Earlier this week a wonderful PF member (shout out to Yorelica!) posted that the Canada boutiques had put the Cloudy Bundle collection on sale for 30% off. I called Nordstrom Topenga and my s/a Lori had a brand new "white" n/s tote in the back - and price matched it for me!
Chanel really named the Cloudy colors incorrectly. What they call "beige" is actually the dirty olive; I thought they were different colors but they're not. When I told Lori I wanted beige she went over the colors on the boxes with me. The greenish brown is dirty olive, and the white is beige, as you can see from my photo. It's more of a tan beige versus a yellow beige.
Let me tell you all that pictures do not do the Cloudy Bundle tote justice *at all*. I always maintained it looked cheap and trendy in photos, but IRL it is just gorgeous. It arrived with my khaki Cabas and I barely gave the khaki a second look all day. The Cloudy leather is soft yet sturdy enough that the bag doesn't collapse when set down; I ran my fingernails over the leather and no scratches appeared, and it sits very comfortably on the shoulder. It was instant
and the $700 savings really sweet!
I'm hoping my ebay sales do well to fund this beauty! I am even returning my brown caviar Classic Jumbo flap to Denise at Nordstrom Seattle. It hasn't even been used yet and will receive no use with the new Cloudy, so if anyone is looking for a dark brown Caviar Jumbo I'll hook you up with Denise and you can purchase it when it arrives back to the store! I'd love for her to have a sale all lined up, since I always feel terrible returning bags to wonderful s/a's.
