Ahhh it was a good try, I knew that the price was waaay better than it should have been. Still thought I'd try though, just in case...
I went to a different Macy's a half an hour away and stumbled across their new "What Goes Around..." counter. I guess WGA is a vintage luxury store. Anyways they had maybe up to 10 bags each from
Celine, Hermes. etc. In the Bal section, they had a few mini A4s, a papier bucket and two Firsts (a pink (I believe rose Bonbon)with GGH and an Olive First). I asked to see the Olive one because I recognized the soft chèvre leather. It was a 05 Z tag and it was priced at $1,150. Who would have thought of ever finding an 05 First at Macy's? So that was an interesting happening for me

wow.. which macy's was this? i haven't shopped there in a bit, but it might be time i made my way to midtown.
It's in CA (think you are around NY?). The SA said only 4 Macy's have these counters so far. She is actually an SA for the handbags dept so she didn't really know anything about Bals. She seemed to think the items are not preowned but rather display models etc. But I don't know how a 2005 bag can show up now here. The tag on the Olive one looked pretty legit to me since I have two Ztags. It seems "pricey" for a discontinued bag? She asked if I wanted to use gloves to inspect the bag (weird--my hands were clean, lol)
Gloves? Crazy. Yeah, that's pretty pricey for an 05 bag. How was the condition?
Yeah, I'm in NY- close to their flagship store. I may have to check it out but I absolutely detest the location. I only go there when friends from out of town are visiting.
Hi everyone, I just bought my second Bbag, it's a rose fluo city classic and I am in love with the color! I just wanted to know how some of you feel about the giant long tassle/whisker leather strips on these bags. I have taken them off both of mine. On my mini city I didn't feel like they were overwhelming but I still took them off, but on the city classic they are so huge and distracting! I even removed the mirror because it was on such a long loop. Does anyone else take these off?
I keep mine inside the bag most of the time. I like them, but find they get in my way .
I keep mine on the front zip pocket but keep the ones on the long zip inside the bag (a small trick, you can tuck the "rabbit ears", the long ends of the zipper, inside your bag. Then roll the tassels and put them inside on very small ziplock bag, like the ones you get for jewelry, and close the bag around the piece of tassel that's still connected to the zipper head. Keeps your tassels clean and undamaged. It works if you don't zip your bag closed, I never do). I also remove my mirror and store it in the dust bag.
I love your feedback and advice!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels the need to customize a little ...
I'm big on not changing the intent of the style but I do feel you have to make the bag work for you. I'm petite so too many tassels look a bit too much on me. I do leave them all out on my Day bags though, as the bag is more north south and I feel it works better on that style of bag for my height.
