just got the earrings! Thank you!
What earrings? I only see coats and purses.
Collin’s last sentence, in post above, has the link for more deals.
I wonder if TODAYCOAT will get me a “steal” on any of the men on the Kenneth Cole site. 🙂
i am still waiting for the Ipod Energizer Case ordered on Oct 25 and not a single response from them on getting a tracking number for the shipment. 🙁
Bought my husband the double breasted pea coat, he’s gonna look so HOT in it. Thanks Collin!!!
im no longer thrilled with these as the philosophy deal from last week was cheaper when ordered from philosophy without the code:( and you could use a coupon on it. so i spent roughtly $10 bucks more thru this
Just an FYI, I live in So. California (Orange County area) and last year bought my two sons (18 and 26, not little kids) very nice wool jackets from Costco. I was in there about a week ago and noticed the jackets are back. I believe they are also a designer brand and about the same price point as the Kenneth Cole jackets above, so if you are looking for a nice wool mens jacket and somehow miss out on the deal above, you may want to check your local Costco.
Has anyone received the 3 piece Millano towel set from a few weeks ago? I have tried to check the status online but it does not seem to be working. There is no number to call either.
FYI!!! Wal-Mart is selling Kate Spade purses from last season this weekend for 29.99!!! Check your local ads, first com first serve, while products last!
Called a friend that works at Wal-mart, she already put mine on hold! OMG!!! Thank you recession!
love steals and deals
will you be having the wolf/ritz special books deals any time soon?
no have still not received it, better get here this week! Can’t track it, so I’m getting a little worried
My girlfriend ordered this bag and it arrived this evening after sending their customer service a “hi-priority” email. You may want to try this tact.
Has anyone received the Jana Feifer Tote Bag (Jill’s Steals and Deals 11/22/11)?
I have not either received any info on the Jana Feifer Totes from 11/22 and do not know who to contact. Joanne
You can email them at customerservice@janafeiferbags.com
i got this letter from them yesterday
Dear Customer,
My name is Jana Feifer. I am the designer of the handbag you purchased from the Jill’s Steals & Deals segment of the Today Show. First, I would like to say thank you very much for your purchase – I know that you will be very pleased! I am a small business owner and I truly appreciate your support. I am writing to you because I have encountered a slight problem with the delivery of a portion of my handbags. The cognac color is scheduled to arrive just after Christmas, so if you were planning to receive your handbag before the 23rd of December, then I am truly sorry for any inconvenience and I will be happy to give you a full refund. However, if you wouldn’t mind receiving your bag at the beginning of January, I would be extremely grateful. I would also like to propose one other option: I can substitute the cognac bag with a black or chocolate brown bag to arrive by December 23rd. So, here are your options:
A.) Keep your original purchase of Cognac for delivery in January
B.) Substitute the Cognac for an alternate color of Black or Chocolate Brown
C.) A full refund back to your credit card
If you could please reply to this email with your name and which letter option (A, B, or C) you would like, I will personally make sure your order is handled with the utmost care.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
Jana Feifer
you can try calling them at (310) 589-9165
have u guys heard about ur totes or gotten them?
i wrote to the again today.. just heard back.. this is what they said at 156pm All orders are shipping this week. I’m very sorry for the delay, but with the holidays, my factory ran later then they had promised. I will guarantee it will be there by the 12/23 at the latest.
Sincerely,
JF Handbags
Customer Service
that was in reguards to my order for a black tote placed 11/22/11.
Amy, that is not a valid phone # – 310-589-9165. Please advise a contact # for A.D Apparel.
thank you!
charlotte,
that number i posted was on an email i got from who ever is selling the Jana Feifer leather tote bags. I am just a regular old person waiting on arrival of my purchase of the tote since 11/22/11. I found the email address for where to contact someone about my purchase on the order page for my tote. i wish I could help you out. The longer the time goes the more I am feeling that I might not be getting my tote. I am trying to stay patient until 12/23/11 comes and goes before I get really mad! They already took my payment out of my bank account so I do know come 12/26/11 I will be calling my bank to get my money back if the tote has not arrived..
