well, it's a very long story, my first dog i purchased in the boutique on sale, then i stupidly lost it, but by then the unsold sales stock was moved out and they were shipped to the outlets.
I had contacts of a couple of US outlets SAs, but even though they had them, i could not purchase because i am outside of US. Bummer. But, at the same time i was maniacally checking all re-selling sites and to my endless joy TRR got one! i placed an order and it cost me total 120+/- USD delivered.
Panda is my lucky ebay find, i made an offer, which the Seller accepted, and it cost me under 100$ delivered (i paid in Euro).
If you are in US, call outlets (Cabazon had the dogs charms for sure) and they can take orders online, you might still find it ;)

Ooh thank you very much for the tip! That certainly sounds very cost-friendly-- at least compared to the retail price! I didn't know I could call outlets and ask for that.

I find burgundy type colours so easy to match with black too! Beautiful bag - enjoy!

Thank you-- and yes indeed! I've fallen in love with burgundy type colors! Shades of darker red seem to work beautifully with my wardrobe. I originally wore a lot of camel bags and brown shades, but I'm finding that camel looks better with white (though of course, also good with black) and burgundy with black!

but be prepared for some odd reaction fro SAs :lol:
apart from me quite a few of other BV fans decided to get the dog charm and called the outlets within a short period of time, which puzzled the SAs heavily! :lol:

This is my new-to-me Chanel Tri-Color CF in M/L from the Paris-Edinburgh collection! Colors aren't very accurate in my photos due to bad lighting, it's a bit lighter (burgundy, dark grey...) Not everyone's cuppa tea but I find it very easy to match on my clothes and looks lovely with my all-black outfits. Very easy to wear compared to my plain grey CF, I feel!

Oh my gosh I didn't know they had leather versions of the dogs! I'm dead! I want one so badly now. Where did you get them on discount?
And thanks for the tip, I agree the metal would be quite heavy, I hadn't thought of that.

NY outlet (Woodbury Common) had them a couple weeks ago, that's where I got mine. They'll ship if you have a credit card that matches your shipping address.

Thanks for the tip! I'm not far from Woodbury so that's really helpful!​

I had a "near miss" at the Bottega Veneta boutique today, but I am proud to say that I did NOT come home with (yet another) red bag! I sure was tempted, though.
1. It was on sale.
2. It was red.
3. It was really cute.
4. It was red.
5. It had a long enough strap to be carried cross body.
6. Did I mention... red? :biggrin:

But then I took myself firmly in hand. I already have two red bags. This one would fill the same niche of one of them (my LV Capucines BB... the one in my avatar). Also, this bag was too small to comfortably hold my sunglasses. I've just recently switched from transition glasses (the ones that get dark in sunlight) to using two pairs of glasses, clear ones & sunnies. So this means I need a bit of extra space in my daytime handbags.

You know, now that I think about it, the SM told me that the bag was on sale, but I never got around to asking the price! :lol:

Good for you! Hard to resist! I have the same issue with glasses/sunglasses, can not use super small bags for a day out if it is sunny!
