Just picked up the last part of my order at the store, so this is all of it ----

Sea Glass Crosstown, Dahlia feather, Canary feather, Plum feather, Cornflower feather, New Year red charm wallet, Cornflower charm wallet, Zip around photo-album keyring, and Backpack keyring. The red wallet and the backpack are things daughter wanted.

The photo-album will be de-keyringed ... I want to use that as a tiny, tiny case for pills/jewelry/whatever in small bags. And the backpack, although a keyring, is *huge* :laugh:. The black part, which is a fully functional zippered pouch, is 4" x 3.5" x 1.5". In terms of volume, I'd say it holds just as much as a mini-skinny if not more, although credit cards are a little too tight because the rounded part of the backpack tries to cut off the top corners of the cards. Price on that is only 65$, which surprises me given how big it is and considering it's all leather.

[And here's the kicker .... I ended up getting everything at 51% off. ... :faint: ... When I stood in the store last week, getting most of this rung-up and/or ordered, the computer screwed up and took the 30% off twice. Note, my SA is very good and certainly knows what she's doing --- this was the computer that goofed, not her. I was in a rush and she was busy, so neither of us noticed until later that afternoon, long after I had left the store. I was a good girl though, and I dutifully brought the receipt back in today, while picking up the ordered items, to have it all re-rung correctly. I did *not* want my SA to get in trouble. But since it was the computer's fault, and I've been a regular for years, they decided to just let it go. Attached is a snippet from the receipt to show what I mean. See how it's two deductions each time? I gotta say, after the horrible luck of last summer (remember, I had an aunt-who-was-like-a-parent and two parrots die within one month), it's nice to see things turning. :D ]

Oh, and I made a new wing out of the feathers. I know my artistic skills leave much to be desired. You'd think with all the birds in the house, I'd be able to make a more convincing wing. Yeah well.

So glad you got that discount. I'm sure your SA appreciates your honesty. You got really lovely things. Congrats!
 
It wasn't me you asked, but I can answer you in case you want to get an order in. Okay, the whole feather thing started way back when Coach made a leather and metal feathers with hang tags on a ball chain as a give away item for the US and made a long metal feather fob for the Asian give away item.....of course we all wanted them, so Coach wised up and started making fob/purse charm versions.

So, the first one was actually the give away set, that has recently hit the outlets...

Then came the purse charm ones with the clips, I think these are all the colors in no certain order. I have them all, but the orange...I hate orange. I don't have them on display right now so I can't do a quick photo.

Blush
Petal
Dahlia
Birch
Orange
Black w/ Silver
Black w/ Gold
Denim
Cornflower
Canary
Plum
Black Cherry


Thanks. The list really helps. On the black with gold and with silver were those a black leather feather and then an additional metal feather in gold/silver?
 
I just realized I probably should have labeled the colors in that wing. Not sure if I can easily edit it back in, so re-posting it here ...

Are your blush and petal significantly different? I have the blush, and when I compared to petal it didn't seem like that much different. I know the color codes were different, and that "pinks" went from "blush" to "petal", (and that one was Asian market while the other American), but it seemed so similar. :thinkin: I wonder why they decided to "change" their light pinks.

What is the style number for the backpack?...it is really cute. :tender:

They are only slightly different. I don't have a FP near me so I am unable to compare in person before I buy. I kept both even though they are very close in color.....just because. :laugh:

Heh. Yeah, I just couldn't see the point in getting the petal, because when I actually looked, they seemed to be just about the same. (I didn't study and study and study, mind you, but yeah.)

I miss the days when things were ... say ... red.

Not fire engine red, or true red, or blood red, or ruby red ....... just ... red. :laugh:

I totally understand what you mean.
 
Thanks for posting the comparison pics of the two cornflower bags. You have me thinking now.... ;)

You're welcome! I know... I was thinking and thinking and when the PCE came in the mail I decided lol.

Thanks so much for posting! Those are absolute beauties! I love that Cornflower Ace in the store, but trying to resist buying smaller bags when I know they won't be used. Hoping to see the denim Rogue in a 36! Got to save my pennies until then :laugh:

Thank you! Yes, save those pennies for the Rogue!

Love [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️

Thank you!