I haven’t received my bag either and they already charged my credit card back on 11/22. I emailed them a couple of days ago and have not heard back. I’ll give them another week before I dispute the charge with my credit card company.
I finally received the so called “leather” tote bag from Jana Feifer. I could not be more disappointed. I had been a loyal subscriber to Jills Steals and Deals and have gotten great deals on high quality products in the past – but this is not one of them. I have written customer service and asked for a full refund. I don’t believe this bag was ever sold in high end retail stores and it’s not worth anything close to $75, much less the so called retail price of $395. The bag feels like plastic and reeks of smelly chemicals.
I received my tote bag and I am totally disappointed not only with Jana Feifer but with Steals and Deals. This bags reeks of chemical smell from PVC and does not look or smell like a high end retail bag. I have requested a refund from the company ASAP. Apparently, merchandise offered on Steals and Deals is not thoroughly research for the true value but is misrepresented as truly discounted.
I agree the bags are so cheap looking and there is no way anyone would pay even close to $395 for them. They are non refundable as per the confirmation email “no refunds or exchanges.” I did send them an email expressing my disspointment with their product and will see what the response is, I am not sure I will ever see one
I just got the bag on the 23rd. What a disappointment. The smell is really nauseating. I have it wrapped in two plastic bags to contain the smell and will most likely end up throwing it in the garbage. I can’t believe high end retailers sell this brand. They must have sent us the knockoff version as they clearly couldn’t even keep up demand. I’m disappointed with The Today Show for endorsing this product. Total scam. The no refund no exchange policy should have set off warning bells.
I agree Lily!!! Mine STINKS of chemicals. I am requesting a REFUND!
The lining is cheap. Feels like it will rip wen opening the zipper.

I just contacted my credit card company and you can dispute a charge if the quality of the item is not what was represented. I am giving them 5 days to respond to my e-mail then I am turining it over to the credit card company.
The quality of this bag is cheap and NOT leather!
I received an e-mail today and they are going to refund my money.
This is what the e-mail said about the bag.
We are very sorry that you are not happy with your Jana Feifer handbag purchase. Unfortunately, there is some confusion about the materials of the bag that you purchased. It was clearly stated on the Today Show segment, on the Jana Feifer website and on the customer receipt at the time of purchase that the bag is made of embossed faux croc and leather trim. The bag you received is made of that exact fabrication.
I see NO WHERE on my receipt or the website the word FAUX CROC.
But I am happy they are refunding my money without me going through my credit card.
Yes, I agree it says faux croc…but I can’t even figure out what on it constitutes “leather trim”! I bought 2 b/c I couldn’t decide between the brown & black. I thought if I left them out of the plastic bag for a couple of days the smell would dissipate ….not so much. I’m happy to hear you can get a refund b/c these are junk! I’ve gotten better totes through make-up give-aways! Remember it was actually $86 w/shipping!
I feel like a sucker 🙁
I agree with all of the above. I cannot figure out where the “leather” is on this bag. I just want to know if we have to pay the shipping to return it. That will cost another 10 to 15 dollars. After the 4 week wait and dubious quality of the bag, I am thoroughly disappointed.
I returned mine yesterday in the original box. At first the price was $23.00. I said NO WAY, do it cheap like the bag! I ended up paying $9.80 with delivery confirmation.
Jana
I received my bag and had to leave it outside on my screened in porch because of the smell. I want to return the bag, but am having difficulty reaching you. I left messages at the customer service # on packing slip. NO return call. They finally answered the phone and directed me to a website. The phone # on the webside has a full mailbox, so I couldn’t leave a message. I would like a refund, including shipping and taxes. This bag was definitely misrepresented. I can hardly believe that Halle Berry would carry something so cheap and smelly. No more deals and steals for me. ziptothepage@gmail.com
Just came today! My Jana Feifer bag. Love the size hate the smell of it looks a little cheap for 75$ I expected more it came in a plastic bag with no stuffing in it and it took way to long to get about 3 weeks!!!
