Danier: Oh Happy Day!

January 26, 2012 By Lena

Don’t even think of looking at these pictures if you haven’t read my “Danier: Good Things Come to Those Who Wait” post. It is necessary to completely understand my yearning before you can fully appreciate my jubilation.

Et voila! I received a most anticipated phone call this afternoon: my Danier coat was in! Price tag: a cool $249, down from $699 (that’s a savings of $450, or 65% off! #squee). I couldn’t wait to try it on and persuaded Melissa, the very lovely Danier associate at Erin Mills Town Centre, to take a few quick pics.

Apologies in advance for the lack of makeup (shopping on a Wednesday night), UGGs (again, shopping on a Wednesday night) and RoboCop pose (I was trying to highlight the detailing on the arms).

Verdict: Best purchase of 2012. Maybe ever.

Oodles of thanks to Beata and her entire team at Erin Mills Danier – especially Melissa. Not only did she handle my frantic request for a transfer with professionalism and grace, but when I arrived at the store – even though her shift was over – Melissa stayed to help me try on the coat, chat with me about how awesome it is (this alone took about 17 minutes) and complete the sale. LOVE LOVE LOVE my new winter coat!

    Absolutely. It is totally worth the regular price, but so much more enjoyable at the sale price!

    I love how you walk into Danier and buy a non-leather jacket. Of course, that is the most gorgeous non-leather jacket I’ve ever seen!

    • Lena

      January 27, 2012 at 6:57 pm

      Isn’t it? It was love at first sight.

      Aw, thank you Tricha! I am SO in love with it too :)

    I love Danier and they’ve got beautiful coats but I love their purses and wallets more. The one design they have for their wallet has enough room for a lot of cards which is necessary for all of my point collection cards.
