Seven Reasons to Go Chelsea This Season:
1. Normally, we can’t afford anything in Hermes Orange…today is our lucky day!
2. Rare is the purse that no matter what color, it improves the carrier!
3. Our Community Manager Jenny is over the moon about her orange Chelsea tote and swears it is the best bag she’s had in years!
4. After going through Elle, Vogue, Glamour, and W, sometimes we fall into a week of a depression due to the litany of items we cannot afford…this tote showing up at our office took all our depression away!
5. Seriously, this bag contains one of the most expertly designed exterior pockets ever – you’ll never lose your keys or phone again!
6. It is hard to find a bag that takes the trends into account, remains timeless, and is at a price that doesn’t make your wallet shed a tear.
7. We may never look like Kate Moss or Sienna Miller, but we all can have this bag that takes the best from their sartorial genius without all the tabloid drama!

I felt a little guilty buying this when I’m supposed to be holiday shopping for my loved ones….but the feeling soon passed!
November 6th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
I would love it if you guys could show pictures of the interiors of the bags/purses you have.
November 6th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
I also would love if you could always show the interior of a bag/purse. It’s so crucial for the purchase! This bag looks great, but I want to see the roominess as well as how the interior pockets are laid out. Thanks!
November 7th, 2008 at 9:19 am
I would also like to see pictures of the bag’s interior. Always looking for Vegan bags!
November 7th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Oh, no! The orange and black are already sold out. Any chance you’ll be getting more?
November 7th, 2008 at 10:31 am
the inside isnt that big of a deal ladies - I got one before they sold out, and I am so happy!
November 11th, 2008 at 6:21 pm
I agree with the above posts. I think the inside IS important! I got mine today and not only do I LOVE the color (looks just like a pumpkin), it is roomy, roomy, roomy! I would suggest getting one if they come back!!!
November 14th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Please bring these bags back for sale before Christmas!!!
November 18th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Thanks, Dooce for letting us know about this bag and THANK YOU DELIGHT for bringing them back!! You know, this bag is the same shape, roughly, as the Gerard Darel midday midnight bag I have been coveting for so long, but couldn’t bring myself to spend the $800+ on! I am really excited about getting it, just ordered it in orange. I’ll be writing about it today.
November 18th, 2008 at 6:34 pm

November 18th, 2008 at 8:54 pm

November 19th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Ladies - we just added BURGUNDY. We’re working with the vendor to get every last bag we can, but they’re going fast and they’re only in limited quantities. Grab BLACK, GREY or BURGUNDY while you can!
November 19th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Need Orange - Please please please!!!
November 19th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
can we get a better shot of the burgundy?
(i still really want the orange!)
November 20th, 2008 at 10:11 am

i have been in search of a CUTE orange bag that doesn’t cost a fortune for 2 years and this is it! yikes! please bring it back!!
November 20th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Please more orange! Yes please!
November 21st, 2008 at 9:53 am
Shoot, I was out of town when you brought the bag back in stock. Please keep us updated if you get anymore!!
November 21st, 2008 at 10:00 am
I didn’t realize that it now came in Burgundy. Please bring these gorgeous bags back! Thanks!
November 21st, 2008 at 11:57 am
NOOOOO! I can’t believe that I missed these bags for the second time! Please bring back orange and burgundy.
November 21st, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Ladies!
Good News: We’ve been able to secure more BLACK, GREY and BURGUNDY bags!! Go get em!
Bad News: There are no more orange bags left. We’re waiting to hear if we can place a special order, but that would mean it would be over a month or more until they arrive. I’ll keep you posted.
You can also follow me on Twitter where I give out a LOT more updates about stock, what’s selling, and what’s about to sell out http://twitter.com/Delight_com
MUWAH!!
November 21st, 2008 at 1:42 pm
THANK YOU Tracey! I didn’t really know what Twitter was all about until I clicked on the link in your faves section. Wow, very cool! And thank you for bringing back these bags - they are fabulous!! =)
November 22nd, 2008 at 11:01 am
REALLLLLLLY want the Chelsea tote in ORANGE. PLEASE.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:14 am
i will HAPPILY wait a month or two for that orange bag!
November 24th, 2008 at 11:59 am
If I have to wait a month for the orange bag, then I will. I want it so bad!
November 24th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Ditto… I bought the burgundy but what I really want is the orange… I’d be happy to backorder it, if that became an option
November 25th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
Just adding my voice to the swelling chorus of people who would most contentedly wait for this bag in orange.
November 26th, 2008 at 6:51 am
Yes, I would also wait for an orange bag.
November 29th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
I have missed these bags both times they have been in stock… but I will happily continue to wait if more are coming in stock
November 30th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Please bring this bag back! I showed it to my sister and she bought it before I could!!! I love it, and need one for myself!
December 1st, 2008 at 7:37 am
Any chance you’ll bring these back one more time? I’d be happy for one in any color.
December 3rd, 2008 at 10:17 am
PSST - hey guys - if you’re reading this, we are adding a FEW more bags up today, 12/3 - keep refreshing the page so you can snag one, or make sure you’re signed up for our daily newsletter, as we’ll be sending that out to notify everyone. And there are more ORANGE!!!
December 3rd, 2008 at 11:35 am
I am so excited - somehow I managed to get the bag ordered before they were out, and it should arrive today or tomorrow. I have been anxiously awaiting it! When it comes I’ll comment here and write a longer post at my blog too. It is coming in ORANGE!!!
December 3rd, 2008 at 1:03 pm
I’m all about ORANGE! Tell me, do you have to unbuckle or unsnap to get inside of bag. I can’t tell if the buckle crosses over top or is on 1 side. Need better pics! I’ll order if someone can answer. Thanks!
December 3rd, 2008 at 4:51 pm
This fabulous bag is much nicer than I thought it would be. The outer fabric is soft but firm enough to hold a scrunchy shape. The bag is lined inside with beige fabric with brown polka dots. The inner zipper pocket is kind of small, but it’s okay. The buckles are each a flap and held down to it’s part of the bag with a magnet-closure. The smaller outer pocket is okay but if you live/work in a pickpocketing neighborhood keep the valuables in the larger section and keep pens and other non-valuables in the smaller pocket.
December 3rd, 2008 at 5:12 pm
Joni,
The buckle goes over the top and has a magnetic snap shut on the side (under the buckle). There are actually two buckles. One to get into the top and one to get into the side pocket.
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Thank you delight. I ordered an orange bag tonight!
December 3rd, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Already out of the orange…
*sniff*
December 4th, 2008 at 7:40 am
I would love to get an orange and gray bag!!! Please bring more back!!!
December 4th, 2008 at 7:50 am
Can I get on a mailing list to find out when the bags are back in stock? I just tried to order and orange one and it was gone again. Thanks!
December 4th, 2008 at 10:06 am
I just posted about the Chelsea Buckle Tote in orange - I ordered on Nov. 18 and it got here yesterday, and I am so pleased with it.
Check it out, complete with pictures of the bag and what I can fit into it.

