devon: What are you getting? I can't wait to see. I ordered an Argent Part Time w/GSH from T&D but have not received it yet. Hope to get it soon.

I'm getting an Anthra RT RH and an Argent RH City.
I can't wait to see what they will do next, not this batch w/ praline but next lol
I'd love to get a Black City or PT w/ GGH, but ultimately I'm holding out for Marine (or other Navy shade) with GGH or GSH.

Hi, I think the swift leather in comparison to the auth from Beausic is beautiful, especially if you are going with a dark color like black. Are you looking for H sandals? There is a vendor named Rios that makes H sandals, and actually he obtains almost all of his Hermes products from Beausic, when I send funds to him, he has the same last name as the sender for Beausic. Rios also carries beautiful Hermes Birkins.

Please would you PM me Rios details thanks.

 

[ohhhhhmy]

here is a picture of the handles on my bag. the leather is wrapped too tight around the handles. which is something the boys should fix.

ohhhhhmy: the string on your handles are tied a little too closely together but they don't look too bad

if you look at the turq and praline comparison pics that socaligurl80 posted, there's a MUCH bigger difference in the handles. They're bound together with double string and are done too closely together. Also, on the turq, it looks like with the authentic the string/rope used is a little bit lighter than the actual leather whereas T&D seems to have done theirs with a darker colour.

This might not be a big issue with most people but I'm just pointing out what I noticed. Its funny because when I emailed T&D, I specifically asked them about the handles and they just brushed it off and said that everything was fine and they didn't know of any problems with it...

 

[amethyst_sparkle]

Regarding the flat clutch, I asked the boys about it and they said they have tried to make it and haven't been successful (not sure why it seems simpler than the others?) so they aren't going to do it. (This, like everything, could change).

wow they're so funny with how radically different their responses are to each of us sometimes...here's the e-mail I got this morning:

We don’t have the pattern so if the girls want to get together and buy a real one and send it to us then we’ll definitely run it.
Let us know what they think.

*T&D

...so, they've tried to make it without the pattern and it didn't work...

anyway, does anyone have a flat clutch they are willing to let T&D borrow??

 

[Funkyshow]

Ohhhhmy I see what you mean. I've also ordered an Anthra and still waiting for the tracking number.

If enough of us mention it to the boys maybe they'll do something about it. BTW has anyone compared the handles to the auth?

 

[lanabanana]

ohhhhhmy - your handles actually look pretty good...

 

[lanabanana]

amethyst - i know! it's kind of maddening. i would looooove a flat clutch so if they WILL do it i'm definitely on board.

 

[Funkyshow]

If you're a Chanel fan, Jacky has some great bags on Special offer at the moment

lanabanana posted some comparison pictures of the handles. its post 313 on this thread.

 

[jaydotcee]

I agree, I'd rather my handles turned out like yours ohhhhhmy then for them to be double roped because I think that's a very obvious giveaway...

 

[Snow-White]

just curious, anyone have an idea of how much it costs to manufacture a Balenciaga - just the cost price?

 

[jaydotcee]

oops. I think I'm a little mistaken. Ignore my post about the handles. The giant hardware ones are supposed to be double stringed. Sorry everyone!

 

[FashionGirl87]

Must say ladies am slightly intrigued as to who this horrible TFSer is! And whoever it is one "the other website" that checks out our sellers,lol.

Does anyone have any opinions on the sequin Chan*l bags that both Catty and Jacky have? I quite like it but i'm thinking how to wear it and whether its a good rep? x

 

[FashionGirl87]

Oh NOOOOO! just looked on Catty's picasa site and she has both a patent bayswater and a Chan*el flap on there on special...ARGHHH why must i have no money until the end of the month?! DAM THOSE BILLS-I NEEEEEEED THE BAGS!!!!

i don't have a flat clutch for them to borrow, but i'm deffff interested in a flat clutch black GGH

are you talking about the moscow bags (the broken mirror motif)? i want this bag as well. i'm kind of over big bags, so i wish it were smaller, but i may do it anyway.

in the pics lana posted i thought the difference was very apparent. i was shocked at how different the handles were, but now seeing just one handle, i really couldn't tell you what was right or wrong about it. i looked at my own bags and i forgot what i was even looking for.

i think if anyone owned a flat clutch they were willing to let the boys borrow, they'd come forward by now. i think that's a pipedream, but i'm not sure why t&d don't buy one since there's clearly a lot of interest (and has been for awhile). i'll ask them. i finally got them to buy the EC after over a year of whining, so maybe i can convince them to buy a FC. i'd like one as well.

TrendHaven: Jacky's Balenciaga would stick out like a sore thumb among people who know Balenciaga bags. Tse's Chanel isn't as good as Jacky's IMO and people here who know Chanel better than the Chanel SA's recommend Jacky for Chanel as well.

lanabanana: Did the boys give you any indication of when turq will be done (the Works that is)?

FashionGirl87: Ack! I know! I wish I had a 1k monthly fund to spend on bags!! So many fun ones!!

Oh, and someone (sorry, don't remember who ) asked if Catty and Jacky have the same Chanel....they don't. Sometimes they have the same bags from other designers (like LV) but their Chanel are different and Jacky def has better Flaps! HTH.

 

[ambidextrous]

when I asked a couple of days ago T&D said production of turq would take about 3 weeks
