Have you seen today's reveal?

What do you think?

It's cute but I was hoping for a diaper bag. I love the purse, but $160 is too much for something I rotate so often on.

PS: My Coach bag wasn't even that much!

I think it's gorgeous!!!! I love it. It's totally on my must have list....Momof2Boys, what do you think?

ROFL! I have a couple of Coach bags and they weren't that much either!

I was sooo looking forward to seeing the FBA that I was disappointed in today's reveal. I know, I know...it's a beautiful bag. Love everything about it and the fact that it's washable. But....the one thing I hate is FAKE leather. Regardless of the features, I cannot justify spending $160 on a bag that is not real leather. This is just me though. Ok I'm gonna go hide now

me too. I had posted on FB about needing a diaper bag bigger than the tween but better organized than the all. she said wait til the end of the month, it might be just what I was looking for....how is a purse just what I was looking for? I already have a nice Vera Bradley purse, I wanted a JJB diaper bag. I will not be getting today's reveal, and unfortunatly will not likely be able to hold out for the FBA. I need a great bag that I can obtain now. I think spreading the reveals out this long means they're forcing people to wait so long they'll go elsewhere because we'll never know for sure if the FBA is actually gonna happen, and by the time it's revealed (we're talking could be in summer shipment, who know's) 6 months have passed and our bag needs have changed and we've spent our money elsewhere. I know a lot of ppl wanted a purse, but to me purse needs will always be there, those w/ young babies only have the need for a great diaper bag for so long. How do you tell your hubby that you want to spend $ on this great diaper bag that just came out and you've been waiting sooo long, it's the answer to your prayers but your baby is now 1 and you don't have too much longer of carrying a diaper bag? Wow, sry, it got longer than I expected.

Very good points, Jenny. I could be wrong, but I think there is another reveal next week, perhaps that was what she meant in reply to your FB post?
I think there are so many new diaper bags popping out, and as their die hard fans' babies grow up, they are needing something to keep them buying JJB, hence the purse. But, yes they are keeping us waiting and in suspense, I guess it's meant to be part of the fun, but if you are in dire need of a bag NOW, def'n more frustrating then fun.

You're right, it's frusterating. On the FB comment, she told me to watch for the reveal at the end of Feb, this will be the last reveal in Feb. What about the new fans that haven't gotten the chance to really fall in love w/ JJB? It would be discouraging to hold out so long and they might not give it a second chance (or in my case a 4th ). I guess reveals would be more fun if there was something for everyone in a reveal day. Waiting a month to see all the reveals only for none of it to fit your needs may turn a lot of newbies away. I've loved JJB since I got my Prpl PB, but my needs have changed and I have to accomodate them accordingly. I'm trying a tween and spicey though, I hope one works for me while I wait for "Ms. Be Perfect"

I don't "NEED* the FBA but I need it more than I need the purse. I'm glad for the other PLs who have been waiting for a mommy bag but it's not for me. I just got an All to satisfy my bag craving for now but I know when they release the FBA, I definitely won't be able to resist if it's everything I hope for. I hope they do release it at the end of Feb.

At the end of today's blog, it says to look forward to more reveals of the Legacy collection next week so definitely no FBA next week. I'm guessing the week after.

I totally hear you and agree with you Jenny! The wait can be frustrating but I sure hope that you stick around

PS. I think there are good things and bad things to doing the reveals the way they do. It's brilliant, and fun, unless you are dying for a certain style of a bag and just don't have the luxury of waiting. One big reveal would be crazy exciting...but this way is fun too...Hopefully the ladies waiting for the FBA get their fix soon. I was super excited by today's reveal b/c I was just thinking the other day how much I needed a JJB purse...Seriously, can you imagine the organization..And then today, there it was! I wish the brown and the DZ were paired though....all though they prolly wouldn't go together as well, or else that's how it would have been done.

the purse really is gorgeous! I love that they did it in DZ. I don't think I've ever been that organized! Would be nice because organization for me isn't optional, it's a must

Sooo true..

It is gorgeous and organized but not enough for me to pay $160 for it

totally agree on the cost

It's surprising though that some think it's reasonable or even....a good deal. Oh well.....I guess to each his own. Or I should say...her own

yeah, I know right?! I mean, how big is it? The BP is huge and only $20 more than the BH!

Exactly! I rather get the BP which I have two of

so after checking out Katie's pics, I think I want one just as a purse (loved all the organization)....BUT I won't be pre-ordering. I'll wait until a coupon code comes out or when I can use my promo discounts I got for pre-ordering the DZ stuff.

Getting what? A Behave? Oh *gsp*! Not you too! I'm just joking. Hey if you use a coupon code or your promo discounts, then it won't be so bad

I'm still on the fence, but I wouldn't mind it. I can want one forever and a day but I'm not spending my last dollar on it nor will I "save up" for it. If I come across a good deal, I'd take it. Did you see the pics? A major drawback: the longer strap can snap underneath the bag to keep it out of the way but who want to have a strap stored on the bottom...yuck!

I just saw the pics and I maintain my original stance. I love the style, design and organization but the fake leather factor is a major hurdle I have to overcome in order for me to get it. Yes, this new "Earth" leather is washable and animal friendly but it boils down to this....fake leather. I'm very careful with my purses and I've never had any accidents with them so I need it to be washable. It's a nice feature to have but not a necessary one for me. I'm not particularly crazy about the strap stored at the bottom but I could get over it. Put it this way....if I found a good deal on FSOT for say.....half the price, I might get it You should go for it though if you really like it
