Next to losing weight, getting organized is one of the most popular New Year's resolutions made by thousands (maybe even millions) of people each year. This is how I happened to find out about the Butler Bag a little more than a year ago, when I made it my goal to become more organized. Getting to whatever I need in my purse has been a snap ever since switching to a Butler Bag. Unfortunately this year, after packing on a few extra pounds I'm back to that first resolution.
Well for those of you who have made self organization your goal this year, you may want to check out the Butler Bag. There are two specials going on right now – the first one is buy one Butler Bag, get one Butler Bangle free! The Butler Bangle is a jewelry organizer that travels well, keeping your jewelry organized, protected from damage and tangle free. If you buy two Butler Bags, you can get either one Butler Bangle free, plus free shipping, or one Small Tote free, plus free shipping. Remember to specify the color you want in the Butler Bangle or Tote in the comments section of the order.
The other deal going on for the next 36 hours is buy two Butler Bags, get one free (of equal or lesser value), plus free shipping. A great way to get in on this deal is to go in with friends or co-workers and split the price – save money and get free shipping!
The Butler Bag Sample Sale site also has a few bags left too, if you feel like getting one for even less.
For research purposes (*clears throat*), I ordered a butler bag from the Butler Bag Sample Sale Site last week. Ok, I have really, really wanted one for a while now, and decided to treat myself since they are being sold at such a discount!
Less than one week later, the bag I ordered arrived – the Classic style (smaller than Hybrid), in the coffee color, with the handy dust protector cloth bag. After careful inspection, I could find nothing that would reveal that it was a "sample" bag, aside from the word "sample" stamped inside the zippered interior pocket. ——-see picture——>
There is a disclaimer on the Butler Bag sample sale site that says these sample bags could have imperfections ranging from inconsistancy in color or leather grain, to small scratches – none of which were apparent on the bag I received – it looked perfect to me!!
The leather is soft to the touch and the stitching is a nice touch all around. The cloth covered interior is very nice, because it allows me to place my touch screen phone and ipod touch in their own little section so that I don't have to worry about them being scratched by my keys, pens, coins, or other sharp things normally found floating around in my purse.
I quickly proceeded to dump the contents of my "everyday purse" on the counter and filled my new Butler Bag. Believe it or not, I have room to spare! I cannot remember ever having an organized purse! It always started out organized, but within a few days of running around - tossing it in the car, having it fall from the car seat to the floor, throwing things inside of it, etc. – organization was the last thing you would see when looking inside my purse! I am so happy with this bag, that I am going to order the larger Hybrid bag for my "work bag" since it can hold my travel laptop and other necessities to get me through a typical work week. I can rationalize this purchase as a work expense (hehehe!) – besides, it's on sale too!
Here are some pictures of my bag. (Oh, the black thing you see in the first picture is the polishing cloth for my ipod.) Yes, the pics are a little small, but if you click on them you will see a larger version.
Do you have Butler Bag before & after pictures to share?
We would be happy to post them! Just email your pics/story to pictures<at>organizedhandbags.com
(replace the <at> with @ — sorry, I had to do that to avoid auto-spammers)
(As stated above, I purchased this bag myself and the opinions I share are my own. If you click on a product link and purchase a bag, I may receive a small commission. Click here for the new Disclosure Policy.)
If you are a bargain hunter, then this is your chance to order the most organized handbag on the planet at rock-bottom prices!! Why in the world would you buy a Butler Bag on ebay, at inflated prices, plus astronomical shipping fees, when you can get them starting at 40% off and up, plus free shipping if you order just 2 bags??? Check out the link below to see for yourself!
Seriously, I just checked ebay and there are people bidding on the exact same bags and the prices are currently $20 over the actual sales price (or more), plus shipping charges of $15 for bags that are still available on the Butler Bag Sample Sale Site! If you are bidding on Butler Bags advertised on eay, then read the description – if they refer to bags that have an interior pocket stamped with "sample" or to the condition as new but slightly imperfect, they are probably the same bags you can get direct from the manufacturer for less.
Even though they are "sample" bags, you would never know – at least I couldn't tell from the bag I ordered at a fraction of the regular price! These bags are being sold as samples, because there is the chance that they may have a slight imperfection in the grain of the leather, inconsistent color, or a small scratch. I could see none of that in my bag. This is the perfect opportunity (or excuse) to treat yourself!
