Can I ask how recent this was? And did they honour the price before the increase? Not that $10 makes any difference in the grand scheme of things hahaha I've been on the waiting list since end of December, and each time I call up they say different things to me. Recently they have said there is 2 waiting list. One for paid/deposit, and one for not. I asked if making a deposit helps, and they said not much. So I didn't go in person to do it. But from what you've said, it sure does. It pretty much buts you on top of their list because I gather not many would put a deposit considering the amount and there is no guarantee if they will get one.

Anyway, how are you finding it? I bet you are using it, and enjoying it heaps? You should post some pics. I would love to see it.

putting down a deposit does help slightly better then not. When I was on the waiting list for the Pochette Metis and paid deposit for it, I got it within 3-4 weeks.

I think it also depends which store you get it from because I got my pochette metis from Melbourne on Colins st and the SA said that once the bag arrives I would only have ONE DAY to get it before they give it to the next person in line (so I had to get my best friend to pick it up for me as I live in the ACT)

But then when i was in the George st store and I asked about the Palm Springs mini the SA told me about the waiting list etc and i said to put my name down and asked him about the "one day pick up or next person in line" applied there too and he said no it doesn't.

So... yeah i hope this sheds some light

Thanks for the info! Have you gotten your mini backpack yet? I'm playing on going in to make a deposit in the next few weeks when I get a chance. Did you pay your deposit in full or half? It's such a cute and unique bag. I don't want to miss out or pass it up.

No not yet :( I have to save for it, only asked to be put on the wait list end of Feb. Probs wont have the funds until July or end of June.

I did pay half for the pochette metis than paid the other half once I had the money so will most likely do the same for the back pack :)

it is, i dont wanna miss out too - stalked some on eBay but they cost more then how much they are retailing so figured i should just wait first and if the back becomes discontinued than I will resort to a pre loved one :)

let me know how you go <3

I just called the online number and added myself to the national wait list today. The woman said there are about 400 people on the list, and if all goes well, my bag is expected to ship in "about a month". So we shall see! Until then, I've been stalking the website.

Update: They ended up fulfilling my sister's order (she waited almost a month) so she didn't take this one. Since I sent it to the store, I went in to see if it was something that I might want to keep for myself. There were other customers standing right next me admiring the bag when I was looking it, and the SA kept on telling me how it's really hard to get one. But I was having a really hard time convincing myself to take it home. I think everyone thought I was crazy for not wanting it. It's been almost a week and I don't miss it at all so I'm sure I made the right choice. [emoji4]

Is there an age cap on this bag?? What do you think??

I think it all depends on style and body shape!
It's very trendy so if you're more of a conservative/business casual type of dresser than I don't think it will work. Also if you are more of a fuller figured body shape, I think it will look odd having a mini backpack hanging around the mid area, specially worn as a cross body.

I just got mine in the mail but I'm going to go into the San Francisco boutique and return it. It's as cute as I thought it was going to be, maybe even cuter, but as soon as I pulled it out I realized that for me it is too close to my pm version and I will use the pm more. I've already used it every day since December lol. I haven't even let myself try it on or adjust the straps because I want to stay strong lol. I think I am going to get a DA piece with the pink lining instead!

This was available to add to shopping bag on the UK website. I asked my parents who were in London although they are leaving tomorrow to see if they could go to a store and get me the mini backpack or the pochette metis but no dice. They said there was a waiting list for both items and to come back in 2 months. Really wish I could have got them to buy it online and then collect it at a boutique but because they are leaving tomorrow so it didn't allow for enough time as it takes 2-3 days before you can collect. Keep checking the website because it changes from add to shopping bag to call for availability.
