I just bought a large blue patent Downtown from Ruelala! What's the concensus?

saira1214 · Jul 2nd, 2008, 11:43 AM

Just wondering what the concensus is about the blue patent downtown? I really wanted a downtown last year, but my bal and chanel obsession took over and I forgot. I saw the Rue la la boutique and insanity overwhelmed me and I bought one! Is this a sought after bag? Anyone have it? Thought? Any help would be appreciated! TIA

I bought my downtown for $975. The prices seemed to be pretty decent. Price is subjective though. There were a bunch of patent downtowns and a couple of muses. I wasn't aware of the mail clutches until now (most chanel and bal obsessed) but the seemed to have a bunch of those. I the whole site sold out within 15 min.

I had it scheduled to go on right at 8am, and buy the YSL Y-Mail Clutch in Black. Obviously not as cheap as some sample sales go with various brands, but for the Y-Mail clutch even the 100 off was great.

I ALMOST bought the Rive Gauche Ivory--so tempted; but, couldn't justify that much while saving for a new car :), even if it was marked down to 1300.

I didn't get anything. I couldnt do the ivory majorelle, even at 975. I like it, but don't LOVE it.

Glad some of you got some great stuff!

I was on at 8am as well and was sure that the black croc rive gauche would be 50% off and ready to buy as recently it could be found around $1100, but was surprised it was at $1300 and didn't pull the trigger... almost got the blue downtown too! But I had in my head I would only do it if it was massively on sale as already have black deerskin on the way. Oh well, they are all gorgeous bags! Marjorelles not enough of a discount, Tributes mystified me though as basic colors still more discounted at boutiques and outlets, but at least not like gilt.com where sales are final so there is comfort in buying from there.
Did anyone get the oversize black patent muse?? That was the deal of sale imo because you can't find that anywhere that I'm aware of.

It is a beautiful bag, but I ended up returning it. The blue wasn't electric enough...
