I just bought a jige in bordeaux evercolor (twins with you, js2367!), but I am having painful remorse - love the color and the leather, and I have been wanting a jige, but I have 2 problems: (1) I am only going to buy one of these, maybe I should get an more "evening" color (black?), and worse, (2) I bought it at a different store (same city) than my usual and I am trying to build a relationship with my SA because I am dying for a Kelly!! What to do? Does anyone have any advice? Thanks... :tdown:

Return it to the other store and ask your SA to find you one in a different color?

My two cents is that Bordeaux is a great, more “fun” color than pure black. My SA showed me a pure black Swift Jige and Swift with lizard trim (also all black), and I’m glad I passed on those (without knowing I would get Boudreaux in two weeks’ time). The dark deep burgundy of Bordeaux makes it a beautiful evening color... with regards to the SA relationship, maybe yes - worth it to bring it back to your SA and see what colors they have (black might not be available...) and run it by him/her for their opinion. Or you can return it and either pick another item or get store credit until your SA can reserve the black for you!