I ordered mine immediately and has still not received it.
Still waiting for the Peacoat I ordered for my husband on 11/22. When will this arrive and in what manner will it arrive (ups, usps, fed)? I would like to know as I want to be around when it does and my husband doesn’t see it before Christmas.
I also have not recieved the coat either! The company never sent me a confirmation email and I cannot find any contact info from them! It is very frustrating! Does any one have contact info for A D Apparel Group and not the wrong one in new york either!!!!
Like you I never got a conformation email as well. I did however get an email this morning from UPS Quantum View from ABC FULFILLMENT…not sure if this is the coat or not, if not them I’m completely confused as to what it is. It didn’t state what the shipment was for. Has anyone ordered something from here and this UPS & company is where it’s from?
FYI …the UPS Quantum View Fulfillment is spam
Kenneth Cole sale was a blitz. I was on the computer when Jill aired the sale. the site was pulled down before I could place an order for 4 doulbe breasted top coats for my sons. Most vendors keep the sale open for several days if not weeks!
I can’t get in touch with anyone about my order placed on dec 2
just get a recording and the today sow help site is no help
try writing to this email address. customerservice@janafeiferbags.com i have written a few times and they write back within 24 hrs. my last email from them stated i will get my tote no later than dec 23. i placed my order on 11/22/11. they did say it would take 3 weeks for delievery but the date of dec 23 will be 4 weeks. if i do not get it by the 23rd i will be calling my back to request a full refund.
hope this helps u..
i wrote to the again today.. just heard back.. this is what they said at 156pm All orders are shipping this week. I’m very sorry for the delay, but with the holidays, my factory ran later then they had promised. I will guarantee it will be there by the 12/23 at the latest.

that was in reguards to my order for a black tote placed 11/22/11.
I’m so excited to get my bag! Absolutely need by the 23rd. Major Christmas present and I’m so excited to present it!!!
hey dianne what part of the country r u in? I’m on the east coast.. hope i get my bag by the 23rd like they have promised..
I ordered the Kenneth Cole jacket on 11/22 and it stated guaranteed by the holidays, 3 weeks tops for delivery and it’s been 3 weeks. Where can I find additional information on this? Cards shouldn’t be charged until delivery like every other merchant does.
Ok! I am so frustrated! I will never rely on kills deals and steals for gifts! Ordered the KC pea coat on 11/22 and still waiting for it to arrive!! I’ve sent 3 Urgent messages thru asking for tracking information and nothing… This is ridiculous and very unprofessional on the Today Show’s involvement! If anyone has news re: this pls. Advise. At this point I’d like to get my money back and go out shopping for another coat!
i agree with u carol idk if i will buy from steals and deals again if i dont get my order when it was promised a week after original delivery time
I ordered mine on the 22nd as well and I just received it in the mail yesterday. Keep faith. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Also check your e-mail, it was delivered UPS Quantam view.
I’m glad to hear you received your tote. I was beginning to wonder if the bags existed!! Which color did you order?
Sorry there was some confusion. I didn’t order a tote…I ordered a kenneth cole peacoat
I ordered mine on the 22nd as well and I just received it in the mail yesterday. Keep faith. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Also check your e-mail, it was labeled UPS Quantam view. It was delivered UPS.
Carol – ordered on Nov. 29th 2011 – Week 3 – “Calivin Klein Jeans” Jill’ Deals. I ordered & pd for three (3) sweaters. I’m still looking for them, they are gifts. How can a person check on A.D.Apparel Group shipping ?
Carol – I also placed an order with A.D Apparel Group and cannot find my order. Do you have an email address for them? Anyone?
this message is for anyone that ordered the jana feifer tote on 11/22/11.Has anyone gotten them yet? if so what part of the country do u live in. i think its coming from the west coast if it is made in the USA.
