The anniversary sale bag

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.
I have been seeing many of them pop up on eBay/posh for $500-600 USD... insulting!

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
I have had the chalk cassie 19 for over a year and did not spray it, it has no color transfer, still looks great. Surprisingly hard wearing.

I got VERY lucky and snagged the Cassie in black leather. I called my local Nordstrom a couple times and asked them to put one on hold for me if they got a return. The girl ended up finding me one that was tucked away in inventory. Brand new, all the packaging in tact etc. It does have some dimpling on the front but nothing extreme. I'm so shocked and happy that I finally got my hands on it after 2 years! :)
 
Hi all! Quick question for those who managed to score a Cassie early on during this sale- did your bag come with a dust bag? Not a deal breaker for me as I'm SO lucky to have managed to get one right before the sale ends but just curious to see if it was supposed to come with one? Thanks in advance!

My black one did, but it was a return probably from the warehouse. The ones I saw in store out on display when the sale first opened to icons had the dusbtags removed.

My chalk Cassie had a noticeable black scuff on the front and along the edges of the base when I last carried it. I think my bag got the scuff transferred from my car when I leaned over the inside of the trunk. Luckily, I wiped it with Leather CPR and it the scuff marks went away. I was relieved!

Sorry late in responding. Yes they should have a bag. The first cassie in red/orange came and you could tell it was a display and there was no dog tag. It was a stroke of luck early in the sale that i got up at 5 am and scored a second so i was going to take the dog tag off the new on but it actually was in better condition. To me try to just find another bag same size and keep the bag and return purse. I have gotten plenty of bags without the dust bag and that is what i do. May be controversial but to me why should i keep a purse that did not come complete with everything. I usually use coach.com and return to the store. They ship back to coach and you get your refund right away

I think that is key. Keep some cream in your car and don’t let the stain set. Keep them conditioned to for a little protection

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm glad you were able to score a bag with the complete set and in a better condition. I will def try to keep an eye out for those random restocks!

I ended up with 2 Red Orange. I saw that posting on ebay and posh I know the people that are buying low and selling outrageous plus their definition of “NWT” is laughable. i returned the extra because i am not going to lower myself to be part of that band of theives. I thought the taxation on profits would curb that and get it back to an honest resale sight but no. They probably cheat on the value. In any case i have sold a couple of my older bags for not more than i paid and saw the person repost stating “oh they are reposting this because they have used it and time to recycle their collection” they only had it for a day. So I will donate my bags before i will sell them.

You know i am not a 100% sure the cassie will make it there. it might though. I did get the sale pricing. I will receive the coach 19 in sport red Tomorrow. Likely i will just keep buying one every month and returning the other one until they go on sale :o). I know a lot of work to save probably 75 dollars but it is the point. I am a bit concerned the red will sell out. It looks like all the bags are being shipped from stores and not warehoused. Guessing we got Canadian over stock so they put them in the stores to draw foot traffic

so right now i paid Nordstrom sale on the two large cassies but full price on the cassie 19. I don’t see coach throwing them on sale again until closer to november again.

I kept an eye on a bag i wanted from Nordstrom (Beat saddle green) cleared out at coach and Macy’s and Nordstrom was still selling that bag at full price and still may be. I don’t know i would hod out for the Nordstrom sale again on that bag
