Congrats! Great color choice!

what's the name of the product most of you use to treat your bags?

it's completely slipping my mind and i feel like i should buy something to treat my bag with so the handles don't get too discolored from use...

Are you talking about LMB? Lots of people use that!

Hello ladies,
I was at Holt Renfrew this last week and came across a fantastic bag. Have you all seen the "Street"? The SA didn't even know what it was called, she had to go look up the name for me, and told me it was brand new for them. I have never heard of it before, but that doesn't really mean much since I'm not hip to the Bal-style. They had it in (I think) it was officier? They also had a raisin mid-day that was TDF!!!
Well.. just wondering what everyone thinks of the "street". (I really liked it)

i love the street!
i'm on the waiting list at barneys for a raisin RH one...the squared off shape reminds me of the old bowling style...

galet rh street

there is also a larger version of the street called the "office," that also comes in giant and regular hardware...

Is everyone here only into authentic Balenciaga, or are there any T&D NBF fans...?

 

[caroulemapoule]

Not that I understand your shortenings at all. But I do not, and will never own a fake bag. I am a bit schocked that you are asking actually. It's a fashion forum you know.

Sure, and people ask questions to make conversation about fashion in this forum - do they not?

LA Woman: It looks off to me. The hardware is placed too close to eachother, and it's too shiny to me. I wouldn't get it. I just checked the serial number, and that is ALL wrong too! Sorry.

 

[ChrissyM]

i'm no expert but i agree that the hardware on the front looks too close together...
and isn't the tag on the inside supposed to be metal?
i don't know if it's different for the bags with leather coated hardware...

 

[caroulemapoule]

Work always only has a leather tag, so has the twiggy and day, city with RH has a metalplate. I am not sure if city with GH has one though.

But the serial number is all wrong on that one!!
