Hi all! I was reading some older threads and noticed that the Kelly Elan was discontinued along with a long list of others. I was wondering :idea: if bags are discontinued because of low sales or are there other reasons for why production of these bags has stopped. I thought it would be interesting to find out from the experts! Thank You:shrugs:

They're never really discontinued, all bags can be ordered, depending on what sort of relationship you have with your store.
I believe the Kelly Elan was discontinued to make room for the JPG Kelly Clutch.
 
GrandFonds, Elizabethk, Mudmud. Thanks for the information.
Nola I love that about H as well.
I wonder just how "special" does your relationship with H have to be...:wondering:wondering:wondering
 
^ good enough to be offered a SO. BTW if you choose an unusual bag like the kelly elan as a SO the store will probably like you more (and offer you more orders in the future) than the one whom is just there to get a birkin.

I personally love the elan so much more than the JPG, but neither one is bad.
 
Mmm I love the Kelly Elan. It's a totally different bag to the JPG Kelly, so to me it doesn't duplicate anything.

I don't know why they haven't discontinued the Colorado yet--or have they? I have never seen anyone carrying one. Ever.
 
Cynyc, I know I have seen a picture of the Colorado :yucky: sorry to offend anyone who likes them...I wonder if they are discontinued. I saw one for sale at Bluefly a couple months ago.
