Found this Warm Gray Town Tote on Bloomingdales.com last week. It was marked down to $298.50 and since I'm a Loyalist I got an additional 15% off for $253.72. I thought that was an excellent deal so jumped right on it.

It was probably one of the last ones Bloomie's had because it disappeared from the site shortly after my purchase. Fast forward to today when the Tote arrived shipped from California. It was love..........until upon further inspection.........

I'm sorry, but very pretty. I have been debating about the caramel color with the mandarin. Maybe if I can find it on sale...

So disappointing about your bag because it really was a great deal.

Yes, they shipped it from Bloomie's at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto. I was pretty excited when I first opened it and even DH commented that he liked the suede interior but then I did the close-up inspection under the light and saw the corner wear.

Yes, it seems like it will scuff very easily. Very fragile.

I was going to make some suggestions but that is too big a scuff to even have sold! When you get your new one, you can install feet from Joanne's Fabric, coat it with Apple Cream and spray with Apple Garde. EITHER OOF THOSE IS WORKING FOR ME. JUST BE CAREFUL FOR SUEDE COLOR RUNOFF ON WHAT YOU PUT INSIDE. IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM. THERE ARE OTHER BOROUGH bags coming out with open insides without suede that might work better. You might want to check them out.

I'm so glad you mentioned the suede color transfer because of course I found information on that after the fact, too. Thanks for the protection tips and I will be looking into the feet for some of my other bags.

Oh and you are right! I've already eyed another one that I like so it makes the pain of returning this one sting a little bit less! :D

Have you seen the Black Soft Borough with the Grommets??? OMG! She's the ONE! :laugh:

Bloomies is having another sale, maybe they have another - you never know, and this time the sale is 40% with the code BBQ or ask for a PA or return but tell them the condition of the bag and how you are not happy
