And back to the store it goes

[kimberf]

I got my long-awaited LE Neiman's blue bag today. It turns out that it's been sitting in DH's office for a while (I got free shipping and I think no tax somehow if I sent it to another name) and he was neglecting to bring it home. We straightened that out last night and it came home today. But, in the meantime, my enthusiasm was waning. I thought I might open the package and love it, but, nope, I barely looked at it, decided it was too heavy, I don't like the color as much as I liked everyone's pictures of the color, and I'm still not sold on GH, even in gunmetal. So, there's a trip to the mall in my weekend plans. I'm a little bummed. It seems like so much more of a letdown after waiting a while for the delivery.

I also feel a little bit bad, since I also returned the last bag I got from NM. That was from a different store and different SA though. At least with that one I didn't just change my mind -- they sent me plomb when I has asked for anthracite.

I do have to confess that I ordered a Miu Miu bag yesterday because I suspected I might not love this one. :shame:

Well, my motto is if you aren't CRAZY about a bag, then it must go back!

 

[camommyof3]

^^^ I agree. There's something else out there that will capture your heart.

sorry you didn't like your new bag, but now you can get something you love

If you're not digging it when you first see it, then it's not meant to be. The excitement has to be there at the getgo. I hope the Miu Miu bag works for you!! BTW, I my Anthracity!!! I wish I could post pics, but I am technically challenged . Thanks again for your help!!!

I sent mine back too. I miss it.... and I sort of wish I still had it, but... I was totally IN LOVE with it. You know??

 

[mrqx2]

Sorry! It's a beautiful bag, but yeah, if it's not LOVE, it's not worth it.

 

[malleysmama]

I did the exact same thing...I was talking myself into loving it and realized that she just had to go back...

 

[robotdoll]

it happens. i am a strong believer in loving the things you buy or it is going back. hope the miu miu works out for you.

 

[Deana]

Yup, deffinitely take it back and get something you are going to be crazy about! I am not going to be getting any GH bags, but just wondering is the weight of the bags that noticably different?

 

[kimberf]

Thanks all. I was feeling a little bad, but I know it's the right thing to do. I think I would have been more excited if I'd gotten it right away, but with it sitting in DH's office, I was just sort of eh by the time it arrived.

boobookitty - I'm so glad you are loving your Anthracity. I totally mine too. Someone posted yesterday (sorry - can't remember who) that she was returning hers to Saks BH, and I was actually tempted to call and get it, even though I already have one. I love it that much! (Which is really a clear sign that this NM bag should go back, since I have none of those feelings for it.)

Deana - I'll try to weigh an RH and the GH City on my kitchen scale tonight when I get home and post the weights. I'm sure it's just a couple of pounds, but empty, the GH felt heavier than my RH with my regular stuff in it.

I did also think the City looks significantly smaller with the GH, which I remember people commenting on. I actually stacked them against each other to check because I was convinced the GH bag was smaller. Nope. Optical illusion.

That often happens to me as well; I order something online and somehow manage to get bored of it before I even get it. Sometimes, I realize, I simply need to spend money for the sake of doing so, and then I regret it.

Miu Miu bags are gorgeous and have veryyyyy soft leather; I think you will be pleased with it!

Mine went back to I just didn't love the color!
