I just ordered one too! It's too cute! I love bows. I don't know if I'll use it as a regular day-to-day bag though as it seems a bit large. We'll see. Ü
 
YAY!! I finally got mine! Now I just need to open the package. It came while I was making dinner.

LMAO:D That is too funny! Last night I got the kiddos' dinner ready, then I starved while I looked at my new products;)
I have gotten comments on how cute my ribbon tote is already! And I'm so glad that catalogs fit nicely in there; have given out several catty's since I had them handy!

And you got on Chef Success before opening it?
 
Ann,
Did VIP send you an email that it had shipped?
mine is still showing as charged to my cc on the 15 and shipping info not available!!
 
I ordered mine on the 24th and it is on UPS due to be delivered on Monday!! They sent me an e-mail Thursday.... the day after I ordered it....to give me the tracking #.
 
Theresa, I did get an email on (I think) Tuesday that it had shipped. But it said "Shipped" with no tracking number available on the VIP for about a week prior to that.

If I didn't have sauce on the stove, I would have opened it right away. But I didn't want to burn dinner since I had no spare cream or sauce mix in the house (was making Ikea meatballs and their Swedish gravy - LOVE them!) And then had to eat while everything was still hot, so the excitement dulled a little. (Well, that and I'm still upset about them not shipping it until 2 weeks after I ordered. Gotta go send an upset but polite note to them.)

I had forgotten that my order included a T-shirt with the sparkle logo. I wonder if that's what held up shipment.
 
I finally heard back from the email I got from VIP and this is what they said to me.

Hi Tracy,

Embroidered apparel can take a little longer to ship than pre-printed promotional material or Directors store items for instance. A shirt may be in stock but not decorated until it is ordered.

In the case of your order for a ribbon tote, Orders placed at Leadership were being shipped first. Your order is now in a pick list and should ship out today.

Obviously this is not a correct statement since I did point out to them that other consultants order theirs after me and got them within a couple of days
and that they had also received them before the people who ordered them at leadership. Sounds to me like they really don't have a system when it comes to dealing with orders.

Oh well
Tracy
 
YEAHHHHHHH I finally got my ribbon tote last night!!! I love it, now if I could only figure out how to tie a bow:rolleyes: I also got my Sparkle shirt and long sleeve tile shirt.

I just e-mailed the president of VIP asking abou the chances of getting other color ribbons for our totes. I would love to have a pastel pink one and it would be great for HWC.
 
Can anyone tell me the fabric its made of? It didn't quite look like microfiber like our catty tote (which I like the ability to wipe it off with a cloth). I have read all posts re: size, pockets and such but no material description? Thanks!
 
Yeah, Heather, it's microfiber. Wipes off great!
 
Thanks, then I may have to get one! :)
 
I just may have to get one....I like the fact that you can switch the ribbon to match! Yes, Rae, we'd love to see a pic of you wearing it!

Again, I really don't photograph well. You need all three dimensions to appreciate me. (At least that's what my DH says.)
 
Ok, I just broke down and bought both this one and the red one with the portfolio planner! Now I have 3 purses to switch out all year long!
