It arrived!
My purse arrived yesterday, right on schedule, from Hong Kong! My worries, it turns out, were just that...worries.
Brand new, with tags still on, and enclosed in that silky smooth chocolate-brown Coach cover, it might not have been just like picking it up in the store, touching it, and then carrying it home with me...but it was sure close!
The first thing I did was check out the serial number to make sure I had "the real thing." Breathing a huge sigh of relief that it was all legit, I promptly registered The Bag in my name through Coach.
It's mine!
As much as I love this purse, and as excited as I am to begin carrying it, I have to say that I love even more the involvement you have all taken in this purchase with me. It will always be special to me, not only because I wanted it so badly and truly thought out the purchase, but because forevermore when I look at the purse, I'll not only see the Coach Signature Tote in blue that I so wanted, but I'll see reminders of the great friendships that I have in my life.
So thank you to all of you who sent emails or left comments during this process. You gave me lots of food for thought and a lot of just good 'ol fashioned encouragment! And to you who actually made the trip to a Coach store for me...I'm speechless. Truly, that means more to me than the purse ever will. I think I owe you...

Yeah! I am so glad you got your bag! And with no problems! I had no idea you could register your bag! So have you filled it yet? Does all your stuff fit in it? Now you have to take a picture of you using it. Im so excited for you.

IS there a wallet...? That's definitely something I'm sure I'll consider eventually. Right now, maybe I'd better tame my "inner diva" and just be happy with The Bag!
