Thank you all for your good wishes and I hope to keep improving daily. Today was my first day out driving again so where did I go but my local
Coach store. I did order the Courier cross body in chalk with the snake trim on the sides. F
rankly, I don't care for exotic leathers and I don't care for snake so we will see if this impacts my opinion of the bag. I was very honest with my SA and said this may be a return because with tax it is just barely under $1000 which means I expect very high quality and something I really like.
According to the information told to the SA's I know only 4 stores have this stock. Apparently the stock is selling quite well. As of yesterday SA's in stores without stock couldn't order from Jacksonville (I suppose) so mine tried and they let the order go through late today. As of tomorrow the SA's without stock in the stores can order for their clients. Sounds to me these are very limited items.
Please remember I don't know if all of this is factual so let's just say these are the rumors I was told. When mine arrives I will post a picture.
