Here is a happy (for me at last!) Woodbury update. I called last night and a wonderful SA went and checked exactly what full price items they had.
I asked her to hold a large duffle from the 2nd edition, and my outlet did a charge send.
As of last night, they still had the large saddle surrey 2nd edition, and several of the small blue and yellow duffles and surreys.
They were 50% off, no extra discount-unless you have a coupon I suppose. I did ask them to check in the system for me, but there wasn't one. But that is ok, a Snoopy duffle for half of is awesome!

Yeesh! I'm glad I went when I did. I guess they want to profit from that weekend tourist traffic, at least in areas not getting a blizzard. Or maybe that's it: so many people cannot possibly shop so they need to make it up somewhere.
Oooh I'd love to see that sign. It wasn't at the outlet here. White Snoopy was cuter, but I wonder if they felt they'd have issues with the paint coming off the coated canvas? er, "calf leather"
well, at least they are consistent about NOT saying it's calf leather
sheesh
LOL! Very true.
I'm tempted to do that with mine but am holding off for the inevitable return/rebuy when it gets close to $100 (I really think it will). I also wonder how well it would look on that material. The image is a mockup: a printed artwork Snoopy placed on a bag, not a legit bag. If it were real, wouldn't we all be seeing the grains/lines in the canvas? He's awfully smooth.
My outlet was similar. We all agreed the pre-release info was calf leather (I'd been shown the info since I specifically asked before it ever came out), but what showed up was absolutely not. The manager said it looked like crossgrain but that crossgrain bags had leather care cards, not fabric. Then the Tools of the Trade came out saying coated canvas. I emailed Coach 3 days ago and have had NO response. That's lame.
The only consistent thing with this line is the inconsistencies.
I've already been thinking about that. About ways to smooth the surface of Snoopy out. I'm quite the MacGyver when it comes to stuff like that. I don't know where I get it from, but I have 'invented' all sorts of stuff because of stupid school projects.
I'm surprised that I seemed to be the only one who got the tiered discount on Weds?
Good idea! What do you intend to use to paint it?

Same. Art classes will definitely develop *that* habit, lol! I was thinking maybe apply a layer of paint, then wipe gently so it just settles in the grooves, repeat a few times until it builds up. Leather paint should flex nicely.
Genius! :worthy:
Like stardustgirl said, leather paint or a paint that is made to be used on cloth. I don't know what it's called, but it should be flexible too. That's one thing neither of my kids ever had to do for a project, paint leather or cloth.
For filling in the grooves, I was thinking about glues. Not super glue type glues, but glues that would adhere to whateverthehell that bag is made of and are flexible after they dry. But just a build up of paint would probably be better since the grooves aren't that deep. I'll research the the hell out of the subject before I decide on anything....and that's IF I even end up with a bag.
No, but I asked the girl over the phone if the price would be the same on Sunday and she said YES...who knows....
You could use leather cement. It is a lot like Alene's glue. I've used fabric paint, acrylic craft paint, acrylic artist paint, RIT dye and Leather Refinisher on leather bags. I think I would use fabric paint, sometimes called fabric puff paint. It is flexible and I think you could get a smooth finish without having to prepare the surface beforehand. You could put a coat of acrylic varnish over the top to preserve it.
