the box came from saks fifth avenue. the saks SA named zeyad sent it to me after a fortuitous meeting with THE tote. OMG! another one! hahhaha. it's actually the marc by marc jacobs dr. q tote in BOURDEAUX that i had mentioned earlier. seriously, when i first went to bloomingdales to scope out the scene, the SA there said the bourdeaux tote was out and after checking their bloomingdales' computer system, she even went as far as to say, "there's only ONE left in pennsylvania. they are all sold out elsewhere. we can ship it to you." naw...i firmly believe in fortuitous acquisitions of bags...if the price isn't right or the color isn't there, walk away. so i did.
as my friend and i walked around scp a bit more, we found ourselves stepping into saks. i bee-lined to the marc by marc jacobs section by instinct and a-ha! what do i see?! the marc by marc jacobs dr. q tote in BOURDEAUX!! exactly what i wanted! the battle was half over but i went through my typical "try-to-convince-myself-not-to-buy-another-purse" dialogue with a friend that's not too helpful with convincing me to abandon the tote. that woman is quite the enabler...then zeyad the SA stepped in and said if i'm a saks card holder, i can get it for 30% off with their presale event. although the price was still a lot higher than i wanted, i think purse frenzy took over me again. man...so i asked him a final question...do you have a NEW one in your stockroom? he said he'd check and they did. he walked it ceremoniously out to the cash register with his arms outstretched...seriously. it was hilarious.
*sigh* i bought it. that's the goody in the box. teacher tote no more! my sister expressed interest in inheriting the teacher tote...lucky for her, i have a brand new one.
i like it a lot! the bourdeaux color is HOT!
