I guess what bugs me the most is the new manager at my local boutique pushed hard with me about how limited it was and was going to sell out immediately. I should have known better than to trust her, she's so pushy every time I go in I try to avoid her. I absolutely love everything I have except for my purple rogue 25, I'm thinking of selling off all of my 25s though so it has nothing to do with not loving the collection. I know I will never sell anything else I have from this line, will use it for years, and eventually pass down a few pieces to my daughters when they get a bit older. So in that aspect im glad I got everything brand new and factory wrapped, I wouldn't want to worry about maybe getting beat up store displays for this line. You just never know what condition you will get when something is shipped from an outlet or FOS.

I think from this point forward though I will stick to making a wishlist and waiting for things to be marked down. Snow White has been my absolute favorite Disney movie my entire life, I doubt Coach will come out with anything that will top my love for it.

It depends on how badly you want an item, and how sad you would feel if you missed it. If it is something that you "really must have" then you are best off getting it newly released from the boutique or coach.com. If it is something that you like a lot but could live without, wait for a PCE or coach.com mark down sale.

I love finding a great bag at the outlet for a terrific price, but I usually just wait to see what shows up there that strikes my fancy and works for my wallet. If there is a specific bag that I really want, it is too risky to hope for it to go to the outlet and that I will be able to get it before it sells out.

You might go back to the boutique, wearing one of your DF bags and other items. Take all your dark fairytale receipts with you and ask to have a quiet, pleasant conversation with that pushy manager. Remind her what a good customer you have been and that she urged you to buy DF at retail because the "line was so limited" and then tell her how disappointed you are that loads of the bags/items have already shown up at the outlet for 50% off - and show her some of the online pics from the outlets.

Who knows, she might give you a merchandise credit for a discount on a new bag to keep as a good, happy customer?! If she says "no" you will be no worse off, and tt doesn't hurt to ask, but it's all a gamble!

You know nothing sells out. I am headed to outlet to do a few charge sends. No. They not returns. To make at each store to be returns.
 
Do the outlets ship or transfer? A friend thinks she saw the KH Rogue at her outlet a few days ago. She’s going to go back tomorrow to check for me. But if they have it, will they be willing to ship it to me or my outlet?
 
I’ve found the 25 is a good weekend bag when I don’t need to carry all my work stuff, but it would never work for a daily bag. So I get that. I’m actually searching out the Dark Fairytale purple and the KH 25 right now just for that purpose. Otherwise, the regular Rogue is definitely “my” size. If a bag doesn’t work for you, then it just doesn’t.
Yeah, I think my swagger 27s suit me better for a weekend bag. I hope you can find the purple one and KH for a great deal soon!
