Snagged this guy from Bloomingdales for 55% off! Any recommendations for products to protect the leather? It’s my first chalk bag
That is so cute in white! I used to be afraid of white, but now I apply a very thin coat of Blackrock Leather N Rich conditioner. It leaves a thin waxy coat so you can wipe the bag off and reapply as needed. It works great on the smooth leather. The key is to warm a tiny bit on your fingers and apply a light coat in a small area at a time. Buff with a paper towel right away to remove the excess. You don't want too much, and it's easier to add more later. The first time I tried it, I didn't buff off the excess right away, and I had to wipe it off with a damp cloth and redo it. After applying a coat and buffing with a paper towel, leave it for 24 hours and you can buff again (with a lint free cloth or a brush) if needed. I haven't tried a leather protector because this works so well for me, but hopefully someone else will explain those or you can ask in the Rehab & Rescue thread. Enjoy your new beauty!

I agree with @tealocean on the Blackrocks. I also use Colonil spray on my white bags to prevent color transfer.

Thanks guys!
 
Coach needs to all be on the same page. Either they do them or they don't! To us it is Coach and not this outlet or that outlet. It should be one company and customer service same to all.

It seems to vary by the individual employees in the outlet even. I was able to do a found order approximately 3 weeks ago, and was able to order 2 Rogues at 70% off (this was my first time doing a found order, and I was absolutely thrilled at how easy it was, and thought I had hit the jackpot!). One of the bags came up at 70% off and the other had to be manually adjusted for the discount, but the employee did not seem to have any difficulty or concern with doing that.

I went in last week to the same outlet and while this employee was friendly and willing to do a found order, everything was coming up at full retail price even though the 70% off sale was still going on. She did not offer to make the manual price adjustment (and I didn’t want to be pushy and ask) so I just told her I would pass on them for now. She did say those bags hadn’t been “released to the outlet yet”, even though they were Rogues and a Dreamer tote from several seasons ago (and at least two of them had come up at 70% off during my previous visit).

So yeah, my checking account is absolutely thrilled those bags weren’t on sale this time, but I’m really kicking myself for being a responsible consumer and not ordering everything that was on my list the first time I placed a found order...
