Anyone received the Feather Charm?

So that's where the metal one is going as a 'freebie', but where is the leather one going? That's the one Coach kept hollering was the 'freebie and you can't have one'.

I was thinking about that this morning, and yeah, my guess was the metal one for Asia too. Why? Because it finally dawned on me that the metal one we never saw in the American advertisements. The leather feather and that odd "fringe" fob w/ studs, were all over the bags in the American ads, but the all metal fob was nowhere to be found. It finally dawned on me that that was probably the clue for "Asia only".

As for the leather feathers, didn't someone say there were 120 of them sitting at a store in NYC? (might have been dazlinpearl?)

Wow, I just read through the last few days on this thread. What a mess!

I can certainly understand everyone's frustration!

I understand how mistakes happen, but they definitely need to be apologetic about the mix-up!

On a side note, I emailed CS asking if the colored hang tags that are in the Fall Ad Campaign would be available for sale and was told they were for "advertising purposes only". Made me laugh.

Remember back when the Borough was first released and shown with a long shoulder strap and then arrived with a much shorter strap? Coach is LEGENDARY for mis-steps like this!

I'm high on cold medicine at the moment, so I'll use that as my excuse for stupidity .... but what colored hang tags are we talking about? You mean how some of the bags have a couple tags on them matching the leather (ie. in the traditional style Coach has used for years)? Are you saying they *don't* come with the new bags?

Could be, I really didn't think about it, just kinda assumed she was talking about the metal ones since it was long determined that the leather feather ones were for giveaways.....and a lot of us were still hoping that the metal ones could be bought.

I have to agree with other posters, Coach hasn't just shot themselves in the foot, but in BOTH feet.

I was wondering if she was talking about the hang tag universal cases that were in the 'fall line' photos, but NOT on the website.

Are these now the items in the next Coach debacle? The feather charms and the hang tag wristlets were the two most wanted and anticipated items from the fall lineup and guess what? We are told we 'can't have' one item and the other wasn't on the website and may be the next item we're told we 'can't have'.

Get over yourself Coach, because I have.

I am referring to the ones on the Rhyders in the fall ad:

The hangtag wristlet can absolutely be ordered (mine is on its way) and my SA's said its part of a second wave of release. 52507 if you want to call and order, its pebbled leather and comes in all the bright colors to match the Rhyder.

Per an SA at the San Fran Store yesterday, they do a lot of sample and prototype, in the case of those hangtags, they decided not to go with multi-colored and left the hang tags matching the bags. That's why they appear different in the photo.

PS - she also found an item number for the mysterious purple bag in the photo. Its a metallic leather Rhyder 32, but who knows if it will ever happen?
 
The worst thing in all of this, in my opinion, is the way Coach presented this leather feather charm. They plastered it on so many bags and all over the place...and then made into a mission impossible to actually get one. How crazy is that? I guess that even with all the changes going on, one thing stays the same, Coach is still crazy :)

Crazy is part of the brand! :roflmfao:

What was the style # for the 32?:smile1:

I would have purchased different color tags...too bad they didn't make those available!
