[caroulemapoule]

It is lovely Ladida, and welcome!

 

[PrincessImp.]

Wow Ladida, the praline is a such a nice colour and wonderful neutral!
Thanks for sharing and welcome!

 

[shoreonthekafka]

Wow, awesome, I'm getting one

 

[Ladida]

thank you so much for your comments!
i will try to take some pics in natural light!

 

[ChrissyM]

the praline really does look quite nice

would love to see some natural light pics!
how close is the color in your previous photos?
i don't think i've seen pics of praline anywhere yet so i'm curious...

almost reminds me of silly putty or something
but in a good way

ladida: that's an awesome color.

 

[Red Sole]

Thanks for the pictures ladies!!! You got some really gorgeous bags!!!
Ladida-any chance of modeling pics???

 

[BerlinRocks]

i have a question ....
is that a real balenciaga ? and if yes what season ?
it's not on balenciaga website and on this source this bag is stated as being a SS09 one ....


rafaello network

 

[caroulemapoule]

Never seen it before. But I am pretty sure that Rafaello sells genuine Bal.

 

[kwikspell]

That is a real style of Bal, yes! There's also one in black & white tones.... there's definitely a few variations. I vaguely remember seeing some for sale on the Barneys website and there have been a few threads about them on the Purse Forum, too.

yep, that is an authentic...i've only seen a pick of that colorway in a magazine...
i've seent the first (with the praline body) at the barneys in sf...
the black and white one looks like a crossword puzzle...

ladida, your new bag is so pretty...congrats!
the nude colors (sandstone/mastic, etc.) seem to sell very well for balenciaga...

 

[Ciao Bella]

Ladida...your praline GSH is fantastic!!!

Thanks mynameisgreg and kxm911... I have not changed Bal's since she arrived a souple of weeks ago...so she is breaking in sooooo nicely!!!
