NBF said in an email to me, they will make the bracelet in both RH and GH! ^

from pinkprincess:


sorry for being **** but what do they mean by releasing? they dont even have the bag YET from COCO, right? so releasing here means "making"?
im not trying to use "word" with them, i just want to understand more clearly!
:D

/\ haha:lol: you're right the bag will not be with them till the end of march...:D if all goes according to plan and Cocos generosity...I guess they will have a "release" of Velos at the end of April:unsure:
 
So ladies...does this anthracite RH work look real to you?

I'm NO expert but for some reason all the bals on there site look like reps...Am i that jaded now?:lol: There prices would make you think that there authentic. Thoughts?


Yeah, Raffaello's bags are all authentic. I think the site is located in Europe.

Thank you :flower:
Just not used to seeing bags photographed in a "montage" like that...looked kind of cheezy to me:innocent:...hence i thought it was a rep site trying to be "creative"
 
talking about that picture from Rafflaello, i will NOT pay 1k for a bag that being present like that! all in 1 pic :( bad advertisement :(

just check the price again, 1706+shipping to be exact, YIKEs

I know right! thats why I thought they were suspicious :lol: I have seen pictures like that on ioffer from rep sites and thats why i was curious... I thought it could have been another one of those sac en ligne kinda sites...but I see the prices are the real deal.
(By the way that naughty web site sacs en ligne was shut down) lots of complaints about them on line.

Apparently bags from this site are presented on the "authenticate this bag" on TPF and it got the thumbs up, I guess it's just the way there photgraphed or something

Bagalicous-l've inquired about their bags in the past, they are auth but they use this funky photography as you stated above.

baby_yorkie & bagalicious thank-you :flower: for that info about the bracelets, l'm looking forward to getting my Outremer with GSH :heart:
 
Talking about Velo, baga and baby_yorkie, are you going to order it from T&D? If coco will get her real Velo in March and send to T&D, I think we are talking about April the earliest for production. I have a second thought about Velo. It is not like City/Work/Part Time which can be dressed up and down. For me, Velo is more casual due to its messenger looking. Am I crazy or too sensitive?
 
you know, nothing is set in stone unless u have the bag in hand. BLUEFLY had sold fake chloes before :( and it's one of the recommended sites for chloe :(
anyways, always pay w credit card (even through paypal) and have ur bag double check when u actually receive it. hassel much? STICK w REPs yall :D

back to topic :D i will have my last piece for the meal, the maldives short wallet. my family is completed (bag+CP+wallet)

SHOP: nope, im not into velo since they first came out, until now. however, maybe down the road, when i see more pictures of that bag well break in, i might. but for now, that square shape doesnt do anything for me

baby_yorkie- I agree I would not accept that kind of quality from the art dept. I think they wanted to be mod and it made the bags look bad :blink:
 
Shopholic-I agree in that the velo is more of a messenger style bag, though it can be worn in the crook of the arm, I would wear it over the shoulder or cross body :)

Velo is more of a casual bag. If one has alot of cities, works and part times it is a natural evolution. Messenger Bags are very popular right now and it was only right that Balenciaga release one due to the popularity. I am even getting a Coach Madison Spectator Hippie in Lavender for the Spring. I especially like bags like satchels that can be carried in the crook of the arm but also come with an extra strap to be worn on the shoulder. This is the direction bagmakers are moving in as peoples lifestyles require more functional bags. I for one love Messenger styles alot and find them very Metro Chic. I see them all over NYC on chic hipsters.
 
amethyst_sparkle: Read my post. I stated that I don't think the bags are worth more than what we pay for them. They are worth exactly what we pay for them because they are reps and not authentic. This is my opinion. Maybe you have sold your bags for what you pay for them or close to it, but I see alot listed on bagswap where people practically sell them for half of what they paid for -yes half of what they paid for and in mint condition.

Don't misunderstand me, I am very happy with my NBF bags. I don't mind a price increase if it is like T&D says that they are going to give us a better product along with faster delivery. I do however mind a price increase if it is going to be the same old song of pre-paying and waiting six months for a bag.

as far as re-selling, i'm not too concerned with that. as with anything, once you drive it off the lot, it's only worth x amount to whoever's willing to pay it. we're talking about fake bags here, not diamonds.

the price increase is fishy to me because t&d's QC is worse than ever. they constantly send people the wrong bags, which just seems careless. i understand they get busy, but they don't have half the clientele that jacky and catty have, and their (jacky/catty's) mistakes are far and between. yes, you might get a bad bag, but you are dealing with replica bags, so that's to be expected. plus, their (jacky/catty's) bags cost $120 - $150, not $200+. sometimes i get confused that i'm even paying $200+ for a fake bag!

t&d said the machines would increase the quality of the stitching on the bags, NOT that they will speed up the delivery process. they did say they're making the bags themselves now, but when they let such faulty bags go through (ship wrong orders to wrong countries; ship a bag with a missing stud), i don't know if that's such a good idea. i only say this because with my ame city debacle, the boys told me it was THEM who ships the bags (which surprised me when so many things have been falling through the cracks).

lovedbychanel - your bag is amazing! i was too late for that one! imho, that batch was the BEST for anthra and black. all of those GGH bags have that deliciously matte, thick leather. congrats! :flower:

100mph they will make the EC if we are some gals wanting them...
outremer gsh and sang ggh!

i am hoping they make both! :woot:

so no black velos? hopefully down the line....? i do like the velo in outremer, but i also want a work RH in outremer. i feel having both is too similar. :huh:
 
Happy New Year ladies! Received my order from T&D today.....can't wait to get home & reveal! Will try to take pics tonight from my phone w/ flash- will probably get better pics tommorow morning w/ natural light ;-)

thank you Coco for your generosity & trust - I don't know if I could send one of my babies all the way to Asia alone for a long amount of time - you are doing it for the greater good & I for one salute you :-)
 
Welcome Blair Warner && Cant wait to see what you ordered from the boys.:woot::woot:
&& Thank you Siren For the bag comment:flower:

does anyone else feel that the stitching is completely fine on t&d bags? i don't really see why they're upgrading this. i have compared NBFs to numerous auth bals my sister and i have owned over the past four years and the stitching has always been fine.

i am more concerned with the handles and simple things like a stud not falling off. for my ame city, the ropes aren't completely ame and you can see some gray where the rope wasn't dyed, i guess? it's miniscule, but it does bug me, yet i keep the bag because i do want an ame city with GGH. oh well.

the problem is, i don't want to say "oh well" to a $200+ bag. if you're going to boast your prices are what they are because of quality, then follow through with that quality.
