Haha...I am actually pictured, in the first picture! Haha with the taupe oversized Pashli. I was the 3rd person in the sale and FIRST in front of the handbags (was outside in line at 6am)I LEFT EMPTY HANDED, as the Pashli I had in my hand in your picture, was way too oversized and I had my heart set on the medium size. <br /><br />NOT worth the wait. I went to Wang last week and scored the Emile tote that I want, and the Robyn bag, BOTH brand new with wrapping still on them. Pristine condition. <br /><br />This sale was terrible. 4 hours in the cold and walked out EMPTY handed.

People were hoarding the good stuff immediately --- I saw several girls with 5+ bags each. I did see someone trying to purchase a Pashli in smooth black leather with silver hardware and they refused to sell it to her, and said that it should've never been on the floor in the first place. This gives me the impression that they never intended on stocking the classic Pashlis and I saw no minis either, which was super disappointing. They only had very few of the oversized ones in leather. There were no regular 31 hour bags, I only saw a couple of the oversized weekender ones in white. I saw a couple of Larks and other bags in yellow and metallic silver. I grabbed a Lark in brown leather and a Fannie clutch in tan, but decided to take neither. Those were the only decent things I got my hands on and they were snatched up as soon as I put them down. I really feel that they should've controlled the bag situation better. I was super disappointed by this sale. I did leave with a cute pair of green silk pants for $75 though. If you are going for bags, I would say don't bother, especially if you have to wait in line.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784648236095280015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331955872193893361.post-69847295454035733252012-11-15T14:08:02.095-05:002012-11-15T14:08:02.095-05:00I did hear one employee ask another if more stuff ...I did hear one employee ask another if more stuff should be brought out. The reply was "Is such and such still in the back?". Which was quickly answered by "No, they're all out on the floor.". So, fingers crossed for a possibility but I have my doubts.
