Great! I'm glad your getting the extra 5%. Any ideas on what you'll purchase. I really wish the Rogue 25s were included.

I may get a denim patchwork Mercer, or a new color Nomad if the prefall 2016 bags are not included; if they are maybe a Rogue 36 in python! Will have to call the other store to double-check on the exclusions. Am a bit sad if the new Dinky's will not be discounted either. The chalk was was really pretty in pictures!
 
Sooo I got the Oxblood and Mineral whiplash bags from the Saks sale.
I was disappointed in how the Oxblood was packaged, mostly because the front flap was bent backwards and has caused a pretty big crease :( So that one is definitely going back. I also wish it had more red in it - is definitely more brown than I had expected.

The mineral was packaged nicely in an outer box and inner Saks gift box and nice tissue. It was not factory wrapped but was in better shape than the Oxblood. The mineral is absolutely stunning because the color is just amazing! I am kind of torn on whether or not to keep or send it back which leads me to believe I should send it back. I really want to get a Chanel WOC (used!) and could put these funds toward that...for $500+, I need it to be true love!

I'm glad I checked them out and can see why so many people love these bags. If I were to keep either, I would keep the fringe on...it's not as overwhelming as I expected it to be :)

I ordered mineral without seeing it in person, so it's good to hear that the color is amazing. I do agree the oxblood is definitely more brown, and while I would have preferred it to look more burgundy I know I will use it often in the fall/winter. I also agree with you on the fringe...I love the fringe now.

Sorry yours didn't come factory wrapped the way mine did. To me, it makes a big difference as I'd ordered the oxblood one from JAX during PCE and they had a Coach store from San Antonio, TX ship it, and it was in the box and wasn't even placed inside the dust bag, and the bag wasn't stuffed. It was an obvious floor model or display, so I returned it immediately.

My chalk whiplash saddle bag wasn't love at first sight until after I carried it. That's when I realized I wanted more colors. Before that, the light color scared me, and I wasn't sure how I felt about the fringe.

Please let us know what you decide.
 
Sorry to be off topic, but I've been browsing the threads and couldn't find one for this clutch/wristlet.. does it fit an iPhone 6 Plus?


I have the iPhone 6 with a Kate Spade case and there is probably about a half inch of wiggle room lengthwise and half an inch height wise. I'm not sure how much bigger the 6 plus is though so I couldn't tell you for sure. It seems that it can expand quite a bit to fit a lot of stuff, so you never know.

It's a beautiful clutch that I absolutely love. You could always try it out and return if it doesn't work for you.

Thanks for the reply! The plus is monstrous compared to the 6 so this sadly probably won't work for me.
 
I couldn't stand it anymore and got the saddle bag in flax and eggplant! I'm so super happy! But then I realized that while my Louis Vuitton wallet fits perfectly inside.. It's a little too snug and can't fit my other stuff like keys and lipstick etc without bulking up the bag and ruining the look. So now I'm looking for a smaller matching wallet or purse that'll fit in the saddle bag without bulking it up too much.

I have the clutch, and an iPhone 6 plus - without a case on your phone, it easily fits. I have a slim case on mine - it's a tight squeeze with the case. If you prefer a case on your phone, I think the leather would soften pretty quickly, making it easier to get in and out.
