candy congrats to your bag. it looks great on you!

i have good news aswell: my first ever order of jacky arrived

candy i can't thank you enough! the quality is amazing. the bag feels really heavy for such a small one. i am in love

 

[bagalicious]

Angel- If you're concern is the most acurate HW match, I think GSH is the way to go. Having said that, I also own GGH bags, and do not feel any concern about the tone.
Unless you're comparing side by side to an authentic.

 

[thesiren]

i agree. if you are super picky about the HW, go with GSH.

nice to see you angel! hope things are well.

Guys... i don't know whats going on, and where along the lines that a few of you have forgotten tFS's policies.... but selling is against tFS policy.

Please remove all advertisements for your bags from your signatures immediately.

 

[candycandy]

sorry Luna, i removed it

luisa i'm happy you like it!
but did you mean Catty, right?

 

[lindalady]

WOW candy that bag is gorgeous.. how does the leather feel? mod pics pleaseee

 

[lindalady]

oh and between jacky and catty who has better lambskin ? or they're about the same?

 

[Mrie]

Has Jacky made the PS bag in yellow already? I wonder if Catty will have the PS Bag in Midnight Blue..

 

[candycandy]

thank you
the leather feel like the auth! just a bit more shiny, but it's perfect.
i bought only a mini chanel from Catty and the black leather is perfect too.
anyway i think Jacky has better bags than Catty

 

[madmurderermud]

look waht i received from Jacky yesterday??

That's gorgeous! Is that navy jumbo?

 

[tinkerbell88]

Thanks baga and candy dearest for the heads up!

Unfortunately I can't find the sapphire... was I too late or did the seller remove it? I'm not too upset as my priority and heart with lies with the step, day with giant hardware or brief GSH... anyone??

Too bad we cannot create WU accounts in Singapore or HongKong.. It would be so much easier than going to a branch outlet and feeling worried about sending my money across to someone without any way to leave my feedback. Anyhow, Congrats to all the ladies who found the PS Med!

hi ladyluke, are you looking for day sapphire from NBF?

candycandy your bag is beautiful!

What is the texture/feel of Jacky's lambskin like? How does the quilting feel?

As fas as NBF hardware - I have an auth GSH hobo & an NBF GSH Day - the auth GSH is shinier, and has a more textured "thimble" feel. The NBf GSH is a bit more dull, and the grooves of the thimble dont feel as deep.

but, on its own, I think the NBF GSH complements the Blue Layette leather excellently.

Someone else made the comment (not sure whom) that great reps & auths are like sisters - when they are apart it is hard to tell the difference, but together, their contrast shines.

I only have a Giant Money w/ GGH - compared to my friends auth GGH coin purse, it is a more yellow gold. I like it very much- its very "pop". But, I wouldnt mix a NBF GGH with an auth GGH - the contrast would be too much for me.

If the gold on my GGH rubs off, I'd probably paint it something fun - you ladies have inspired me to try new things & not treat my bags & accesories so precious

NBF's RH is spot on for auth Bal RH - In the future, I plan on ordering only RH from NBF. But, I live in NYC, and am surrounded by auth Bal (friends, co-workers, clients, strangers on the street etc) all the time.

If I lived in an area where I wasnt exposed daily to auth Bals, I would feel comfier ordering GGH/GSH. In any case, I prerfer RH on its own merits anyway

Today Annanyc and I are having lunch at my apt and we're finally going to have our GGH paint party..so aptly mentioned after blairwanrners post!
Annanyc has a authentic GGH bag and we have a few gold leaf paints to mix and I have some spare NBF GH to try before we go in and enhance on our NBF'S...we're going to use the "bagalicious dotting technique passed on to me from my great great grandmother) I am cracking up!
If this is a sucsess the formula will be up for sale haha on my website later!
No for real we will gladly share it...as we are prepared to go when no woman has boldy gone!

we will post before and afters of course!
Having seen the Auth cafe brief yesterday, the GGH looked almost rose colored on the rich brown....i think we might be on to a winner here! stay tuned.

Blair Warner: I have an Authentic Pommier Giant Day and the GSH Hardware that I have on my GSH Amethyst NBF is exactly the same. I do believe that T&D changed the way their Giant Hardware was made ( this is due to the fact that I sent them a Giant Authentic Day so that they could work on these details). The GSH that they are making now is totally different to what they used when they made your Blue Layette Bag and I can attest to that. I think that if you go with GSH you are okay with T&D. With GGH the color is easy to spot from an Authentic to a Rep easily. I do believe that the GGH that T&D is using it much improved and closer to the Authentic Gold Hardware that Balenciaga uses as they did make change to the Gold Hardware uses as well. I prefer GSH to GGH though as I am mostly a Platinum/Silver jewelery type of gal. Check post 2672 and Post 2674 for pictures of my T&D Amethyst Bag w/GSH. It is spot on for the Authentic including the Giant Hardware.

I too reside in NYC and as I see many Bal Bags here so I don't want to carry something that is a blatant rep. I do prefer RH to GH hardware as well but not because it is more spot on, even though that is totally true. I just like the understatedness of the RH and I don't like too much Bling in my life. I am a simple girl and RH suits me fine.

I am getting a Raisn Giant Day w/GGH and a Raisin City w/RH from T&D in the next two weeks. I will post and picture of it when I receive it so you can see the Giant Gold Hardware being used presently and compare. I don't know that the Raisin Day was ever made/sold in the US with Giant Gold Hardware. I do believe that it was sold in Europe with GGH.

candy candy- very fancy shamancy inded! enjoy her, I hope hubby takes you somewhere special so you can show it off.
last Saturday I went out for dinner to a very old school french restaurant, there was so much Authentic chanel and Hermes there I could barely breathe!

 

[arisaa]

The 2886 grey lambskin jumbo is sold out on jacky's website! Bummer...it looked so good.

 

[crystal7]

Oh yes,I know what you mean ladyluxe as I'm quite predictable too!So I think I'll be settled with black and natural
candy The brief looks gorgeous on you!May I ask how tall are you?
I'm only 1.63cm and I think it'll look too long on me.
crystal your city is so pretty and the color so neutral!I guess it matches with everything you wear.

Alkistis-thank-youI do love her she compliments everything I wear

Arisaa-thanks for comparison pics of rubisse and sang, nice to see

 

[crystal7]
