Ladies and Gents after several brand hopping, online window shopping, some failed attempts (that's another story), internal conflict, forum scouring, I finally jumped the gun and found my first splurge bag. The stingy side of me, originally dropped the idea altogether but after discovering this brand, it was more than happy to give in and indulge me. My wallet is happy, my stingy self is happy and my EQ is happy. I think I ended up reading all entries from the purse forum just to get to know the brand some more.
I exchanged emails with the SA, Louise, who was very helpful with all my questions as well as including some pictures as I requested. Since I have already done my research though, I have my eyes and heart leaning towards a certain direction already. (SO to all the lads and ladies for posting about this brand.). It was the color that I was ultimately undecided on but most weren't available except for the walnut brown. As much as I wanted the other colors than this, putting me on the waitlist would be a bad idea as I knew it might end up in smoke if I don't buy it now. She did tempt me with a few other extras but I stuck with my goal and budget. Besides, I wanted to first give it a try to see if it looks nice in person. Exactly, a week later from my first email, I found a box on my doorstep. In it were two envelopes, one with the receipt and the other was a handwritten note from the SA with some other details about the product and the brand, Faure Le Page. Of course, the shopping bag, dust bag came with the bag as well. Now, the bag, I... LOVE... IT!!! It's the right size and color, not to mention it's so my taste!! It's versatile and practical enough that I think I can use it many ways, not to mention I can stuff more than just the bare essentials in there (I tend to carry more than the usual most days.).
As much as I'd like to gush on it some more, I'd have to savor, I mean save it for another day. I hope I'd get the chance to post something like what's in my bag for this one. It's one of those I found difficult to find in my online research.
Also, I am on the lookout of what the total damages will end up being including taxes. The bigger problem though is I might like their totes, pouches and wallets too. uh-oh...
