Involuntary Coach ban support group

Hi Sarah! Here you go.

My crossbody pouch with an LV cles and LV round coin purse in the back section, and iPhone 5, HK compact and Clinique lippie in the front section. My phone is in the slip pocket. It zips up quite nicely. I'm taking the photos on my iPad.

I tried to squeeze in my LV PM agenda but it's not quite big enough to do up the zipper without scratching the agenda.

Here it is with my phone in the back section and four passports and LV cles in the slip pocket in the front.

You can see it bulges when you put in something really stiff in the back section (my phone) because of the creed.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for sharing! I was wondering what would fit in those little cuties!

It's warmer in Ohio than California today. My bff in Oceanside told me it was in the 30s and I was so shocked! That's real winter in CA!

It’s definitely cold for this area. Lol I had to pull out an actual coat today haha

A few years ago, I was afraid this would happen to me. I was buying a lot, and returning a lot. A lot of people were getting locked out then. I rarely buy anything now, mostly because everything I want is sold out by the time I get on. Once you get locked out, I don't know if you ever get back in. I would probably create a new account.

I haven't returned anything I bought! The biggest purchase was when I bought all the hologram items and a pair of gloves but that was in store purchase. I sold my hologram Crosby instead of returning I have no pattern of returning any outlet items. I'll keep my money I don't have for them. I had $143 from my sales on Mercari and just spent $100 at TB. Besides they really don't have anything I have to have at the outlet either.

Do you notice that some people think you're younger when you carry a backpack? When I had 2 in diapers, I used a backpack diaper bag and people constantly thought I was much younger. I was so amused until I saw another mom my age with a backpack and sandals just like me and thought she was a teenager. Ha! I loved using a backpack but just don't anymore. Hmmmm now I'm thinking if it really works as antiaging maybe I should rethink that. A backpack is great-in college I didn't even carry a purse! Ah that was sweet! If I didn't have the backpack, I just had what I needed in my pocket.

You know, I was using my LV backpack over the weekend at Costco, and as I was trying to put a case of water in the bottom of the cart, an employee actually helped me put all the ones I wanted for me. Haha normally they just ignore me

I have 3 accounts, 1 was locked out but that only lasted about 6 months. The account I returned almost nothing was the one that got locked out. I can't seem to find a rhyme or reason to how they decide who gets in and who doesn't.

It's ok. I only bought 3 items last sale. 2 reserve and one outlet item. Not like I got 5 leather goodies. The sale before that I bought a coat. No leather goods. So I don't understand what disqualified me to purchase from this sale but whatever. Had anyone been able to order from every FOS event?

Back in 2015, I bought often and returned quite a bit, but I was not blocked. There was one sale I could not sign in, though. I didn't buy anything from fos last year and only one purchase so far this year. I think they can be quite random. Another example is their coupons. I don't always get them. [emoji21]

That was me in 2015!
If I remember correctly, there was someone who was blocked only a couple months and then got back in. I only remember not being able to log in once. I don't try to log in for every single sale, though.

Exactly! No logic to how it happens. I think it's a computer thing. We all know how glitchy the website is.

Yup. I was told it's completely random. What's worse is if you are not invited to shop online you aren't allowed place order on the phone either. They straight up don't want your money. But I'm sure they won't turn me away at the register if I were to buy at the outlet. I know I'm going to miss out on all the retro stuff.

We might need some new ban island security. Lots of swimming is going on!
I came to report that I have not purchased a bag since December & no SLG since January. I’m also doing OK on eBay- most of my bags have sold- it’s down to SLGs and 2 purses! I have more to sell off. I’d really like to downsize more.
Anyone else have ban goals?

Agree on the need to try to stay more banned (or more semi-banned, lol). Good job on not buying any bags in 2018 so far. I would love to downsize some more even though I already reached a good (enough) number last month. Ideally, I would love to get down to 12 — but emotionally and realistically, I don’t think I can ever do that. With my latest purchase, I am one above my number so I need to sell one. Like I said earlier today, it would be a ban island miracle if I could not buy any more bags in 2018 and just buy one SLG. A miracle (for all on ban island and beyond) is welcome right now.

Good idea about remaining on the island. I haven't purchased a new bag since September. I bought a Coach Bleeker flap in Hunter Green and an MZ Wallace. I have three bags I plan to sell, and one is already on ebay. Another will be there this evening. I'm looking at something for the Coach promotion, and I'm justifying it with my one in and one out rule although I have 3 freebies. I may also see if there's another bag I can sell or donate. I'm really trying to downsize although I can't seem to get below 16-17 bags (not counting SLGs).

Wow! Twelve is an incredible goal for you! Good work! That's a good number for me, too. I just don't change bags as often as others do.

 

[HesitantShopper]

Yes, yes, I can see that. I'm using my Roots small Grace while we have this deluge of rain which is following our most recent wave of snowy days. She is a tough cookie!

They are, mine is on it's second winter. Salt literately wipes off, no damage whatsoever....
