They are wrong. They have just not arrived yet. It is unfortunate that you talked to someone that does not know what they are talking about.


After I purchased the Buster tote, I called back 2 hours later and a different person tried to tell me they are sold out and not available, and that I would not get one. She said that there are not any in the warehouse. Mine shipped and it is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I let her know that she was wrong and did not know what she was talking about. She then got smart with me and said that I was the reason it showed a negative amount available. I just hung up and called back.


When I did order the buster tote earlier this week there were approximately 40 available. Two of the people that I spoke to did not even know what Baseman meant when I mentioned it. I did get one guy that was awesome and knew everything. I was able to order the bunny tote, 3 of the t-shirts, and the 3 leather key fobs. You actually have to be persistent and just try again if you are not happy with the answer. When I called one time, I was told that I could not order the leather key fobs. I hung up and called back, and placed an order for all 3.

I agree that they are available in small quantities right now if you call JAX and get a person who knows what they are talking about. I decided I did not want a leather fob because I am very happy with my Colette fob, but my SA called me to let me know I could put an order in for the fobs yesterday. I had originally had a leather bunny fob on order when I ordered my tote, but the fob order got cancelled because there were no fobs first week of January when they fulfilled the order.

Good luck to everyone trying to get one. :smile1:I am sitting this round out lol. :D:p

Yeah maybe I will do the same. Glad some people are having success but I am finding this more than a little frustrating. :(

Thank you so much for posting this! I was finally able to get ahold of someone who knew what they were talking about and placed my order.

You are so welcome. I am really happy for you. I got so frustrated with some of the people that I talked to. I think they are lazy and don't care so if they see it is not available, they will not go above and beyond to find out the correct facts. It is easy to just say it is not available or sold out. I confronted them and said they were wrong when they said it was sold out. I told them it was not possible based on the fact that it had not even released. One person tried to change her story and tell me that she did not say it was sold out, when that was the first thing out of her mouth. I finally got her to admit she made a mistake. I think it is worth it to be persistent and if I would have continued to get the same answer. then I am okay with it. I sure hope I like this collection or I have 12 items going to back to the store, which they will be delighted as none of the stores in my state are getting any of the pieces, even though one is considered a flagship.

I really love all of these little creatures!! So much, that I made sure I stopped by a Coach store today. I started by asking about the sizes of the different folios because that is what I'm interested in and they said they had one of everything in the back and would bring out whatever I wanted to see. They told me I could not buy anything now but they would set up the pre-order which was fine with me. I decided on the XL folio because Buster is just too cute and ordered that. The SA said that they are expecting everything to sell very quickly. I don't know what she's basing that off of? Maybe they have been getting a lot of inquiries about the collection.

Interesting enough, even though stores got inventory they are not allowed to sell until Feb. 1. I agree they may be basing it on inquiries or the Snoopy sell out. Either way, I decided to wait and take Emmanuel tote home next week.

My Emmanuel Hare folio arrived finally, after being delayed due to the blizzard. I have to say...this thing is huge! I ordered it without knowing the dimensions and I do wish it was smaller, but I'm going to keep it since I desperately wanted something from this collection and I can't purchase a tote (saving up for Hermes, two years in the making but almost there!, but ugh so many temptations, why you do this to me Coach, why...). I wished there had been more photos of this available when I ordered it, so I figured I'd post some in case anyone was thinking of purchasing. Inside it says limited to 305 and mine is number 242. They also include this really cute, tiny booklet on Gary Basemen and the collaboration. I would say the color is pretty true to the first picture, but it's a very light pink, almost beige.

The leather feels really nice and the inside is super pretty, plus gotta love the fact they put in a divider. It feels really well made, so for the most part I'm really pleased with my purchase. I was also curious to see just how much I could stuff in there and I fit everything I carry on a daily basis inside. Granted it made the folio bulge a bit, but this thing would make Mary Poppins proud! I managed to fit inside of it and close: my wallet, my planner, my iPhone 6, two containers of Advil, four lipsticks, two lip glosses, a lip balm, my car keys, my store keys, my house keys with various key chains, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Here's an image just with my planner and wallet to give a better idea of size for people who are more visual, like me.