Thank you, Delight!
December 5th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
I received my bag yesterday. Burgundy, and it’s BEAUTIFUL! It’s much much bigger than I thought it would be and soooo unbelieveably soft. I love it. Now if only I could find more things to put in it!
December 5th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
I can’t believe I missed these again. Please can you get some more in?
December 5th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Not to spoil the mood, but I think this is the last time we’ll get to order this bag.=( I checked with customer service last time when I decided to get both the black and burgundy after I initially got the gray one, and she said it was the last round after so many times. Boohoo!! But I do hope that by some miracle they will offer this bag FOREVER so that everyone can enjoy it! Hint, hint, wink, wink! Hey let’s start a facebook group to make that happen! Either the “We Love Chelsea Handbag” group or the “We LOVE buying handbags from Delight.com” group! Yay! =)
December 8th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
I ordered this bag first in gray because it was the only one available and then black became available so I ordered it too. I did send the gray one back but I’m madly in love with the black one. I get so many comments on it and it feels great on my arm, the perfect size for a reformed carrier of small suitcases!
December 10th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
I got my orange bag last week. I know there are 2 orange bags here in Salt Lake. I saw Heather’s when she posted a pic of hers on her blog, dooce.com and went immediately to order one. I’ve been carrying it for a week, everyone comments on it, and I’m giving Delight.com rave reviews. (oops..that may be the wrong thing to do…too many people shopping here means we may not get all the items we want when we want.)
December 10th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
DAMN! AND YEAH!
I didn’t score an orange one, but I got a black! Thanks for bringing this great bag back!!
December 10th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Oh I hope they stay in stock too!!! I asked for one for Christmas, and if I don’t get one, I’m coming back to get one for myself - crossing my fingers that they’ll still be here! Pretty please!
December 10th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
My orange arrived. It is awesome. That is all.
December 10th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
The ladies at Delight.com are sheer genius miracle workers! Wow! I received both the black and burgundy today and omg, so soft and so beautiful! Which one should I use first? =)
December 11th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Arrrrgh!! Just found Delight.com–didn’t know about these great bags until it was too late to order an orange one– anyone love the burgundy or black or grey just as much –should we beg for more orange in future?? I’d like to have one now — will burgundy or grey or black make the most sense WAAAAHHH!! I want orange!
PS adore the site — I found grab bag gifts that people will
literally fight over!
December 12th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Nooo! Orange is out again! Please bring it back one more time for those of us who haven’t gotten one yet!
December 15th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
omg, the orange is a lot more gorgeous than I thought and I’m normally not a huge fan of orange! It’s a nice warm tone rather than a bright orange tone. Such a beautiful bag! Thanks Delight.com!!
December 16th, 2008 at 6:33 am
I purchased this bag in burgundy. I love it! I get compliments almost each time I carry it and have found it spacious but not too big.
December 22nd, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Please bring them back if you can.
December 23rd, 2008 at 10:46 am
oh please!!! I want one too….i don’t care which color, but I am hooked just reading about this bag.
January 7th, 2009 at 8:04 pm

January 8th, 2009 at 8:56 am
Pleeeease bring back orange. Please? Orange? ‘Cause then I’ll be able to get it for myself for my birthday!
January 16th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
YAY!!! orange is back –don’t wait! I have this bag in burgundy, and it is my go to bag. Can’t wait to get it. Thanks ladies for listening love ya!
January 17th, 2009 at 11:08 am
It’s BACK! I ordered an orange one a couple of days ago, even though I already have burgundy. Yay! Happy birthday to me! Erm… I may need it in black, too.
January 23rd, 2009 at 1:07 pm
I NEEEEEEEEED the orange bag!!! When will this be back in stock?
January 23rd, 2009 at 10:04 pm

January 31st, 2009 at 6:10 pm
I love, love, love this bag! I ordered it in gray, black and orange. I gave the black one to my sister and kept the other two for myself. I used the orange bag when I went to a baby shower and everyone kept commenting on how amazing it is! I told them, delight.com baby!
February 4th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Ack! I missed it again! More and I will order it right away, please!
February 11th, 2009 at 10:28 am
More orange and black please!!
February 19th, 2009 at 10:58 am
Please, please…….more orange.
February 19th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
I ordered grey from Delight and just fell in love with the bag (and have received several compliments on it!). I went on a mission to find the orange and eventually did on another site. Now I think I want burgundy, so please bring that back!
April 10th, 2009 at 11:42 am
please oh please bring this bag back!
August 27th, 2009 at 5:27 am
