I don't know what happened. I was all set to buy this bag I've had on my list forever. It has limited stock. I check every week on how much stock there is and then this collection comes along. I checked my order history a week ago and it looks like I haven't ordered a bag since Rodarte. I don't know how that could be right but I guess so. I know it's been a while.
I figured I'd just take a look. But on my way there I thought about the price of the small pink and realized I had enough cash in my pocket (including birthday money I've been carrying around for almost 6 months) to buy it. So before I walk in I figure if it doesn't look too crazy on me I'll get it because it would not take away from my other bag fund. At this point I like 2 other bags and I'm curious about the one that sold out.
Before I left my house I did a store search and about 4 stores in my area had the collection. I stopped at the one in the area I was doing errands which was not the store I usually frequent. The SA tells me they are going fast. They are out of the light colored color blocked large already so I can't even try it on. I debate the two I like. He tells me they only got 3 per style??? huh?. Oddly enough they have the original style I wanted. He suggested getting the Tabitha Collection first. Really Tabitha was much cheaper than the bag I wanted. I could get the two I wanted for just a little bit more than the original bag I wanted so I started to consider that option. I thought I should think on it a day. A blooms was nearby so I decided to try that store and come back. Well that store didn't have the collection so I didn't go back to that
Coach store. Oh but I did see a collection from another designer that I liked (it never ends ). Anyway, another Bloomies had the collection so off I went.
They had everything. I tried the light colored big floral bag. I liked it but I could not see why it was so popular. That was really what I was trying to figure out. I didn't like that it was light on the back of the bag. It was a nice bag. I just couldn't figure out why it should out first. I did like the glitter flecks on the white and the pink color on the black which was different from the other bag. (Once I came home I did start thinking of other reasons of what made it nice so . . . .)
Anyway, the SAs told me Bloomies had the exclusive and was surprised the stores had it. They had they were not supposed to have it until September. I'm not sure they realized I was talking about Coach stores. But that makes me think may this collection isn't as limited as it looks. They also told me I could do a pre-order for points and gift card event they are having next week. I left but came back and did it as they had calculated I would get $100 car for one bag. I ended up getting 2. I paid but they said they would charge my card next week and I could pick up the bags then. I was surprised because I did a preorder on a perfume in June I think and took home the product. but then I remembered the event started the next day.
So I bought 3 bags. One I have. I don't know about pics right now. My large wallet almost fit. If it had been just a little bit bigger. I have to look around for a smaller wallet. Which I have plenty. Busy day today. Have to get ready for a short trip tomorrow and I'm exhausted from shopping. My bag obsession is back I guess. It never left but was just dormant.
