wow thanks bridget! I always have such a hard time remembering exactly what I see at stores. What style was the olive?? I can't believe it was returned! Or maybe it was forgotten in a stock room?
 
I was so excited when I saw that they had an 05 Olive City in stock! I tried to call, and the SA said that they did have a bag that was "Olive colored" but that it was brand new, not a 2005 :crybaby:Oh, well...

it might be worth checking to see if they can find the one that Bridget saw with the Z on the tag. It could be new, as in they just brought it out from somewhere?? :girlsigh:
 
Wow! Bridget, that is an impressive list. It's so nice of you to make such detailed notes and take the time to post it all here. Thank you so much! It's going to be fun to hear how quickly they're all snapped up.

I agree! I bought my anthracity from this Saks over the phone, and it was definitely some back and forth asking the SA to check tags, etc. to make sure it was anthra and not plomb. I was working with Al, who wasn't super-familiar with the color names and such, but was willing to check tags and everything to help.

Very welcome! Nanaz posted that they had the BG pink, Pale Magenta and Vert Thyme, so I wanted to see those in person, Bal is so hard to photograph, I like to see the colours IRL as well as pictures, even if it's not necessarily a colour I would carry myself!

I take notes in a small memo book and they let me because they know they get sales from it : )

I wish you well,

Bridget
