This is a sad story that turned out to have a good ending. More than a week ago, I found a Celine Boogie on sale on Bloomingdales.com for 50% off. I have been looking at this bag for a while and decided to go for it since it was a good deal. This is my first Celine Boogie so I was super excited and check my email daily for its shipment status. When it finally arrived on Wednesday, I opened the box and felt someone had punched me in the stomach. In the box was a Juicy Couture bag that looked nothing like the Boogie that I had ordered except for the same black color. It was wrapped in clear plastic. I didn't even have to open the plastic as there is a big JC logo in the front of the bag. The whole evening I can feel the bitter dissapointment in my mouth. (yes, I know it's only a bag, but can't really help it... ) This is not the first time Bloomingdales.come messed up my order. But at least last time, they sent me the same brand I had ordered, just different model. This is definitely the last time I order anything from Bloomingdales.com.
So today I finally have some time to drive down to South Coast to return the bag at Bloomingdales. (I had heard too many horror stories about return via mail to Bloomingdales.com to risk having more headache over this purchase) After returning the bag, I decided to take a stroll at the handbag department. At one of the sales table, I found a beautiful purple patent Ferragamo bag from their origami series that I had lusted after forever. It was marked down from $1850 to $1387 (25% off) already and now gets another 40% off. The bag is super light weight and soft even though it was patent leather. The color is a beautiful deep purple. I just couldn't put it down. After 10 min of looking in the mirror and debating with myself, I went for it. The SA suggested I apply for the store credit card to get additional 15 % off which I did and got the bag for around $700.
The best part of the purchase actually came when I got home and checked on line and found the bag still selling for $1850 on Neimanmarcus.com.

So after a bad start, this bag purchase experience had come to a very happy ending. As I can't share this kind of excitement with my husband (he will never understand), thanks for letting me share it here with my fellow bag lovers who would certainly understand.
