I got a black caviar med flap with gold hardware; called on Friday, because I decided I wanted the jumbo and they (Saks) are completely sold out ! My SA is going to continue checking for me but told me to wait for the new shipment in 2-3 weeks so it would be a "fresh" bag.
When I got to Saks at about 3 on Thursday, their shelves in the Chanel Boutique were almost empty -so it was a good thing I ordered my bag early (even if I'm going to exchange it). I live in the Detroit area (we're supposed to be in a depression here) and Saks was packed on Thursday -- and people were buying.
My EGC card said not good for LV? I know I've used one in the past for LV - did something change or did my SA let it pass? Enjoy your purchases! Cheers!
