Simple yet distinctive, and a pretty color. Hope the persistence really pays off and it shows up!

I think the fact that you are so particular about purses and kept going back to this one means that it was meant to be for you. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purse-madness-long#post-1787692 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 22:00:16 +0000 Emily K 1787692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: &nbsp;Update: &nbsp;I received the bag and the hardware that looked antiqued and matte in the photos is SOOOO shiny and sooo brassy IRL. (Other product photos clearly show brassy hardware, too.) &nbsp;I've had the bag for a couple of days trying to get my eyes used to the hardware, but it is not happening. &nbsp;I think the bag has to go back to Nordy's. &nbsp;:-(</p> <p>I've been shopping for a purse. &nbsp;And I am super, super picky about purses. &nbsp;Much poison eye, I am afraid. &nbsp;Everything is too little, too big, over-branded, with too many parts, too much detail, too pebbled, too shiny, too "lady", too boho, too "mom's handbag". &nbsp;You get the idea, I am sure. &nbsp;</p> <p>Well, a couple of days ago, I found a purse that spoke to me. &nbsp;I'd been shopping Nordstrom on-line on a daily basis, skimming through the newest products, and there it was. &nbsp;But I couldn't quite pull the trigger because it was a little more costly than I would have liked...and the hardware is aged brass instead of aged silver. &nbsp;So I dithered for a couple of days. &nbsp;Then I made the decision to buy and I clicked the "add to cart" button and...nothing happened. &nbsp;So eventually I refreshed the screen...and the bag was no longer there. &nbsp;The other two colors were there, but not the bag I wanted. &nbsp;I was so distraught and called customer service and found that it had just sold out--while I was in the act of trying to purchase it!!!! &nbsp;Nordstrom was unable to put me on a waitlist or to wish-list it for me because the listing was inactive. &nbsp;I emailed the manufacturer to see if more stock was available (there was none) &nbsp;and I put myself on a waitlist with the manufacturer in case more product came in. &nbsp;</p> <p>Flash forward to today and I idly click on the "Finds" link and it takes me to an active listing for the same purse! &nbsp;So I bought it in, like, two seconds. &nbsp;No messing around this time. &nbsp;And then I went back to the link AGAIN (because I am kind of obsessive like that) and it is back to being out-of-stock. &nbsp;So, I am just really, really, super happy that I checked back in and grabbed the purse while I had the chance. &nbsp;Now, I just hope it lives up to the hype &nbsp;So much shopping angst--now I remember why I don't do it so often. &nbsp;Sheesh.</p>
