Stop w the Pallenberg talk! I'm so tempted by the GP one a Hottie has for sale...

pallenberg...pallenberg...

Actually - speaking of saffron - I have yet to use my saffron cannes tote...I keep getting it out and thinking about it but man that is a mother of a bag. I remember that you said it could carry a toddler. What do you actually use yours for?

Made me laugh!!:laugh:

I got a Chalk Pallenberg a long time ago for a great price. It is sooo soft.(like a baby's butt!!:p) Can't decide if I want to use it as is; afraid it will get so dirty, or get it dyed.

Any thoughts???
 
2 - many - I say use it up!!!! Life is too short we need to enjoy this stuff.

Jenni - you are some kind of strong if you can carry the cannes tote for picnic - hiking. I practically need a fork lift to get it up on my shoulder when it's empty!

If the rain stops I'll carry it to work next week.
 
Well, I wasn't actually hiking w it :p

Hard typing w one left hand finger lol. Woke up smelling smoke... Trying to get the news. I70 is still closed east of town (since 6:30 last night). Poor Wrigley is freaked at the smoke andv s on my neck :p Ada is in the basement
 
^Jenni, I hope you are safe. :( I worry.

So, I went back through most of my HH purchases over the years, and I could not help but notice how much LESS (significantly less) I have purchased from them since that A/W debacle that started it all with the grape shine forward items... I remember waiting MONTHS and MONTHS (hell, almost a year) for some items. Looking back on it now, I cannot believe I ever waited that long for those things. I was hopeful to see a major turnaround, but I can't help but wonder what the HHell is going on again at HH?! I love the products so much, and I certainly do not want to see HH crash and burn for good, but I am truly puzzled with this whole gift card fiasco. I too read the details on the site, and there is nothing about not being able to use them like cash? As long as the giftcards that Hokka is trying to use are straight up giftcards, not groupons, not promo buy $ get $ cards from HH, I am speechless. In fact, Hokka (if you are reading this and your GC's are indeed pure GC's), I might even think about legal action.

The only items I have really purchased from HH as of late (minus my new pilots/pomps), have been oldies (but OMG goodies) from HHotties. It makes me sad to see everything going south again when I peek into my closet that is almost ENTIRELY HH. :(
 
I am pretty tempted by the Hitchcock dress on the bay but it is small. Anyone know how it fits? I tend to be a small/medium in modern sizes but my only HH item of clothing (Libra dress) is pretty snug and it is a medium.
 
I have the large feather print dress, which I believe is the same dress in a different print. I'd say the fit runs a little small. There's some give because it's a wrap dress, but it's designed for the less curvy (esp. up top) gal.

ETA: Busty gals can wear a camisole underneath, which is what I do, but it does make it a little fussier to throw the outfit together (I usually wear dresses because they are so easy ... nothing to coordinate).
 
Final answer from HH (which I had to go ask for, again, on the website, as no one wrote me back by Friday as promised - well, no one wrote me back, period, nor an apology for forgetting to get back to me) -- gift cards cards and store credits CANNOT be combined with promotional codes. They are, according to HH, the same as promotional codes.

so i will make one final massive purchase at some point with my "promotional" gift card and that's it.

4.5 years of purchases later, i am done with HH.

That is ridiculous! A GC or store credit (especially!) is like cash! It's not a freaking promotional code!

I just asked oana about general availability of bags, as it's impossible to tell if something is in stock or not, and she said that (and i quote) "Yes, everything is made to order ."

so i said:
how long does it take on average to receive an order after placing it?

Oana
3-4 weeks for the bag to be made and an additional 5 bsiness days for delivery

which is fine, except.. weren't people told certain things were in stock? and is this info anywhere on the product pages?

Well, at least now they're being a little more honest. I was told 2 WEEKS. It was closer to 5 weeks. And yes, I was told a bag was in stock and it was not.

i forgot! one last bit of info from HH CS. if you have multiple gift cards you cannot use more than one in a single transaction. i know other retailers do this due to website limitations or something (e.g. sephora) but HH won't combine them, nor did she offer to take the order over the phone or something instead. so i'm a bit short of a havana on any single gift card (well, the more expensive havana, that is).

:rant:

WTF. This would explain why I haven't received a response to my email I sent today asking when they were shipping my nackie, since their first and third responses to me said it was in stock and would ship this week. The main reason I believed them when they said the nackie was in stock was because I remember in that brief moment a couple months ago when it seemed like HH was looking up and people were actually receiving their bags/accessories and relatively happy about the product--for that brief period, the corralline nackie specifically was listed as "in-stock" on their website, along with a few others, while the majority of bags still had pre-order dates listed. I think this was around the time that one of the HHotties received her nackies, so I assumed they made more than one or maybe someone had cancelled an order.

If I don't get a positive response email or shipping confirmation by the middle of next week, I am asking for a refund. Ugh.

But that was before Ben and Toni left. Since then, it's all been downhill. :tdown:

I had a chalk Lorca at one point. It was soooo soft. I carried it a lot and never had a problem with it getting dirty. I was surprised, but it seems to be quite durable.

Oh geez. I know. :nogood: I fell for their tricks because I wanted that nackie so badly. I refuse to wait 5 weeks though, because I am not paying for a bag that doesn't exist yet (cc statement will come due in a couple of weeks) and then waiting on a refund from HH or filing a chargeback after I have already paid. They get until the end of next week (giving them a few extra days because of 4th of July holiday, which I'm sure they would use as an excuse anyway for any delays) before I am asking for my money back.
I am still crossing my fingers that they will surprise all of us and come through, but I doubt it.
 
My credit card was not charged until they had the bag in NY (5 weeks after I placed my order).
Mine was charged immediately, which is why I am so nervous about this order. :tdown:

ETA: Just checked my accounts again, and it looks like the charge has mysteriously disappeared. Now it isn't even showing as a pending charge. Hmm.

Eek, I received a mysterious fedex shipping email with tracking number, but it doesn't say who the shipper is--could this be HH creating a shipping order for my nackie?? Fingers crossed.
