[DP_woman]

Wow, interesting! Well, since its exclusive I guess we wont be seeing many. Id have to see it on kate moss to know if I like it.

 

[leyla m.]

bumped to see new opinions..

 

[jun3machina]

a good bump indeed...hey, was wondering how much, where and who (if any) has it been spotted on/given too/etc....

 

[luckyme]

I would like to know where to get it in the US, anyone know?

 

[leyla m.]

all i know is that it will be out for S/S 07

 

[jun3machina]

im getting quitely excited about spring 07! i know here was a lot of crap to pick through, but lil gems like this bag, some of the marc jacobs clothing and m by MJ have some REAL gems!

dying to know what this one is going to go for... i've been looking for a messenger for a while and the leather on this bag looks SO smushy and perfect! if anyone knows where they'll be sold, pls update this thread... would love to see one in person.

 

[leyla m.]

im guessing it will retail for about $1500 (just an approx guess)

 

[MJCouture]

does anyone know if these will be available in different sizes (larger than the one Leyla posted hopefully), or colors? I am really loving it but would need it to be much larger to pull it off...

 

[leyla m.]

MJ,

this bag is the only one Balmain offered in the showroom and the director said it will be huge and i know already it will.
im thinking of shortening the straps on mine

i'm thinking more like 2600...

 

[leyla m.]

2600?? USD?
brian, where did you get that quote from?
i am basing it on my cost price and that is a biiiiiig margin

I love it to bits - looked at pic close up & the leather looks huggable! What colours does it come in and try not to think about price. Would need seriously saving up for at a guess. Leyla, you always have brilliant taste in bags and love looking at your recommedations/purchases.

 

[leyla m.]

feline,

yeah the price is another issue but the bag itself is a dream!!
it only comes in black as far as im concerned but its too good to pass....
everyone who wants one start saving!!

 

[Feline]

Leyla, I'm well impressed by it - you could use it on any occasion, smart or casual and it would look fabulous. This is starting to sound like one of my 'it's an investment piece & use will justify cost' quotations (excuses!)

The leather looks so soft, but I am not a fan of fringes - too much Pocahontas for my taste. Anyway it is better than the Balmain bag I had as a teenager: golden plastic

 

[leyla m.]

its coming !!!!!!
its confirmed!!

 

[just_me]

i don't think so.. lol.

 

[brian]

what's the price leyla???

 

[leyla m.]

huh? just me..; what do you mean?

brian, its not hit the stores yet... so not sure.
i would put it at no more than 1700 EUROS
