    :nuts: I've been dying for this bag.. I was looking for Black but Brown will make me happy too! I remember when these were on Bluefly a few weeks back. Even had one in my shopping cart for a bit but I was so afraid of getting a fake, I turned it loose. I remember reading that some PF'ers got one(?) & they ended up being authentic. This morning, while checking out the Balenciaga "hook" bags on Bluefly (in case any of you are interested:graucho: ) this padded one pops up. I thought, what the heck, I'll get my money back if not. And you bet I'll have my fellow PF experts check it out for me;)

    BTW, Just curious, did someone here return this?

    Anyway, with my coupon & ******, it came to $1100. I guess that's a good deal (I don't know exactly what it retails for:shame: ) but it's the "small" one- 12" wide it stated.

    Also, did you know that Bluefly is now attaching security tags to their bags? I guess they are at least making an effort to not get a bait & switch...

    Congrats! I bought one from Bluefly a few weeks ago and still have it so it's not my return. :smile: I bought two actually, the large black (still haven't returned it but it's definitely going back) and the medium brown. The brown one came with a tag but the black one did not. They're just a flimsy paper tag and it seems like someone could carefully detach and reattach if they wanted. Anyway, congrats!

    aaaaah! you beat me! I was ready to put it in my cart and *poof* it was gone! good for you! actually i'm really looking for the small black, so you did me a favor in buying it. I like the brown, but I don't think i would have totally been happy with it since black is my first choice. enjoy your new bag!

    I'm glad a PF friend snapped it up! honestly, I probably would have ended up returning it, so it all worked out for the best. it's a beaaaautiful bag- I just don't need her in brown. I'm glad this found a good home!

    Arrrgggghhhh :cursing: ... so, [yet again] I look at Bluefly to see if there's anything, and spotted the Rouge Vif X2 Boston bag. I click the "Shopping Bag" button thinking that I FINALLY actually 'scored' it ... and then when I look at my Shopping Bag, it says the bag's NOT AVAILABLE :Push: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Okay ... who's the culprit?!?! :wtf:

    Oh CeeJay, I was SO CLOSE to getting the red one too. Actually, all 3 of those Boston bags have been on there since yesterday. I was surprised they lasted that long. Keep checking, hopefully someone will release it~:smile:

    What I REALLY want, is the LARGE Marron Glace Matelasse (as you can see, I have the smaller size Black one). I'm NEVER lucky on Bluefly ... even though (as of late), I could log on at 3am since I seem to be waking up at that time!

    Wow, congrats! I love that bag.

    BTW, you did get a good price. I almost bought the small black one at NM a few months ago and I belive it was retailing for about $1900 (which is why I passed it up and got my greige twiggy instead)

    Whoa ... get out ... "Needless Markups" was charging $1900 for the SMALL Matelasse? :Push:

    I purchased my SMALL Black Matelasse at Barneys, and it was $1795; the LARGE-size (which should really be called the MEDIUM because ... believe it or not ... there is a WEEKENDER size although the style is a little different) should retail at $1995.

    Hmmm...maybe those were the prices at NM too...I could be wrong...it was a while ago. I just know it was out of my price range and A LOT more expensive than the twiggy, so acegirl got an excellent deal for $1100.

    I might have come up the $1900 after figuring in the tax

    Yup, I just did the math, $1795 plus 6% sales tax is a hair over $1900 - that must be why I remember that figure
