There is already one negative review about the stock in the orange Cassie listing. And a ton of complaints on social media.
Oh well, I was done with Nordstrom awhile back but this is the final straw for me.
In the past they would reserve a certain amount for each loyalty tier only to release the final inventory when the sale opened to the public. This is the first year I’ve seen so many “regular” items sell out during early access. Usually it was only the very limited high-end designer exclusives that would be gone by now. But the Cassie is a very popular bag enjoyed by both luxury and contemporary wearers so that could be it too.
The Coach bag was really the only amazing deal/hot ticket item in the handbag category for this sale. Mostly everything else was made-for-outlet styles that were majority fake leather (there was an interesting discussion on the master thread about how one bag was advertised as being a leather bag, but only the strap was actual leather), and extremely overpriced. It doesn't shock me that it sold out so fast, but it's really lousy of Nordstrom to not hold back some stock for other tiers. I'm also wondering how many resellers bought multiples knowing that the Cassie style sells well on the second hand market.
They don't "hold back" stock for different tiers and/or public access. They haven't done that at least in the last 10 years (I am not sure what they did prior to that). When they restock it is only because of returns.
I am going to try anyway first thing in the morning. I was a bit surprised probably the nicest looking one is the chalk with the contrast burgandy and the tan/taupe. I got the red orange and it is adorable an a great pop of color. I am a color bag person and my husband loved the color so he said keep it. It did not come with the coach tag which is really annoying so i either have to keep it or the guy told me to order the chaise in the same color and swap the tags. Seriously. I have it sitting out so i am going to look at it for a few weeks and figure out if i will keep it before the 30 days are up. i still would love to know how Nordstrom managed this one. I am always trying to figure out the partnerships and why wouldn’t coach itself bring back the cassie. It is so bizarre. Hopefully maybe there will be some returns because people get the color and say oh that is too much color :o). If you can nail that one or the chalk i would grab it. I am so not a fan of the current line of coach bags so i had no intentions of buying any coach this year. I am a cassie person so couldn’t resist these at the right price point
Nordstrom does not have a time limit on returns. You can return your stuff next year and they will still accept it. Nordstrom Rack however, is only 45 days.
So feel free to take your time to think on your Cassie. No rush.
This is good to know. I ended up getting the card after I realized getting the card was the only chance I was going to get a Cassie during the sale, desperate times.
I got the color block and the tan, I would have liked a black better but it and the red had sold out.
Be sure to keep checking the site, especially early in the morning, as there will be lots of returns and you could snag one. Of course, you must be OK with buying a return. Good luck.
Thanks. The tan I got was a return, so anyone who ordered after icon etc has to be ok with a return it seems like.
Thank you. I don't know if I love it, I don't own any coated canvas bags I'm firmly a leather girl at heart, but the teenager has already said if I don't want it she'll take it.
The color block the one I was on the fence about is stunning! I was meh on the white in pictures, but in person? It's a 10.
I agree on the color block chalk. I was a no way but ordered it and adding the color and the contrast strap gives it class. I was able to land the red orange at 5 am. It had been in my cart so i got up each morning and i snagged it. You have to be fast on the fingers. The first one came to me on the 10th with no dog tag. So this is the second shot. I am debating about spraying a protectant then i thought wait if i am going to wear dark pants that could transfer (jeans, Tercel) i will spray the pants instead.
Never a fan of any of the coated canvas bags at all. I Just can’t feel good about the bag And they charge the same or more which is hilarious. There clearly is a big draw for logo bags i am just not one of them so i did not even want the tan one and the black i have already still sitting in my collection unused. I think i have just got to dark greens, reds, blues, vanilla willow bucket is sweet, cerise (it actually is cute 3 of those) and all the blacks sit in the room sort of lonely and forgotten
