I wanted it too....I really really did. Drove all the way to the store (over an hour) with hubby and 2 kids in tow, fought for parking, waited forever for a SA, and finally got to try it on. And, I too was completely disappointed because they promote it as a shoulder bag, and it doesn't sit well on the shoulder unless you are 98lbs and have the skinniest arms ever. I really want to replace my BH with a really smart shoulder bag. I find the BH - although very nice - just a bit too dull. I have a bunch of handbags already, so I just couldn't justify the cost even with a $200 Gift card burning a hole in my pocket and my husband urging me to get it and all ready to slam his credit card down on the counter!
I haven't seen any other Damier bag that has really turned my head until this one. The fact that it's limited too (or supposed to be) really appealed to me too. Darn, why didn't they make those straps just an inch or 2 longer?! I even considered asking if they could SO me one with slightly longer straps.
So...<sigh>, I'm Damier Griet-less too!
