Pink i always prefer city over town, but you're the one who's gonna wear it so if u say u always love the style of the town, why don't get that one?
Liina congrats! i love pistachio 04

pinky..I think out of the 2 I say CITY....it will be with you forever and you will never get tired of it. The town is nice with the smaller HW...But the City is a timeless classic YKWIM?

Thanks bagalish I do love the city but you know me about giant hardware.. and the strap is a little thick for my tastes. But the size is perfect! I think I'm gonna stop by NM today to check out the town size. The little RGGH is soooo adorable!

/\ PINKY....sometimes is nice just to go into a store and pick a sweet treat that you love and always think about it...I say if it's the HG for you...get it..You wont regret it.
The town is adorable, whichever way you go...I'm sure you will be over the moon.
I prefer larger bags, so I wouldnt use the town at all..But if you know it will suit your needs...Again..GO FOR IT..run dont walk!
I tried on a town at Barney's and I felt like I was wearing a wallet/clutch on a X body strap.. it felt so small.

I'm opposite bagalish! I just bought an LV damier speedy 30 and I feel like I should have gotten the 25!! I definitely need the town. I was about to buy it off hgbags but it sold out after a couple hours!! Now I'm going to have to get it at Neimens.. which is fine but hgbags was about a hundred cheaper with no tax too!! I can't stop thinking about it though, it WILL be mine!!

post a pic as soon as you get it!!!!!

Is there anyone feel sad that balenciaga is not going to be produced anymore?
It's one of my favorite hw, I wonder how they decide this? Does thats mean the selling of the sgh is higher than ggh? Or because they produce rggh and the ggh is closer to rggh than sgh to rggh?

 

[Frenger]

^WHAT? Are they going to stop producing bags? Where did you read it? Oh gosh, if this is true I'm devastated!

 

[seahorseinstripe]

^^

Omg!! I must've missed something when I type it, I mean they are stop producing the gold giant hardware

 

[Frenger]

WHAT!? Are you kidding moi? I'm going to Barcelona in December and I'm determined to buy the gold giant envelope clutch in Barcelona (because I'm not going to any big cities before December). Do you think it is sold out then? I never wear silver so I cannot get it in silver!

 

[caroulemapoule]

They have said that a hundred times before. It's getting like the story of Peter and the wolves. I don't believe it, all the other times it's been bullocks.

 

[seahorseinstripe]

yeah, there's no more GGH in spring 2010 collection
they said the RGGH is the replacement for GGH, and The GGH is actual 18k gold plated is what I was told by Balenciaga. maybe the fluctuating price of gold is the reason they decided not to produce it anymore?
or maybe because the GGH have problem with tarnishing
although the bal us customer service say that they will still producing GGH ONLY on black

 

[Frenger]

Fortunately, GGH in black is what I'm planning to purchase.

 

[PinkPrincess113]

Anyone know where to start if I want a pivoine wallet? I can't decide between a money, compagnon and the smaller compagnon... they're all so cute!

 

[PinkPrincess113]

They told me at Bal LA that they phased out GGH because of low sales in Europe. GSH is WAY more popular over there. Who knows what the truth is....

Does anyone know where I can find the 10th Anniversary Bag online other than the official website?
I need it to be shipped internationally, and Aloha Rag doesn't carry it unfortunately
Thank you in advance!
