I just tested on a character that didn't have the Breton motif yet and it worked for me. Can you give some more information like platform and if you're using any addons?
i buy the motif i get it out my mail and its not in my inventory, i tryed it 3 times alrdy...
If you bought the motif from a guild trader, you will get a mail message that has the motif as an attachment. Then when you open the mail it will show up in your inventory.
Hope this helps.

Perhaps you consumed it? Then it shows up when you go to make something in that style, or creating or changing an outfit. Try that and report back.
