Thanks to many of you lovely ladies for sharing your beautiful photos of your Alis and your PCE advice. After taking the recommendations of many here, I marched straight into our local Coach store with numbers in hand and got a PCE discount (with no card!). *And* was able to take my gorgeous white Ali home with me (it was a customer return, but everything was perfect) :yahoo:!

You gals are fantastic!

Here are a couple. I'm still waiting for my Legacy scarf to come in (another great find through this forum :yes:).

Thanks, gals! What's so funny is I was so convinced the night before I wanted a whiskey ali. But I took a good look at my bag collection and I have no less than 9 bags in some shade of brown, khaki, chocolate, and tan...so walking into the store I convinced myself that I just wanted the scarf.

Then the SA (who was helping me with the type of leather we were talking about with the Legacys) walked out with the white and I thought "uh oh"! It goes with everything...and it's a great size for me (I need to carry my DS's meds and potty-training "incentives") and reminds me of a bag my mom's friend had when I was growing up. This mom had a bag that looked identical to this - a little retro with some punch!

What a beautiful bag! If I were allowed to own a white bag (three little kids = no white bags), that would be my first choice!

I also have a lot of brown bags--kinda can't help it--and I'm trying to break out of that just a bit. LOVE the ali--it is my overall favorite style along with the ergo hobos/totes...

Congrats! You'll enjoy that bag for years....

You know, TejasMama, I have a 3 and a 5 year old and I may kick myself later for saying this, but I think the white ali is suited for us! The leather is beautiful, but durable too, you know? I have a few Hayden Harnetts and while I love them, I am a little paranoid about sticky fingers (applegard protectant and all!). The super-soft leather seems more prone to showing stains.

I really feel like the white ali is a "baby wipe" type bag - got a mess, take a clean wipe and it will be fine! Time will tell, but I'm hopeful this will be pretty easy care.

I need a mega phone smiley!
"put your hands on your head and step away from the bag. . ." get a way from my bag . . . don't touch the bag!"
