Is the New Ribbon Tote at Merrill Worth the Hype?

[chefann]

The ribbon tote is back at Merrill. The new version has the logo printed in white on the side of the bag, and comes with a polka dot ribbon and your choice of natural/lavender/sage or blue/silver/gold ribbons.

Thanks - I will peek but I'm pretty sure I used my monthly budget on spring samples already!!!! Too early in the month to try and reallocate other funds. But I can browse for next month!

P.S. Ann's link won't work, you'll have to log into CC first and then access the store from there.

Ohh Man! It's soo cute! I want the New one! I wish they kept it the same so I woulndn't be tempted to buy this one!LOL Love the polka dots ribbon! Mybe my old one will suddenly rip and then I can justify buying this one! Heehee

Sorry to hijack but I have a question. Several of you have mentioned wearing PC buttons on your clothing. Where are you getting them? I've looked on Merrill and there's nothing like that. TIA

 

[chefann]

There used to be some available through the Director store, but not any more.

Mine are from Nancy's when she had them - they are square. I may have 1-2 extra if someone really wants one.

 

[RebelChef]

Ok, thanks.

I really wish PC would get more than one vendor. Merrill has some nice things but they're kind of overpriced and there's not that big a selection. Especially on stickers and things like that. They're just boring, I think. Not at all creative.

Did anyone notice the personalized pens on there now? Whew, I'll stick to my cheapies!

 

[pamperedlinda]

Marisa - have you been to Sticking to Business or The Booster for stickers? They've got great ones! (Sticking to business is my fave!)

I like this one better, but I have the other one and I just don't want to spend the money yet. The polka dots are so cute!

I love the tote but a little disappointed. I emailed Merrill to ask if there was any pockets or any closer on the bag (like the catalog tote). They said no. I take it that it's basically a bucket tote. I really want to get one but don't know what I would do with it without any other pockets or anything.

Thanks, Linda! I haven't but I'll check them out now.

No pockets on the inside either? I hope the quality is as good as VIPs so when Mine does finally wear out I can get this new one!:love:

I really like the Ribbon Tote I have. Not a fan of the new one.

No extra pockets, just like a bucket bag with handles. I was going to get it but now I'm not for sure!
