Sari Bari drives me crazy! I always go to their site and see a million things I absolutely adore, but they are sold out completely every time I go to their site! This would be way more acceptable if their stuff wasn't so awesome.
Yep. Sari Bari is sold out. Thanks for getting my hopes up only to crush them Loonie.
Sorry guys. Maybe it's a better idea to buy things after Christmas when they can build up their inventory. Sorry for getting your hopes up and crushing your spirits.
