I contacted Alice Aster yesterday once I saw their homepage with the grey magnolia. I was in love! I own several Treesje bags (Blue Asher, Bordeaux Dylan, etc.) so I know I'll love the Magnolia. Anyways, I got replies to my emails from AA pretty much within minutes of sending them. I asked about any sort of discount (there is none) and random other questions. I actually ended up emailing them and asked them to call me and take my credit card and information. I haven't paid full price for any of my Treejse or RM bags but I'm in love with this bag so I hope it lives up to my expectations! Anyways, this is the latest responses to me:
Dear Melinda,
Thank you for your reply! I am sorry but we don't offer any discounts on this item. You are correct about the free pouch. It was offered to customers who preordered this bag in May. There were total 15 made and 10 will be available for online purchases. We've sold 4 of them so there are still 6 available for now. If you have other questions, please feel free to contact us again. Thank you!
