They are being held for SAS; I know because that's exactly what happened for some of the items last time. Things were not in the system, so people assumed these were sold out; a mad search for them began, and then bam the items pop up in the SAS.

I think you can presale over the phone if you find one in-store and have it shipped to you when the actual sale starts. We used to presell for customers who were visiting and they had it shipped to their home. So I think maybe you could do that over the phone. We always had presale goals, so they should be willing to help you with it.
I think the 27's are okay in terms of this problem, but my 37 has a cracked corner, and I didn't wear it that often...so I wouldn't buy the Swaggers full-price. As far as I can see, the large has thinner edges, and since the body of the bag is bigger, it's easier to develop this issue. When I bought the first, the sealant cracked within one use, so I exchanged another one, and now the second is doing the exact same thing after being taken out less than 10 times. At least I did buy mine during the last PCE, otherwise I know I would be absolutely livid, as these bags are not cheap...
+1 agree 100%. I have experienced this personally with my Peach Rose Phoebe, which was supposedly "gone" forever, only to see this bag reappear everywhere during the SAS sale.
The same holds true for many other bags which miraculously come back!
I look at the Swagger and wonder if its going to go the way of the Borough. Expensive material first followed by cheaper MFF versions and multiple appearances simultaneously on SAS and FOS like the Rhyder. Even the Dakota with feather fob ended up on FOS.
Personally, I'm holding out for the 75th anni collection where I wouldn't be surprised to see bags over $1000. Anyone know if Coach included a Swagger in the collection?
The only motivation to buy FP is if you find a particular color combo that really speaks to you.

Ditto! I have tracked the chalk colorblock 37 in my online cart, and one day all of them are gone! Before then, at least 20 was said to be available. And around September, the large embossed borough (style #32425, retail $1600) disappeared from the system, then came back months later on the SAS...
I agree with others here. Unless you absolutely, positively have to have a certain Swagger right now, I'd wait. I bought mine with a PCE and am really glad I did not pay full price.
I just noticed the price of the regular Swagger went up by $55 on the site, they are now $550 and they were $495 before.
Semi-Annual Sale I think the next one will be around December/January since the last one was in June/July
You can get it at Lord and Taylor at 30% off right now $416.50! Plus free shipping and no tax if no L&T near you. Not sure how long the sale is going on for. No coupon, price adjusts in cart
