i'm thinking the indigo and black would be pretty similiar. just a thought.

I also have a classique in teal and just saw the twiggy in indigo a few days ago. I think the indigo looked much brighter than teal (so it doesn't look that similar to black, compared to teal).

Unless you really want the bag in "BLACK" (not just "dark color / shade"), then you may want to consider getting other color. Anyway, that's my personal view. All in all, I think each color of Balenciaga bag delivers different feeling and looks, and that's why we all

them!!

it's a GREAT neutral color. the taupe really is gorgeous in real life.

Totally agree!! It is grey with a hint of green / khahi, which is different from the heather grey.

I got my taupe twiggy a few days ago and just love the color more and more!! Anyway, after I got the twiggy (which I thought I really loved), I feel like I actually prefer the small and city classique. The twiggy is good if you want more space, but I think the classique (both small and city) is more functional.

Hi everyone I have a black le dix, but now really want a twiggy. I would like either a brown or tan colour. Does anyone know what colours they come in and also whether a tan would get dirty? Is there a darker brown avaliable?

Thanks

just the right amount of distressing, soft, yet not too thin....

also saw a used seafoam arena...
its really sad how the arena bags are discontinued now..

its hard to put my babyblue medium over my shoulder and i dont like to use the long strap... i wish they made an arena in babyblue... then i would have gotten it instead of getting the medium.

i really loved the look of the "shopper" aka arena bags.
yes, too bad they are discontinued.

maybe when i visit korea this summer... i can get my hands on a seafoam
bag... i don't care what it is (classique, city classique, twiggy...etc.)

the bag is not "le dix" anymore. it was actually a different line of bags from balenciaga. they are officially the motorcycle bags--sans the word "le dix".

about what i said about wanting a black classique-i do, but i was watching the ashlee simpson show just now and this girl who was on it had a white classique and damn it looked so gorgeous..now im back to wondering if i should get white. decisions...

compared to the white, which i know is known to get super-dirty, this color will hold up, darker colors will hold up longer. didn't you see the picture that cloud9 posted earlier in the thread?

cloud9 · 17-02-2005

angel - the store is located in seoul, korea. i doubt they speak english... the twiggy costs around $1600.

keep the taupe twiggy! since it's a classic color, you can carry it with anything you wear. i prefer the classique in a bolder color or a lighter shade since i'd like to carry it on a night out or events so it can stand out with the outfits i wear.

geez... that's almost double the price!! is it really worth trying to salvage the seafoam? maybe it's just better that we wait and hope for balenciaga to come out with a light greenish color in the future....
$1600 just hurts.

TWILO · 17-02-2005

red is definitely a must-have. it just looks so wonderful with black or neutral attire!

yeah, thats crazy :/ i'm going to wait on it, i have a source who may be coming thru for me with a seafoam..its a long shot tho.

i'm back to square one trying to decide between white and black-after seeing that girl carrying a small white on the Ashlee Simpson show last night-it just looked so good...gahh.

also on that show Ashlee was carrying a small tan, it looked gorgeous

TWILO · 17-02-2005

i don't care what others say! i absolutely love everything about these bags.

i really don't think the bag is flimsy at all.