Received the bag today (Dec. 19) and I am not very happy with it! leather only on the sides, bottom and straps………the rest of the bag is PVC…another term for plastic. My location is East Coast
reply to kathy lum.. omg r u kidding!??? PVC for $85.00!!?? my daughter is going to hate it.. how can they take people like this?
No where on this description does it say anything about plastic!! I do not believe that Saks, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, and Neiman Marcus would sell crap so they used false advertising to get us to spend our hard earned money! well i just might contact my bank about this scam
The Jana Feifer leather tote bags feature a croc design on the sides that feel buttery soft to the touch. They’re perfect for use as an everyday bag or even an overnight tote. They come in three colors: black, cognac, and chocolate brown.

No refunds either! they are not stupid.
i dont think our banks or credit card companies will agree with the no returns though.. This is a scam. i have everything saved about this item emails,descriptions, etc.. I will have my bank fight to get me my money back. i would suggest u all talk to ur banks if u are not happy with it.. i will never buy from this site again.
I agree- no way that was a 395$ Bag!! It smells like plastic! not butter leather( LOL )like that claim.
Also, the bag is made in China.
I just received my “Jana Feifer” -and I can’t believe she would ever put her name on an item like this! Only took over a month to arrive from China, no wonder, and if I don’t get cancer from breathing the toxic fumes coming off this piece of plastic crap it will be a Christmas miracle! There isn’t a piece of leather anywhere on this bag-I don’t care how “buttery soft” they claim it is! This is right up there with the fake “UGG” boots scam! lol! It’s such a shame I have to learn everything the hard way! I feel if I send the bag back-I won’t see my money or the bag and the return postage is worth more than this product! I’m sure you make some nice products Jana, but sadly, this isn’t one of them.

I ordered Slim Chance and Long Island Wallet on 12/3. Received an email confirming my order along with an Order # from A.D. Apparel Group. I have not recived any shipping info. Please help!!
Is there a way i can track my order?
I also ordered two wallets on 12/2/11 and have not received them and they are Christmas gifts. How do we go about tracking our orders?
I ordered a wallet on 12/2/11 from A.D.Apparel Group. I received a confirmation, but have not received my merchandise. How do I track my order?
Hi… I ordered a Kenneth Cole wallet as well. I have not received any confirmation, shipping info or anything! However, my card was charged on 12/05/11 by A D Apparel? I’ve sent e-mail to the e-mail address given in Hip2Save, but no response? Has anyone had any success with this deal?
I have received an email stating my order was shipped 12/17/2011. We’ll see!
I have not gotten the bag in black or an email either. I’m on the east coast.
robyn, try emailing them at customerservice@janafeiferbags.com i have emailed them quite a few times now.. they are helpful and answer really fast. i was told i would get my black bag by dec 23rd.. crossing fingers that they are telling me the truth. let me know how u make out .. i am on the east coast as well

Dear Customer,
I apologize for not being able to reach customer service, with the holidays around the corner we have been inundated with calls and emails. We are in the process of finishing the fulfillment of over 8000 orders of the Tote. I’m very sorry for the delay, but with the holidays the factory ran later then they had promised.
Happy Holidays!
Sincerely,
JF Handbags
Customer Service
Happy holidays my ass. I called the cc company and sent JF an email and a phone call to the company and left a vm. I’m done! I want my money back Amy, cause it sounds like a really cheap bag. I work for an airline I can fly free and get a cheap bag from China. I’m in PA. Where r u?
Amy read what Toni Wilson had to say about her bag
im from upstate NY.. it seems that everyone that ordered from jills steals and deals are getting screwed.. ive read posts about people not getting knives, towels, wallets and what ever else has been sold. they arent getting their items either and they seem to be getting the same promises as to they will be arriving by christmas. Which christmas 2012? those that have gotten their items are saying the quality is below pare and crap. we need to all get a class action suit going agains the Todays show , NBC and Jill!
