Hi guys! First-timer on this thread. I bought the pink lady day before final sale at $92 after discounts and ******. Just wondering if that's an amazing price or will all the colors get this low/lower eventually? I'm not in a rush to buy and I like some of the other colors better. I'm also a 00/0, so will other colors likely sell out in these sizes before they're discounted below $100? Thanks!

I don't think you should count on all colors getting to that price. They will discount some colors more than others, and some colors won't get discounted at all. However, if the coat and color you want hasn't sold out by this point, it being late in the winter and after Christmas and all, then it probably won't sell out til it gets to a really good price. So maybe you will luck out and get the color you want at a further mark down. It's a gamble.

I bought my Double Cloth Bonbon coat in nightfall blue two winters ago at the first sale point--30% off outerwear. The color and the coat sold out in the company and never made it to final sale. I love it when that happens. :)

I would consider it, especially if it is exotic. Their bags are very well made, have great leather and construction and are made in Italy.

I have one bag from j crew that was $1,200. It's leather and calf hair (leopard print). I got it because the quality, like you said, is very well made and the leather very, very nice. I'm glad I purchased it.

I'd definitely think about the exotic Edie. The shape of the bag is classic.

Would you spend $1,500 on a J. Crew bag? Mid-price label dives into luxury market with alligator skin clutch


J. Crew has turned its popular $238 leather Edie bag into a $1,500 luxury version made out of alligator skin.
It is the mid-priced brand’s first foray into the world of luxury handbags, which has been released as part J. Crew's high-end 'Collection' line that includes 'rare, special, and entirely worth it' pieces like $1,800 python pencil skirts.
The new alligator skin Edie bag is only available at J.Crew’s Madison Avenue flagship, meanwhile a python version of the bag, which retails for $795, is available via J.Crew’s website as well as at the Madison Avenue store.

i suppose if you really love the shape and style of the bag...that's a pretty reasonable price point for exotic.

I personally wouldn't -- because 1) i'm not into exotic skin products and 2) I'm a tad of a brand snob for bags.

I don't disagree that the the bags are well-made and the quality is good. However, that doesn't change the fact that I would never spend that kind of money on a J Crew bag (even if it was an exotic).

Hey ladies, does anyone here own the Signature Tee from Jcrew that says "Amour et joie" or what do you guys think of it? I saw it in the store, but I was not impressed with it so I didn't bother trying it on. If it goes down in price I might buy it, it is like something we JCrewAholics can wear around the house to show our love for Jcrew. Lol

I'll wear it for casual and dressy looks, use it as the pop of color if I'm wearing neutrals.

Like you, I was on the fence. If it was baby pink, I would have passed. But this is an adult pink. I'm 38 and will fell confident wearing it. :D

Thanks for your help. I ordered it. I'm 39 and so I totally feel the same way.

I wanted the slim trench too but the colors I wanted are all gone. How do they fit?

The slim trench is a bit looser than the lady day coat, which has a more fitted silhouette.

DC, thanks a lot! I love your style and trust your recommendations. I've been eyeing the slim trench and reading reviews today. Right now I'm torn between the burgundy and the navy. My style tends to be classic/preppy even when I'm casual. I wear black, charcoal/grey, navy,
camel, pink, white, cream and burgundy a lot. My coloring is a medium dark maybe like Kerry Washington.

All the info is so you can choose for me. I guess I'd add last that I have a navy stadium cloth empire coat but I don't think they'd serve the same functions. Thanks.
