LilyGirl and Waterfalls,
That Spy that's photographing as Taupe with Blue Handles is actually the Taupe/Purple... it's just different lighting and flashes sometimes makes them look blue!
I have the Taupe/Purple and it is beautiful, but sometimes I think I'd prefer it if the handles were closer to cobalt blue (like in that picture). The contrast would be sooo much better!

Waterfalls, OMG you will get so many differing opinions on which your first Spy should be! My first was the Taupe/Purple - a GREAT way to start! It goes with everything (even black) and is one of the few that truly looks 4-season.
Depends on who you ask, though. The Cognac is pretty fabulous, as is the Petrol. I would caution you to pass on the Cream White/Black, as the white has been known to yellow... and you MAY not want to carry it in the dead of winter, depending on where you are. GOOD LUCK and let us know which one you choose!

Thanks for your thoughts spycrazy... i LOVE your taupe/purple... and your black on in the background of that picture... I know you're one of the biggest spy collectors here.. do you really think i shouldn't get the white?

I've always like chloe and balenciagas and chanels more. and ONLY JUST picked up on the fendi spy .... they are realllly growing on me too. and i've never gotten the white for chanels becuase let's fact it.. a dirty quilted lambskin chanel is just heartwrenching... and white balenciagas look plain..

I really think the white spy looks very lux... and i think the taupe/purple is quirky... although the teal looks the richest in terms of colour.. but i have never been a teal girl... as much as I love the squooshiness of the petrol... i really don't think the colour suits me...

The white/black i'm thinking of getting is a lizard spy.. so maybe it'll be less prone to getting yellow? and I know a friend who has a white nappa leather one who's bag hasn't yellowed at all.. but she takes very good care of it.. cleaning and storing...

but my dad likes the teal.... and my sister changes her mind every 2 secs... my mum doesn't want me to spend anymore money.. and my bf doesn't think there's anything great about the teal... loves cognac most (but i don't) and thinks the purple is second...

i used to say that I would definitely get a white spy bag because i think it takes the boho look away from it a little and makes it more classy.. i'm not so into boho... and already have balenciagas to cover that look...

but i love purple!

so... i'm basically VERY VERY stuck. and i'm going out of my mind.

Thanks lily for adding the missing pics I think I'll resize all of the pictures and put them up on some webpage, and add as new ones are released/found, so theres something new spy fans can reffer to.

Thanks for all the karma everyone!

 

[Guessgirl96]

Dont mean to be beating a dead horse with the pics, but I put them all up on webpage so they can be reffered to easily if anyones looking for it, and can be edited as new spies come out. Heres the page:

If anyone wants any of their pictures removed, please let me know. Or if anyone finds new spies or better pictures of the ones I have up and want them added, let me know as well

^Great job, guessgirl, that site is now on my favourites list

waterfalls, I was going to recommend you a petrol spy since that colour just pops and is, imho, the lovelist of all the plain leather spy. In fact, if I had waited, I would have gotten the petrol spy if not for the fact that I owe one already!

But based on your post above, it sounds like you're taken with the taupe/purple or the cream white/black? If so, just decide between the two, buy what you love, instead of what others think is good..so that you will really carry it always.

that's a good point princess! definitely buy what you love. otherwise it will just sit in your closet unused.

I thought I'd post the pics that the Fendi store in Sydney at The Rocks sent me. Just for anyone who wants some good pictures of an authentic spy

The pictures are of the white, "natural" as they called it and cognac colours.

Also... I get my dark brown spy next week!!! I can't wait

Reducto, thanks for the pics! That white spy is the first one I've seen with texture in the leather. They're all gorgeous!

 

[shopping247]

thanks reducto!! you are making me want to get another spy now!!

ladies, is the top one also called "honey" color? if so, i am in

...in love...

yup, naturale = natural = honey

 

[Guessgirl96]

Thanks for the pics! I looove the white, but can't imagine keeping it clean.

 

[shopping247]

gosh gosh, now i want a honey color! how come the pics from NM, saks, and elux make the honey look so orangey?? if it really is less orangey like the photos that reducto posted then i am definitely drawn to the bag. is the wisteria spy in that honey/natural color?

 

[waterfalls]

Hmm.. that's the problem girls.. not sure whihc one i love... it's between the taupe and the white with black handles.. but i think i'm going with the white iwth black handles.

Apparently... this will not yellow if i don't put in the sun..and if i use leather protector...

i've read that we should use "appleguarde? or something like that for spy bags? does that work on white colour as well?

Yes, the white looks amazing in the picture!! I could have chosen the white, but keeping it clean would be a nightmare. I'll post pics of my dark brown one when it arrives

reducto, thanks for the pictures, but you may want to include watermarks on them to prevent counterfeiters from stealing your photos and using them for unsavoury purposes. As for the Fendi store at the Rocks, are you referring to the concessionary at DFS Galleria? If not, where is it exactly at the Rocks? I have been to Sydney a few times but I am still unable to locate the Fendi store!

waterfalls, I think a lot of people use appleguarde to clean/condition their bags in general. There's Vectra also, which is a leather protectant spray, but I am not sure if anyone has used that on their spy yet.

Yes, I was referring to the concessionary at DFS Galleria. Thanks for the watermarking tip.. I didn't even think of it. Although the photos technically belong to Fendi at DFS Galleria, I don't want people to use them for, as you said, unsavoury purposes!

more photos of the gold/silver spy on ebay (6863721251). looks like the braided handles aren't just one uniform color...very interesting looking.