I ordered a wallet from A.D. apparel on Dec. 2. They charged my credit card, but the wallet has not appeared. Does anyone have an email contact for them?

Glad to hear that it worked out for you. I still havent gotten my leather tote. Based on what I am hearing from the few people that have the quality if not very good. Hope your item is of good quality..
I HAVE NOT REXEIVED THE LONG ISLAND WALLET AS OF YET i ORDERED IT 2ND DEC.
AND THEY HAVE USED MY CREDIT CARD
Ordered three wallets from A D Group….have not heard anything. Is there a way to contact them? They have charged my credit card but no wallets.
I also ordered the Kenneth Cole wallets – they banged my credit card on Dec. 2 and i still have nothing. And of course, the customerservice@todayshow-kennethcole email address does not respond to inquiries about ANYTHING!!! Hey Today Show, if you are going to advertise with these idiot companies the least you can do is help out your viewers get your products. I’ll never order again from Jill’s steals and deals.
Hello,
I too ordered the Feifer Tote and still have not received them. I ordered 3 of them and I am becoming increasingly nervous that they will not arrive before XMAS. My other concern is that those members who have received them are saying the quality is very poor. I feel like I have been ripped off and taken advantage of. I cannot afford to buy other gifts for these people because these bags never came. I am upset with the Today Show for endorseing this scam.
Yes, I am upset with the Today Show for promoting these bags. Difinetly not worth the price……..and really $300. On what planet?
try emailing the today show with your complaints.. if they are endorsing these sales then they should be backing the quality of the products they r endorsing.. the link below goes to their email.. i wrote yesterday havent heard back
https://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/29041920/ns/today-today_participate/t/email-today/
I waited all day, still no Jana Feifer Tote. I tried emailing the today show but, I doubt they can help me.
i havent gotten mine yet either.. i wrote to the today show yesterday and still havent heard anything..I am kind of not looking forward to get it any more based on what people are saying the quality is like.. part plastic and smelly GRRR
I just contacted my Credit Card Company and disputed the charge for the Jana Feifer Tote. I tried emailing the company and they do not reply. I tried calling the company and no one answers the phone, not even a voice mail. I am not a rich person I cannot afford to be out of $247.00. Especially since I will have to buy these people other gifts.
I will never trust the Today Show’s Jills Steals & Deals again. This is very stressful at holiday time. It’s horrible to take advantage of people in this economy.
What did your credit card co say? Will they be able to get the money back? I am giving them until the 23rd to get me mine. If I do not get it i will be going to my bank on 12/26/11 with all of this info from the blogs and demand they get me my money back. I too will never buy from the steals and deals.. We work too hard for our money and do not bring in what they do from working on that show. We have to count every penny and this is a lot of pennies to lose!
The bank was very nice they asked me all relevant information. Such as when the item was ordered, when was the item promised to be delivered, had I made any attempts to contact the company etc…
I faxed them my receipt and they are investigating my claim. Even if it does come it sounds like it is not what it was promised. The bank told me there is claim for that too. If it does come but, it’s past the date expected or it is not the quality promised I would still be entitled to get my money back. Hopefully, it’s all true because I believe in my heart that I was ripped off. I work too hard for my money to just let this go. The way it was described on the Today Show as being buttery soft leather made it sound irresistible. At 82% off it made it affordable for the average person like me to give a gift that is normally sold in high end stores like Nieman Marcus, Saks & Nordstrom. Boy was I fooled. I’m embarrassed to tell my family what I did.
I ordered the Jana Feifer black tote on 11/22. I finally received an email on 12/16 stating it was shipped with an expected delivery date of 12/23. I have been tracking it via FEDEX which shows it will be delivered by postal service by 12/22. If this tote is not 100% leather I will be contacting my credit card company, Jana Feifer, Jill Martin and The Today Show. The product was described as being leather and being valued at $395.
Tee did u get ur tote today as promised?
