Thanks Rose. While I can understand marking a bag a craftsman's bag with the shooting star, I am wondering what the purpose of marking a handbag as a sales item is. Is it to prevent people trying to return the item at full retail value?
 
I guess so. LZ for example does charge less for their S marked items. I am also not sure about the return policy of 's' marked items to the store. They may be 'final sale' with no store credit option.
 
Yup S items are marked final sale; I also discovered that at least at one store, sale items were unceremoniously dumped into a white paper bag, stapled, and sale scarves were not given with boxes.
 
Yes, I am not a fan of stapling! What I found even more horrifying was that we had to surrender our bags :wtf: before we entered the sale in exchange for one of these white bags. We were only allowed to bring our wallets and cell phones onto the sales floor.
 
DH and I were suprised by the plain white bags at the sale. :P The GPs that were on sale in SF were not stamped (I checked lol) but I wonder if they did stamp them when they were purchased? :shrugs:
