pre-Fall colors too!!
