I got so lucky! I saw on the 28th and didn’t buy it, couldn’t stop thinking about it so drove back to the city (2.5 hours) in the hope that it was still there and it was!! Couldn’t believe my luck.
I did ask how they were able to discount when no one else was, the SA just said that there are some brands (Celine and Bottega to name 2) that don’t allow them to discount their bags online but they can do in store, although the price for classics/new styles will go back up. I paid £2049, discount from £2870. The large hop, the Jodie, the Lauren 1980 and the Andiamo were all discounted to some degree.
For those in scotland (sorry) - it’s definitely worth checking out Cruise in either Glasgow, Aberdeen or Edinburgh. I thought they had stores in England but it appears not. The only downside - Customer Service post purchase is awful and they only do exchanges rather than returns so don’t purchase without knowing you 100% want the item.