Got my bag today in black…piece of crap. Would never spend $75 on it, let alone the $395. Very disappointed.
I received my tote today and it smells and looks tacky. We didn’t get a steal, we were robbed!
I have yet to receive my tote bag…and I will give them until dec 26th…I’ve emailed them twice with no response… Is there anyone satisfied with their Jana Feifer bags?
I have yet to read about one person that is happy with their bag. seems to be a total disappointment.. i am beginning to wonder if these bags are knock of fakes that a person would get on canal st in NYC for 40.00. according to their info these are bags that high end stores sell. I dont think they sell smelly plastic bags. this has scam written all over it..
I’m not happy with my Jana Feifer bag either. I wouldn’t have paid $75 for it if I had seen it first. Agree it smells terrible too. I also thought the description said it zippered shut at the top (but I could be wrong on that, I came online today to see if I could find that old description). It closes loosely at the top with a center magnetic clasp. I will say on the delivery, though, they told me up front mine would take 2-3 weeks to arrive, so I was OK with their timing on delivery.
Holly here is the description. I save everything just incase i need to fight to get my money back when i order things online..
The Jana Feifer leather tote bags feature a croc design on the sides that feel buttery soft to the touch. They’re perfect for use as an everyday bag or even an overnight tote. They come in three colors: black, cognac, and chocolate brown. These bags measure 15 1/2 inches long, 12 1/2 inches wide and 4 1/2 inches deep (so they would make a great bag for your coupon binder! ). The bags have been sold in high end retailers such as Saks, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, and Neiman Marcus. The estimated shipping cost is $10.95 and the product will take three weeks to arrive.
——————————————————————————–
Thanks Amy. I went to the Jana Feifer website. It says her bags in the JAM “initial-themed bags” were sold at the high end retailers, but doesn’t say anything about the totes being sold there. I wonder if they really were sold there.
I am begining to thnk that she may have made bags like the ones they sold us but we got the knock offs that you could get for 40.00 on a street corner in NYC.. this has scam all over it
I tried calling JF handbags and the mailbox is always full. Am wondering about the tote bag I ordered. I haven’t heard a thing. Has anyone had any luck. Wondering if I got dooped.
if i were u i would start reading the blogs from as far back as dec 15th.. u probably wont like what they r saying.. i still havent gotten mine.
Hey Jana Fiefer, do us all a favor and clear out your #*&#( customer service voicemail box (310-589-9165). A “Sorry, our mailbox is full” message does nothing to dispel thoughts of “fraud” dancing in my head. Hate to think that Jeal’s “Steals and Deals” are more Steal than Deal.
It’s 3 days till Xmas and no bag yet (wife’s gift). I’d like to request that you cancel my bag order and send me a doghouse instead. That’s where I’ll be living in 2012 when my wife doesn’t get her bag for Christmas.
not only will u be living in the dog house.. u will be eating dog food when ur wife sees the bag.. from what people are saying she will think u bought it at walmart. i still havent gotten mine. i went to marshalls today and could have gotten a REAL leather bag nicer than the one i ordered for only 10.00 more than this pieace of crap cost me. i am waiting to get it before i put in a fraud claim at my bank just in case for some reason my daughter likes it.. if i dont get it by dec 23 as promised i will go to the bank on the 26th and demand my money back
I received my bag today and it was not worth $85 (cost plus shipping). If my memory serves me correct, it did not save anything about the sides being PVC. As for future Steals & Deals, I will only trust the brands I already know. I also ordered the Kenneth Cole coat for my husband on 11/22. Received it in a few weeks and it is very nice.
I order my tote on 11/22/2011, and have not received it. It sounds like we all have been dupe. I’m not looking forward to having a bag made with PVC.
I just got this email about the jana tote.. I dont know how to take it because last week I got an email promising it by the 23rd.. I wrote back to them and told them if i was not getting it as promised on the 23rd i want a full refund. i havent heard back.. here is the email
Dear Customer,
I apologize for not being able to reach customer service, with the holidays around the corner we have been inundated with calls and emails. We are in the process of finishing the fulfillment of over 8000 orders of the Tote. I’m very sorry for the delay, but with the holidays the factory ran later then they had promised.
Happy Holidays!
Sincerely,
JF Handbags

I got the same email in response to an email I sent requesting a refund because of the poor quality of the bag.
I sent an email to JF and the Today Show telling them how disappointing this bag was. No response yet. I’m thinking I might contact my CC company to see what else I can do. I wanted to give JF customer service a chance to respond but I’m thinking they won’t. Or maybe I should contact the Better Business Bureau….I would have no problem returning this bag for a refund, would even pay for return shipping.
has anyone posting on here started to get strange emails? I have gotten 2 today that had a link to click which I didnt click.. it was adddressed to ALL of my email accounts.. i also got one asking to confim this group by clicking a link. Beware of strange emails!!
I did get the e-mail to confirm this group but haven’t gotten any other strange ones.
the one i got about joining the group was for a specific group about the jana bag and only had customer service as the sender. the other 2 had my name as the sender.. its not like we dont have enough to worry about without having to worry about being attacked with a virus from this site too.. grrr
Received the Jana tote and it is not as advertised. $75 for a bad smelling PVC bag. I’m also trying to get a refund. Maybe we can ask Good Morning America for help, or just start watching their show since we can’t get any response from the Today Show.
Just got my JF handbag. I love love love it. I was worried because of what others said but I truly love it
I just received my JF tote…and after waiting so long…I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!!! It is not high quality, looks cheap, and smells terrible!!! $75 is too much to pay for a bag made of PVC!! I will be seeking a refund!!
i got my bag today as promised.. the smell was not as bad as i thought it was going to be.. that said it doesnt mean i am still not very disappointed with it. I am just greatful it doesnt smell like gasoline. It looks 100% PVC though. The “leather trim” doesnt feel at all like butter soft leather. It is very soft but it has a pluther feel leather! low quality leather if it is leather at all. Since it is a gift for my daughter I will wait and see how she feels about it before putting in a complaint. She is very picky about her clothes and bags etc that I will be surprised if she likes it.. I will never buy from the Today show again.
hey i also wanted to say it was fun blogging with u guys this week.. U all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah. I wish u all better online shopping experiences!

Just received the three black totes I ordered from the Steals and Deals segment (two for daughter in laws and one for me). After multiple emails received notice would arrive on Dec. 23 and did. Extremely disappointed. As stated by others, plastic feel to croc side but smooth sides are soft. PVC construction smells AWFUL – the delivery box even stinks. Had I seen these bags in person would never had paid $40 let alone the $75 plus shipping. Prominent stores would never be able to get the stated $395. I feel I have been ripped off and will never trust Jill or the Today Show with their recommendations. Would return if I could. A little late to be shopping now for a replacement.
absolutely the worst item i have ever ordered online, the bags smell and look so cheap they would be sold in a dollar store boy was i taken. i have sent an email for a refund and am hopeful that i will be refunded for the 2 bags i ordered, there is no way i would give as a gift.
My daughter just stopped by so I decided to show her the tote today and not wait until christmas day.. I had told her all about the blogs and how people were writting about this EXPENSIVE plastic bag. She took it held it to her nose and said I dont think it smells too bad.. Held it out eyed it all over and said I like it.. i like it alot actually.. This is from a VERY picky 24yr old.. I have to say I was surprised by her reaction because I feel it is a piece of crap but if she REALLY likes it alot then who am I to say no you cant have it because I dont like it..
Jana I do think the quality of ur bag really isnt good.. I cant see movie stars carrying this around either..Maybe htis wasnt ur best work but it still represents YOU! This didnt do a good job REPRESENTING Jana.. Do better please!
I will not be asking for a refund..
Believe it or not my bag arrived today and I sent it right back with the driver. Never again from steals and deals.
