I should have looked at the receipt more closely — or the SA should have point out the 30 day return. Oh wow, your Macy’s must have a big Backstage section. My backstage is on the 3rd floor (what a hike) and so pathetic and small — nothing good — just a few MCM bags and a few other (maybe Valentino) bags locked in a glass case, the rest are like Betsey Johnson types.

I think I will enjoy my new bags since they are all good size carefree shoulder bags. I was trying to pick the best ones and return the rest (to keep my number down) but was 1 day/3 days too late. I like the signature Sutton —but I was being nitpicky about the outside pocket issue (there was a thread here about how on the signature Chaise, the outside pocket has a similar curved part over the zipper that makes it hard to open/close. I figured out how to work around it — by zipping it only to the end of the curve and not beyond it to avoid the zipper getting caught in the canvas, not sure if I explained it right). Anyways, I didn’t spend a lot on each bag — so even if I sell later, I won’t lose a lot, lol. I am mostly done for the year except possibly a special bag for my special anniversary (may have to put this on hold to help out my parents).

Happy (almost!) Birthday! Are you okay after the injury?

Thanks!!
Yes and no lol. I ended up with a ton of stitches on my leg but was feeling good until a call for a horse stuck deep in mud. I thought I would be good duct taping a garbage bag around my leg but the mud still got in and now I'm on antibiotics for infection. The poor horse is doing fine though!!

Hi. An update to my April bag splurge saga. I tried to return the signature Sutton to Macy’s but was told it was past the 30 day return period for Last Act items. I didn’t know about the 30 day period. I missed it by 3 days :(. I would try to sell it but I don’t have time to sell (for the rest of this year :(). My black bag was also a Last Act item — missed the return by 1 day. My DB tote was not a Last Act but I like it the best out of the three so I am not returning it.

So then, I ended up with 4 new bags in April (including my new Kristin). I am done for awhile. Still at a “reasonable” number of bags for a TPFer. Thanks for all your advice and sharing this saga with me :)

Oh shoot. Sorry it was past the date. That’s new with the 30 days for Last Act. I noticed that recently on a bag I bought and then quickly sent it back when I realized it wouldn’t work. Well I guess just enjoy the bags, sell them, or gift them.

Sorry that happened to you; sounds horrible! But at least the horse is fine. It’s funny how such powerful creatures need us every now and then.

Yes, I love the asymmetrical lines of that bag. And the color, and the leather. Simply elegant.

Btw, sorry if it has been asked before, but is your avatar Vivien Leigh? And are you familiar with vivienofholloway.com? Your username made me curious. :blush:

Yes! It is Ms. Leigh! I was not familiar with vivienofholloway but I just took a peak and it looks like a very fun site.

UPDATE: Ok, so am only human. Just now got this Legacy Rambler (Made in the Mexico plant) for under $30 (that includes shipping) on Ebay. There is also a sweet brown Prairie there that I was sorely tempted by but still too expensive for me (plus decided I would get more use out of Rambler due to its shape). If I can get something for under $30 I can definitely be swayed. Like my Patricia's Legacy bag (USA made), I got for about $22 in an auction and it is practically mint. Ok, ummmm, back on the wagon! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

I committed a few sins on FOS/PCE and likely will at SAS. But, DH told me to pick out some stuff for Mother's Day and my birthday is next week. I'm guessing at least something will get returned. DH and the kids also ordered me something after I got injured while volunteering. I don't have high hopes though because he doesn't have the best taste :lol:, he said it arrives tomorrow.

Lol, I guess 4 bags ain’t a lot for this year if I am “good” the rest of the year. Part of me thinks I should return the DB tote so that I am only up by 3 bags. But i like it the best of the three (if I had to choose one) and least expensive. I should not spend what little free time and energy I have making another trip to Macy’s

Maybe you will get some time to list the Sutton. Will you wait to cut the tags?
