They do have this bag at the outlet in Orlando, FL however it's not in this exact color..not sure if that is a deal breaker for you. The colors they have are a purple, yellow and a light/lime-ish/pastel green and the price is $1719. I'm sure if you call down there, they'd be happy to send you pics of what they have available. Everyone there is very kind and helpful. Not sure what you paid for the bag originally, so hopefully this helps and doesn't make your decision more complicated.

If the color isn't super important and you just like the style of the bag itself, then I'd probably return the original bag and take a look down at the outlet or elsewhere at other resale sites if that saves you money. I agree with grietje...I tend to also buy based on how much I love the bag not necessarily the resale value since it's so poor (generally) with BV.

do they have much bag inventory overall at the Orlando outlet right now?
 
Welcome!
In general, BV has terrible resale. Some items might get 60-70 percent, but I’d hope for 50 percent and it’s best to expect 30-40 percent.

If this is troubling to you and you can get the same bag for less and the condition is about the same, I’d return and buy the less expensive one.

That said, it could be a while to find another. I don’t know how many of these bags were made and if it is a hot seller. It could be at the outlet later this year. BV isn’t doing end of season sales anymore so waiting until May is likely not an option.

It’s tricky but you wrote about resale so I am guessing it’ll bug you so I’d return. You want to like a bag enough that getting absolutely nothing for it should you decide to let it go would be AOK.

Thank you very much, very helpful!

Thank you! I hadn't even thought of the outlets, will check it out.
 
I’ve seen some neat pieces too, but keep using my play money for bags. Some of the dog accessories! Wowza. I recently saw some glass intrecciato coasters i meant to pick up and forgot about….need to look for them, they were just :heart:
And furniture too
They used to make things for doggies too but I don’t think they do that anymore
Furniture, clothing, table ware they used to make it all

I wish i had been around for that….tableware, furniture, i can only imagine ….i did see an intrecciato leather throw pillow somewhere, and it was :heart:
