The Crazy Insane Purse Thread! (same thread, different title) ;)

[Shetlander]

I do think you'll need to condition the Sutters.  I use the same conditioner that I use on my Oberon covers....Cadillac.  I used it on a small turquoise Sutter I bought yesterday ($46 OTD at Macys...I may be selling it if I decide that I don't really need the same color in both sizes). It had a few minor scuff marks. The bag just drank in the conditioner and the scuff marks are now gone.  

Where do you get Cadillac?  In a store or on-line?

I got mine from Oberon Designs.

[Skydog]

If anyone buys it, please let us know.

I use Apple Brand leather conditioner that I got from a local leather store. I've been using it on my Oberons for about a year or so now. I think it's about the same consistency as the Cadillac stuff. (You can also get it at Burlington Coat Factory)

An abundance of riches.....I now have two large Turquoise Sutters.  I noticed that Skydog had posted a sighting in this thread:

I knew that some KB members were looking for a discounted large Turquoise Sutter.  So, I called, had them hold the bag and then swung by after work and picked it up.  I then came home to find a package on my porch from luvmy4brats containing another large Turquoise Sutter she had purchased for me.  I did not open the box.  I will slap a new label on the package and ship it out tomorrow if anyone is interested in purchasing the extra purse.  The purse was $88 with tax.  Shipping to neighboring states is about $6 and across country is approximately $10. Averaging that, I would say $96 shipped preferably paid by Amazon GC.  Sold!

[Cammie]

Ty Skydog.    I called them, placed the bag on hold and picked it up on the way home from work.  I already had one on it's way from luvmy4brats but I thought that someone might want the extra one on this board since the large turquoise Sutter bag is so hard to find at a discounted price.

Send DD a PM. I know she wants one.

Hi Cammie,

That's great!  I know there are a few people who are still looking for the turquoise.  BTW, a salesperson can check the computer for availability in a particular color and give a printed list with location and phone numbers. 

[Luvmy4brats]

Since Cammie picked it up, I'm just going to go ahead and merge this with the main thread on this bag. (I left it out so someone could see it)

I really love the look of this bag!!  I searched online to see if I could find it in Australia. So far, I’ve found FossilAustralia which has it for $149.00  with free postage  ( that’s about  $135 USD)   I’m very tempted by the medium blue.

Those of you have it, do you think it would be a good bag to use while travelling?  I’m planning a trip to Europe next April and have been on the lookout for a comfy bag that I can wear across my body.

[linda~lou]

You guys, there's some pretty good deals on Sutters on eBay. Do a search for Fossil Sutter. There are a lot of BINs in turquoise and green.

Reading that Ross, Marshalls and TJ Maxx had the Sutter Lg Zip tote on sale elsewhere, I looked at my local stores.   Zilch anywhere except full price at Macy's and only in the neutral colors (camel, espresso and black).  Bummer!

So, I'm nearing the full price breaking point or the ebay buying point.

And I have yet to see the sutter satchel, which I would like to see in person before I fork out full price online.  

Anyone in the Denver area see these bags for sale anywhere?  I have a theory that it takes a while for the latest trends to percolate into the Rocky Mountain West aka Hicksville. For example, I hadn't heard about silly bandz until we went to visit grandfolk in Florida.  Now they're all the rage here too, weeks later.  So I'm thinking maybe the sales are behind as well???  Only I did not see any of the coveted tourquoise (or sky blue or green or yellow or red or paprika) here in our Macy's.   Just the basic colors and all at full price!

Oooh, that is $50 cheaper than when this thread first started - they were $199 last week......I ended up getting purple off US ebay.com and it arrived yesterday - paid $110AUD all up inc Courier postage.  It has a Macy's label stuck on it, my first ever Macy tag!  now over to fossil.com.au.....

[Magellan]

Pushka,

The smaller Sutter at Fossil Aust is $149, the larger one is still $199.
I just checked.

Yep.  I see.  US Ebay.com is definately the way to go then.  Small looks mighty perty though.

I purchased a large red leather Sutter on eBay 2 days ago.  They had quite a number of them at the site.  Many were the small variety but there was a decent selection of the larger model.  I bought one as a "BUY NOW" item for $115 NWT.  It beats $138 and I got my favorite color - red.  I was debating about bidding on some of the other bags but when I saw the red one, I was a goner!  Can't wait to get it.  When I first saw the ads for the new Kindle, my first thought was "Gotta have that bag!"  So thanks to a KB fashionista for providing the info. 

[mlewis78]

$138 is the list price for the large sutter bag.

[Cammie]

Grr...I started to load up the new purse tonight...I hate when the salesperson forgets to remove the security tag from the bag...didn't ring when I walked out of the store..will probably set off alarms when I walk back in to get the tag removed. 

[DD]

Send DD a PM. I know she wants one.

I went to bed too early last night and missed all this and Cammie's PM.  Thanks so much for thinking of me, Heather.  You're a sweetheart. 

[Supers]

I keep coming back to this thread.
Have resisted so far, but I really want one....
Ebay doesn't seem to have many left.

[Cammie]

I noticed there were subtle differences in color between my small and large turquoise Sutters.  Both have been treated with leather conditioner that did not alter their colors.  I think the small is a green turquoise and the large is a teal turquoise.  The color of the large one looks like the color of the purse in the ad.  Both colors are pretty.  Here's a picture:



I think the color difference justifies keeping both.    Seriously though, I have a black small Sutter on the way from Nordstroms.  I will use it occasionally but a need a bigger purse most of the time.  If anyone is interested in the small turquoise Sutter, please let me know.  It was $46.  So, $50 with shipping. It's gone.

[hudsonam]

Cammie, and you have the sky blue one coming!

If anyone wants to sell a large turquoise, please, PLEASE consider me. It's gorgeous!

Yes, I'm a purse addict, lol.

My orange Sutter and little Carla Mancini clutch arrived yesterday and both are wonderful. The orange is a lovely pumpkin orange and the clutch is perfect for when you don't have to carry everything including the kitchen sink.

Before reading about Cammie using Cadillac lotion (which I have) on her bag I had contacted CS at Fossil and asked for a recommendation for a conditioner. I also referenced this thread in my email. I was surprised to see their headquarters are in Richardson, TX, right in my back yard.

How frustrating, I can't find the turquoise one in the UK 
I might get the expresso (dark brown) but would that clash with my black coat? Or is it just not worth the cost if it's not in turquoise (my favorite color)?
I'm so indecisive.
