To all the new Bleecker Patent Tote owners.....here's a "FLASH"!

I was at the West County store in St. Louis (or Des Peres) Missouri. I so wish I would have known the #. I don't mean to sound smug, but I almost always know more than the SAs about the bags -- thanks to tPF!!
I also quietly told a girl who had been admiring a Madeline at the boutique to go over to Nordstrom and check out the ones they had on the 40% off table. :sneaky: She was very appreciative.
 
Oh, the SA who ordered the same plum bag as me was telling me about that wristlet. She tried to show me, but it was really hard to see on her monitor. So it was nice IRL? I was hoping it comes out around the same time as PCE. She said it was $198.
I think it would make a great companion to the tote. It has the buckle flap snap closure like the Bleecker capacity wristlets but it was like a wallet inside with compartments and pockets for credit cards. So you could carry it in the tote or use it alone if the tote is too big to carry with you.

I did like it a lot, but I don't really use clutches much, so it was a little pricey for me.

Thank you, Donnalynn11!!!!!!! If you happen to have that bag, could you possibly post some pics of the interior and some modelling pics so I can get the 'full effect' of the bag? If not, thats cool......never hurts to ask right? CAN NOT WAIT TIL THAT DARN SEARCH ENGINE IS BACK UP!!!!!!!! lol

Sure no problem. I knew I would like this bag as a nice every day toss around kind of bag, but really I am in total love with it! Its beautiful, comfortable, and waterproof!!

Donnalynn11, you are the BEST!!!!!!:hugs: Thank you so much for posting the pics and now that pushed me over the edge...i want one!! The interior color is just too pretty and I love how you accented it with that coin purse! GORGEOUS!!!!!!
 
Hi ladies,

That SA in the boutique you went to has to be a moron. All she had to do was type in the style # and it would have came up that it was available. I actually called JAX last night and was told they had 3,000 of the totes in stock in the Patent Plum. There is actually a number of accessories that they made to match the totes. One of them is the Clutch/Wristlet a few of you mentioned. Here are the ones that JAX gave me on the phone and a few I found myself by playing around with the numbers:

Patent Plum Tote #12362 $398
Delphine Bag #12363 $498
Bleecker Bag #41561 $198
Bleecker Clutch # 41560 $198
Slim Envelope Wallet # 41557 $248
French Purse Wallet # 41555 $218
Wristlet # 41559 $58
Mini Skinny # 41553 $48

I will post the rest of the pictures in a reply. Thanks.

Christina

Thanks for posting the pics! I think I found my ban breaker:push:

Back to the OT, the more I hear about incompetent SA's the more I think I should get a job a the boutique.
 
Sure no problem. I knew I would like this bag as a nice every day toss around kind of bag, but really I am in total love with it! Its beautiful, comfortable, and waterproof!!

Ok Donnalynn - I don't know if I should thank you or curse you! I have been trying to decide what to do about getting a wristlet for my bag and now that I see your pink capacity in it, I :heart: it and will probably be running to coach today:yes:!
 
I really wish someone would post pics of the Delphine and Sophie! I can't make up my mind for sure on this....tote or hobo! Also, does anyone know how much lighter the plum is from the purple francine?? I'm not sure if the blue Bleecker color is quite the blue I'm looking for, and I don't want a purple that's close to the Francine either! I may have to pass on these I guess, but I would like to make sure. I don't really own anything like those hobos, so that is my current attraction at this point...albeit they look a bit "plain" IMO. Good for a scarf or charm, though!!

To the O.P. Yeah, I know, this kind of thing drives me nuts!! It's not that I think I'm more knowledgeable or better than the Coach boutique SAs, but I have to admit I have a much better command of the products and info than many of them do! Don't get me wrong... I wouldn't trade the SA I have for anyone because she keeps me informed well before things are even posted on here, but she's the only one I've ever met that is truly good and knowledgeable! Many appear to either not care or not have a brain in their heads. Sorry for the insult, but it's definitely warranted in my location!! I say that too because I've been made to feel like I'm the dumb one, when I know what I'm talking about or otherwise I wouldn't be asking for the specific info! So you have my sympathy!! I've argued many a case with them, but yes, they do "know it all", don't they??
 
I got both my purple and blue bags from JAX, AND when I go into the coach store they all run over to hold my bags, haha, and even knew about it!, plus showed me how they have a larger version in the plum/ mahogomy!
