Celine boogie bag
 

Hi,

I am headed off to the Big Apple from the UK in a couple of weeks and would love to get the Celine boogie bag, looking at the bloomingdales website and others it's cheaper than the UK but still $1100 for a bag??!!

Does anyone have any ideas where I can get my bag for less than the rrp? perhaps an outlet?

Thank you

My daughter's name is Celine, and everywhere I have gone across the USA I have looked for their bags at outlet stores and have never seen one. It is typical to find D&B and Coach in discount stores but I think they keep the Celine name very exclusive by not doing the outlet store route.

Is there any way you can buy online and have it delivered to you in NY while you're there? I have never heard of these bags but I did a quick Google search and found many at discounted prices.

There are indeed seemingly lots of options online for around $650. I don't know any of these sellers though.

Unlikely you'll find this bag discounted at retail unless it's a weird color.

If you should buy it at Bloomingdales, you should be entitled to the 11% discount they offer visitors if you register at customer service before shopping. If it's a popular bag (I'm not so familiar with it) you might also worry that it may not be in stock at holiday time.

That link doesn't want to work. Here's one site with a black one for $619

Thankyou all! some of the websites that offer the discounted price are not authentic, eluxury and styledrop are the 2 known authentic retailers online.

I called the celine outlet at woodbury common and they have it!! probably not a vast array of colours however it is $650 and guaranteed authentic, I will try there but any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

where is woodbury common???

My only thought was "why would you pay that much for a bag?"

emd, woodbury commons

Rizzo,

You sound like my mum! I know it's a rather large amount to pay for a bag, however you are also paying for the craftmanship...I keep telling myself, anyway I earn my money and I love that bag!

My DD lives not too far from Woodbury Commons, and I visited there last summer. One of the things that struck was the number of visitors from outside the US. There were so many. I guess with the weak dollar, a trip to Woodbury Commons would be worth your time. I don't know how you would get there, though.

There are bus trips to Woodury Common...

You can also try Neiman Marcus which carries Celine but I think the NY location in White Plains is about 30 mins from Manhattan. Neiman's is having a huge handbag sale going on right now. They carry Celine and just about every other major handbag designer. Prices get to be around 50% off during and after the holidays. Once you get to NY you can perhpaps phone the the store and see evactly which handbag designers are on sale.

ps, I see Bergdorf Goodman also carries the handbag....

You can also visit that store while in NYC and see what's on sale.

I don't understand why you would waste your holiday by getting on a bus to go to Woodbury Commons to save a paltry $450 on a purse. What a waste of time and energy.

Thanks Travelinwifey for your post, I will call the stores when I get to NY!

No problem Charlene, hope you find what you're looking for. I only wish we could find handbags at a 50% discount with the exchange rate:) The Neiman Marcus sales are amazing, also you may want to look at Saks in NY which also has great sales during and after Christmas. I don't think they carry Celine but plenty of other designers also. Sorry for the rude responses, most americans are not snippy like that with strangers thankfully.

Who is being snippy? Obviously, if you can afford to pay almost $700 for a handbag, you aren't struggling, sweetie. Why pay thousands of dollars to take a holiday then run around trying to find a discounted bag? It is not like Woodbury Commons is on Madison Square Park.

And I am as British as Charlene.

Blimey

Oh, then that makes it better. Your posts have been very helpful. Happy holidays.

Thank you for all your replies not long now!!! Just to clarify not all Britsh people are rude!!!

Happy Christmas all

Charlene-It is your vacation and you can do with it as you wish. Therefore, if you want to go to Woodbury, go there. I've never been and I live in NYC-shame on me! Anyway, from what I hear from my friends there are heaps and heaps of stores, so many that you can't do all of them in one day. But you are coming a long way and things here are less expensive, so it could be worth it to spend a day up there to eventually save hundreds of dollars (Euros). Good luck! It looks like a beatiful and classic handbag, and one that will last a lifetime.

Thank you Abbey43, I really appreciated your post. I will have fabulous time and I am spending it with the best brother a girl could have!

Merry Christmas x

Pardon my stupidity but are we talking screaming Celine Dion here?? Or some other designer type Celine making handbags that cost enough to feed a third world village? What makes a purse worth that much money? It's all too Hollywood for me.

Why is it necessary (travellin I"m talking to you!) to bash what other people want to spend their money on? Why do you care? If someone wants to spend that kind of money on a purse then so be it! Does it take money out of YOUR account? I don't think so, so mind your own business and let poor Charlene have a nice vacation with her nice brother.

My goodness, it never ceases to amazes me how people talk to each other sometimes. Isn't this board supposed to provide helpful opinions and advice, not diss people on how they want to spend their money? Who cares? Does it take money out of your account? Then give it up!

Just my 2 cents (pun intended!). Charlene-have fun girlfriend. And buy that bag with NO GUILT. People who make issue of how you spend your money are just one thing...jealous!!!!

Abby43 to the rescue!!

I believe the title of my post was Celine boogie bag not 'should I spend my money on a bag please judge me'

All of your posts with the exception of a few have been very helpful and I am very grateful.

Have a wonderful Christmas all!

And for the record, I do my part for those less fortunate than me.

Ps, Charlene29 there is a Celine store here in Las Vegas inside the Paris Hotel shopping center. The main telephone number is 877-796-2096 and you can then ask for the tel. number of the Celine boutique which is located in the Le Boulevard shops. They may also be having discounts right now. Most of the upscale shops here in the US will ship a handbag to get the sale.

Thank you so much for the tip Travelinwifey, I appreciate it, I will give them a call!

I don't know if this is real or not but it's only $600+ which is a substantial cut from the original $1100 price. Call them up and see what they say.
