Last night DBF walked in with this:
And inside was a 55th Messenger Bag!
He picked it out all by himself and did a pretty good job with placement, don't you think?
The only minor issue is that the back piece is sideways. I think someone else posted a picture of a bag like this.
DBF said they were all like this and he looked at 5 or 6 that they had out.
He had gone to World of Disney first but they only had 1 in a glass case and told him they would bring him one out from the back. But he knew what I wanted on the front so he went to check out Vault 28.
He said he was standing there with 6 bags on his arm looking each one over and the two guys working kept asking him if he needed help. His reply was , "Nope, I'm just looking for perfect placement."
It doesn't really bother me about the back because I like the front so much and no one will see the back anyway but I'm surprised that Disney (or Dooney) allows is considering how expensive the bags are.
After I got over the excitment I realized that he doesn't have an AP and I started thinking that he paid full price. I asked him and he said that he called his cousin who is a CM and had her use her discount (35%) so a $255 plus tax bag only cost him $180 out the door.
Then he starts telling me about the Princess pattern and tells me how much he thinks I would like it and that I should get one like that next.

This coming from a guy who is constantly telling me I have too many purses.

I think I've finally converted him to a Disney lover!
