Yesterday my fiance took me down to NYC for the specific purpose of taking me to the Legacy Boutique on Bleecker St. I was sooooooo excited, I've been waiting a long time to go there!
Sadly I didnt take any pictures, as I didnt feel it was appropriate, but I'll try to recap how much fun it was!
My fiance called its location "a hole in the wall", but I really liked it because it was like a hidden gem! We went inside and were immeadiatly warmly greeted by all SA's. They asked if I had been in before and when I told them no, they took me around on a mini tour to show me some of the limited edition pieces, then let me browse on my own. I really liked how knowledgeable the SA's were, they really seemed passionate about the brand, and gave me lots of one-on-one attention. They also commented on my purse (65th anniv. tote) and a few of them even said something along the lines of, "We can tell you are a die-hard Coach fan!" haha Soooo true! They also offered us Fiji waters.
I browsed through the store a few times, then an SA showed me a few hidden treasures... there were drawers and drawers full of keyrings, charms, scarves, etc. How freakin' FUN! haha
I spent a good hour in the store, even though its really small. I was really hoping to take home a numbered piece, but sadly there was nothing that caught my eye. I practiced good self-control! I wanted to leave with something, so I bought some lipgloss b/c my boutique back home doesnt have it yet. The SA helped me try on all the colors before deciding which to get. Loved the one-on-one attention!
I'm trying to think of all the limited edition pices they had. They had the ostrich and alligator pieces, and much of the stuff that has been on the Legacy Boutique page on Coach.com. They also had a few leather colors that were exclusive to them, green, pinks, yellowy-shades. There were a few things that they told me were Legacy Boutique exclusives that I swear I have seen at my boutique at home, but oh well thats ok! When we left, the SA gave us complimentary free coupons for a cupcake at Magnloia's bakery down the strret. Although when we got to Magnolia's, the line was waiting to get in the store was down the street! We didnt end up waiting, but it was a nice touch.
Afterwards, we went to a few other Coach boutiques in the city, including my all time favorite on Madison Ave. They had the ostrich Lily XL!!!!! Soooooo gorgeous! My fiance told me to pick out a bag, and I tried to keep it on the less expensive side, and I really need a black bag so I chose a medium Carly. (all this time, I never liked Carly, and I've finally fallen for her!) Although I may go to my local boutique today and switch her for something else....
Ok, this is incredibly long so I'll end here. All in all, it was an awesome Coach day, I'm so lucky that my fiance was ok with going to Coach stores all day! Legacy boutique was a great experience, and I'll def. go back in a few months once I hear word that they have new numbered pieces. OMG, I can't believe I typed this much. I truly am a a die-hard Coach freak!
