I'm pretty sure that if they use Python, it has to be disclosed on the creed since selling new products with Python is illegal in Califonia because it's classified as an endangered species (although a lot of Floridians might disagree!) but non-python snakeskin products are allowed.

Too bad there isn't a practical way to allow the use of Burmese Python skins as long as it could be proved or certified that they were taken in Florida.
Interesting, thank you! When did this happen?

If you mean the California ban on Python products, the law took effect in 1970.
https://www.animallaw.info/statute/...-2-other-and-miscellaneous-offenses-653o-653r

§ 653o. Illegal importation of dead body or parts or products thereof of specified species

...(a) It is unlawful to import into this state for commercial purposes, to possess with intent to sell, or to sell within the state, the dead body, or any part or product thereof, of a polar bear, leopard, ocelot, tiger, cheetah, jaguar, sable antelope, wolf (Canis lupus), zebra, whale, cobra, python, sea turtle, colobus monkey, kangaroo, vicuna, sea otter, free-roaming feral horse, dolphin or porpoise (Delphinidae), Spanish lynx, or elephant..."
 
My metallic graphite Rogue bought during the last online outlet sale with the 15% coupon. This is my first 3rd generation Rogue and I have to say the quality is much lower than the 2016-2017 Rogues. Leather is thinner, suede is lower quality and thinner.

But at the online outlet price it was worth the money. The clean lines of the Rogue in combination with the metallic leather really make for a nice look. I would NEVER have paid $795 for this bag though. This is my last 3rd generation Rogue. I intend to hunt down the older, nicer ones from now on. I am keeping the bag though because I like it for the price I paid and I really like the combination of tailored design and metallic patina.

Huh! I wonder then how this was bypassed, as these came out much later-
 
My Cypress Bedford came today. Love it and so glad I got in on the sale with the extra 15%.

Q: I've always stalked the black Tea Rose bag charms. If anyone spots any, PLEASE let me know?! I'm still dying to have one. Mainly the single willow, but also love the assorted TRs in blacks; also the black leather roses. TIA!!!

I couldn't agree with you more, since I also have a much of the earlier ones. Though, I must say that I *MAY* prefer the weight (-loss? haha), since although these bags were gorgeous in quality, they are reeeeally heavy to be schlepping around, IMO. I can't wait to unpack mine- the box just came!!! (Veeeery late!!! It killed my day, but worth my not worrying about it getting lost/stolen!)

The law only refers to items sold in California, so Coach stores in Cali wouldn't have been able to sell them, and that includes the bags discussed earlier. And when retailers there tried to sell banned items anyway, the state usually cracked down on them pretty quickly. Obviously someone from Cali can buy a bag that uses python just by going to a different state, but Coach stores can't have them in inventory. I don't know how Coach handles online or FOS orders but I'm sure there's a way the order would be blocked if the shipping address was in California.

ETA - It's not mentioned on the individual item page but the Customer Care page on the main site says "Exceptions Python cannot be shipped to California"

Huh!!! Thx for this info. Really interesting-
 
Sale open. Same reserve with lower discounts. They have some zodiac sign things that are cute depending on your zodiac sign--I don't like them all. They have some new "star" merchandise. I am guessing to get ready for Star Wars next week, lol.
Yes lower discount because of the ticktock 20% off. I was able to order 2 crossbody bags that I got from the outlet last week and save $40 once I return the original ones. That's something :)

Yeah, makes sense.

But let's get real. These same silly reserve bags have been there forever. I know we have said this before, but it is time to knock down the price completely, such as 70% plus an additional discount and get rid of them. It is crazy they want to just hang on to them, even though they have been through so many sales and it is clear they are not selling out without a higher discount. That is how they got there in the first place.
 
Yeah, makes sense.

Actually, this time, they raised the prices, so if you use the ticktock code, it goes down to the prices they had last time...until 2:00, then it's back to considerably higher prices. Is there some sensible strategy here, because I don't understand it.

Nope, no sensible strategy. They want to just hang on to the same bags forever, I guess. I guess they haven't learned that the more exposure a bag gets, the less interested people get over time (unless you make it super cheap--and don't raise the prices).

Yep. The bags I bought at outlet and just purchased again for the discount are actually mff men's camera bags lol. One for me for travel and one for a gift.
I haven't purchased a delete in a while. Just nothing I'm interested in at the moment and I'm totally "rogued " out right now.
