anyone saw the chocolate brenda on jacky's site? it has the older rectangular zips instead of the triangular zips.

I was going to ask if anyone had seen Jacky's new AW brenda in the "blue denim" color - it's awful!
there's no white highlights in it at all (supposed to look almost like acid washed denim).
but just checked on it a minute ago only to find out it has been sent directly to the SALE page.
like a bad film getting released as 'straight to video' haha..

Awww! Thanks couturerapture and oopsnow! So sweet of you
I love photographing storms too. I find them so invigorating and magical...but we get really intense lightening and thunder too, which makes me run and hide! I get so scared whenever there's a deafening "KA-BOOOM!" and the whole house shudders

In case anyone was wondering what the brief looks like on, I took some pics

 

[amethyst_sparkle]

Hmmm...attachments weren't working a second ago. Sorry for the double post.
For reference, I'm 5'9 and 129 lbs

amethyst_sparkle, you & your Brief are beautiful

 

[MaLena]

I agree with mm07, just gorgeous!

 

[pinkdolphin]

Gorgeous! The brief really suits you
Tempete is growing on me now - wasn't sure at first but the GSH looks pretty.
I so can't wait until August now

 

[amethyst_sparkle]

Thank you mm07, MaLena and PinkDolphin!!!
I love LOVE love LOOOOVE the brief. It's just insane. The leather on this batch is incredible. I feel like I've got a silky, satin stick of butter under my arm when I carry them!

TEMPETE! TEMPETE! TEMPETE!

 

[oopsnow]

^^ YES YES YES!

And I agree with everyone else, both you and your bag are hot!

Honey, I haven't eaten since 1979!

uiguu - jacky no longer has the union jack. i'm not sure he ever did it, i think that was catty.

Oh well, thanks anyway!

are we SURE they're australians or whatever because sometimes there seems to be a severe communication barrier. maybe it's just because they're men.

They are 100% Chinese. You can tell from their English, and the particular grammatical mistakes they make that are definitely not a native speaker's typos. I live in Japan and have got to know Asian people's English foibles... and those two are not Brits/Aussies/whatever they make themselves out to be. Plus, they misspelled 'Kirkcaldy' on their Paypal business name. (Kirkcaldy would also indicate they're Scottish, which leads me to another point: as a Scot, there are very few men named Tony and Dominic here!! ) I mean, I don't care what they call themselves - they've always been really nice over email - but I found it interesting that they gave themselves this persona in order to be less threatening/more approachable to their Western female customers...

amethyst sparkle: You look great in that Brief. Congrats! I never used to see people carrying BBags in my area but just this week I have seen a cognac GGH Hobo, Black City GSH and a Black Brief w/GSH. I guess now I notice them since I have a few myself.

For those who love the Tempete I have an Authentic Tempete City w/RH and I can truly say the color is amazing! It goes with everything and is a great neutral. This color was a must have for me and as I am not sure T&D are doing it so I purchased it.

Everyone: Thanks for all your kind words on my Amethyste Part Time RH!
It is truly a great color and I plan on carrying it even in Winter when the skies are truly gray here.

 

[pinkdolphin]

hmmmm...interesting uiggu. I would have sworn they were Aussies.
Would never have guessed they would build a whole different persona

I just love this thread. No-one quite undertands a love of bbags better than you ladies.
I never would have believed I would develop an addiction to bags this bad

i'm considering to buy LV or chanel wallet from jacky. is the quality really good,like can last for a few years ?

i saw that. hopefully the black denim version turns out well.

 

[coco109]

I concur. The bbags addiction is pretty bad and I am not sure that I will every be Balcontent.

Just wondering who has bought a speedy from either Jacky or Catty. Which would be the better to buy from for correct alignment? Or does it depend on their batch at the time?... I'm wanting the speedy 40.

They are definitely not Chinese, they can't even read Chinese.

For those that wanted comparison pics of 09 Officier and 08 Midnight/Marine, I found some pics on TPF.
Hope you appreciate them 'cos my internet connection is unbelievably slow - uploading and posting pics is a nightmare

All pics from TPF

Notice the yellower GH in 08, compared to 09.
07 Marine is slightly lighter than 08 I believe (from reading about it on TPF)

EDIT: Catty doesn't have any monogram speedy's. So has anyone got one from Jacky?

 

[coco109]

pinkdolphin: Thanks for posting these pictures. I will take either color if T&D makes it. I think that they are both equally beautiful and I don't see much difference. I think a Work or City w/GGH would be lovey in this combination.
