Stevie: I love the Bristol too. I've been able to snag 2 at great prices, but only by waiting until the season (for those colors) was over. I got the violet and the ocean blue at the end of last summer for half off. I haven't been able to find any other great deals for shopping by phone. I know the outlets had great prices over the Thanksgiving weekend, but I couldn't get there, and none of the other Bristol colors seem to be shippable at this time.

I'm going to wait until the day after Christmas and start calling again, and then again in January. Hopefully some of the 'fall' colors will be shippable from the outlets by then. Don't know if black, chestnut, natural, and red will ever be shippable, as they are considered core colors (until they discontinue the bag).

Anyway, I'll post if I find a deal.... what color are you looking for?

Hi LJ, and hence my dilemma... I honestly don't know what color I want! I just want this bag, but suffice it to say, I don't want a 'fashion' color. They don't seem to have offered this bag in as wide an array of options as they do some bags. I guess right now I'm leaning toward t'moro, grey or bone...

Love the Bristol but have yet to find one in a color I want at a decent price... Tell me PLEASE, did you find it on sale, and if so where? I'm getting desperate here!

Don't know how it fares price wise out in regular stores, but for two months every year I get an affiliate discount with QVC. So with the clearance price, my discount and easy pay, I got my two right here. A black one and a chestnut one. I seriously love this size bag and the leather is just what I was looking for. I would love something at a better price than this but won't be sending these back in a search for a better deal at this point.

stevie: I'm hunting for the grey Bristol also. Smile I'm thinking the grey and the bone will be on sale after the holidays, and maybe shippable from the outlets. Key word is hoping.

never mind. My medium satchel doesn't seem too big to me when I look inside so I'm guessing the small one will be too small for me.

The small satchel it too small for me, if that's any help.

That does help Smiley Happy Thank you. Now I'm looking at the domed flo but it only comes in crimson and I'm not sure I like that color although it looks more red than the crimson I saw in one of the youtube videos.....
Tough Kitty, I have the crimson in the Florentine tassel satchel and personally I love the color. It is a deeper shade almost like a dark wine, if that makes sense....I love the Florentine, but I haven't made a purchase of anything yet on the 12 Days sale. I would've really liked to have had the Toledo mail satchel, but I wanted it in the apple color which unfortunately wasn't a sale color.

Finding more of the Bristol for cheaper works for me though. The gray was high on my list as well as the Crimson. I will be looking for this one in other places now.

That apple color was delicious, and I'm not one to go for fashion colors.

I like that the Bristol is deeper than the Toledo mail satchel. But I do love both styles. I'm such a fan of satchels. I am a satchel hog. Oink.

The Q appears to be completely out of this bag, which they had on clearance until it appears to have sold out... Given the EP, I was considering purchasing here at the clearance price, which, while not stellar, want bad... Two great bags in very useful colors! I'd hold onto them too!

There was one in crimson just yesterday in as-is. I considered it, but didn't act quickly enough and it sold...
