Check out ebay for them as well. I was at the outlets in Cabazon, here outside LA. They had LOTS of this bag!!
I went to the outlets originally because I saw it sold out on the website and I could never find it in stores. I had watched a couple on Ebay, but they had them at close to retail...very close. I figured...if I'm going to pay retail, I want it FROM retail.
So I called the outlets. I was geeked that they had it (they didn't tell me how many they had), so I had 'em hold it.
Woooooooooooooooowww...when I got there, the place was packed. I did my around the store shopping, knowing that they were holding my bag behind the counter. That's when I saw the display. Folks were pickin' 'em up left and right. An attendant was right there, continually going to the back to replenish them. I picked up two, compared the colors...and kept the more richly colored one. I love love love love the hue of the leather on this bag.
Then I saw the tote...the one that was orginally $548. Got that too!! I'm almost kinda mad that I wasn't there, prepared with cash, to buy more, 'cause I'da loaded up on stuff. And not stuff to sell either. Stuff for ME (and mom).
Anyway, I saw so many people in there, grabbing multiples of the same stuff. I just know they were there to buy, then sell.
Came home, checked ebay: many many vintage ergos for sale. Lots of other stuff I saw at outlet too! I grabbed another from ebay since the price that one seller had it for was LESS THAN OUTLET SALE PRICE.
I couldn't resist. This one, I'll see if my mum wants. If she doesn't, then of course it'll be up for sale. If ya don't have one by then, I'll let ya know.
Bad thing about the outlet stop??
I want, I'm craving to go back. I'm drooling at what I cold get.
BUT! They didn't have the Andrea in Black and that's what I really want (I'm so set in my ways and styles that I like) to trade off with my cognac one. If I find that, I'm too through!! for the moment.
