I do have two Buroughs but no black and we're talking $150 vs $600! LOL I ended up going for it. It was actually $358, 50% off ($179) plus 20% off ($143) so with tax it was like $152. DD and I are shorts shopping for her tomorrow, so I figured I could at least look it over better at home and make a decision. It's a beautiful bag and different enough from the Burough bags I have that I'm not concerned about repetition at all. I just have to decide if I need it and if it was a good price considering they hadn't been on my radar in awhile.
 
Here's the large Cognac. I like the large Chelsea better but I like big bags. I took the tassel off because it looked a little sloppy but then I realized I like it without the tassel so I'm going to carry it like this to work next week. I would love to find the large in black.
I have a cognac Legacy bag and am thinking of returning it. I can't get used to the color; it's too reddish for me. I prefer a darker brown or a lighter shade.

Good for you. Hopefully you'll like her when you get home. You can't beat the price for a good black bag!

A great black bag is a must, especially at that price! Legacy leather is awesome too! We are bag collectors afterall!
 
Sigh. Not meant to be. Took it out of the bag and there's a cut into one the handles. Actually both looks rough, maybe from the security wires in the past, but one definitely has this gauge, so back it will go. Even a good deal is too much to pay if the quality is suffering from the start.
 
Its okay. That stinks but I know your next beauty is on a shelf somewhere just waiting to be bargain hunted and carried home to enjoy. Don't you hate it when you have to go shopping all over again? ;) The one that's meant to be awaits! Good luck!

Bummer! It is a really pretty bag.

Oh I am sorry!!! Total bummer!!! I agree that it is not worth such a great deal if there are imperfections you can't life with.

Considering I continue to think about the Madison hobo, and even the Bleecker daily bag, I'm thinking it was indeed meant to go this way. Btw, I cut the tags on my silt and have been loving it.
