I visited the new Bravern TODs for the first time. It is great to have a boutique close enough to visit, for a change. There were several Flower and Cape bags on sale. Finally I am up to speed on the sizes of the bags.

The boutique itself was airy feeling, with tall ceilings. It was not too bright or too shiny inside. I always find visually busy stores a distraction.

The Wave bag is still at the top of the list. I find that the small works best and will definitely add one in the future. I hear there is a chestnut brown suede version coming soon. Also, Tods is adding a smaller version..smaller than the mini. It will be called the Micro, as in microwave (groan).

I met 2 SAs and they were very nice and helpful. I don't think you could go wrong with either.

Have any other members been to this new boutique?
 
Hi, what was your impression of the sizes and weight of the Cape? I think I need the Small because I want to hand carry rather than shoulder and I do better with medium vs. large bags. Any thoughts?
Must have been cool to see the new boutique!

The medium seemed too large for me and the small, too small, but it looks like, based on our Cape thread, that most are getting the medium. The ones I saw were not too heavy. It is so subjective. You should really try them first, or order from a place that offers returns or exchanges.
 
While it'll be nice to have a boutique to see items in person, it's also the end of no sales tax for Tod's purchases for WA state residents. That makes me a bit sad as that will include items purchased from the Cabazon outlet in CA and shipped to WA.
 
The new spring collection products are slowly beginning to show up in stores and what I'm most excited about is their new handbags! So many new styles coming this season and I can't wait. Pictures were taken in Bellevue store.
They finally have all the wave sizes and one of the new straps that you buy separately. Also the new Venice bag (shown in Python) has finally arrived! Thoughts?! I think it looks so great I can't wait to see the other variations of it.
