[crystal7]

finally it took me a while to decide but I have ordered a sorbet twiggy, I will post pics when I receive it, Kxm911 your right it looks too cute to pass up

madmurderermud- Both alexa nude and AW rocco are great bags but they are very different my preference is the AW rocco cool bag B)

Beavercall-nice to see you

I am loving Sorbet!! A Twiggy would be cute as crap!

Does anybody out there have a Sorbet and a Framboise they could do a side by side for me?? I have a Framboise City... how close are they IRL?

my pic: framboise vs sorbet

Welcome! If you've been reading here long, you probably already know that T&D (aka NBF) are definitely the best for Balenciaga reps. There is actually quite a difference in the City and Work in size, so you may want to look at modeling pictures to decide which one is more suited to you. Personally, I'm very small, and the Work just totally overwhelms me!

I don't know about Mogano, but I believe that T&D will be doing runs of Black and Anthracite bags soon - you should get in touch with them if you want to be on the list for one of these bags - they do tend to go quickly!

Thank you for your help! Over the past couple days I have finally finished reading part #7 of this thread. I plan on going back further in depth once school is back in session. I did leave a message for NBF this morning on ioffer asking if and when they may be getting these colors in. I would love to be on a wait list. Their ioffer store doesn't have a whole lot of selection right now--I am so not a pastel person. I found more reviews of their bags on the net--they are indeed well known for their quality of bags and their customer service! I am excited! I was googling them hoping to find some other way of contacting them as ioffer won't allow me to email them or leave my email so they can contact me. I don't like leaving messages on there that will never go away, kwim? They have to have more inventory than what is in their ioffer store, as I am so not a pastel person.

I absolutely will do more research on the size of those two styles. Just for reference, the LV Speedy 35 is perfect for me, I ended up selling both my 30's and repurchased 35's. I also have a Cabas Mezzo which is pretty large and the size is perfect for me. I was in the Las Vegas Neiman's the other day looking at their Bbag selection, but it was a slow day I guess so the SA never left my side. Every bag I picked up she proceeded to tell me the history of and how rare it was which of course I didn't ask for. SO irritating! I left pretty quickly and didn't even have time to figure out what size/style was what. Sigh.

Thanks again for the suggestions.

Hehe - Hi again girls - hi crystal7 :-)

Pink - I used my VD Day non-stop for a month, and it's held up better than I thought! Beijing summer is sooo hot, I probably got it covered in sweat now. During World Cup, someone spilled beer all over it (!!!) but it dried up very quickly without leaving any stains at all - amazing!! But it def. shows wear on the corners, and I got denim color transfer on the back from my jeans -- I think that's unavoidable. However, if you're adventurous, you can always hand-wash it (like I did before - heh) I've never had any problems giving my b-bags a bubble bath and they always turn out squeaky clean again.

Just got my Galet GGH city -- love the beigey undertones in this bag. Reminds me of Sandstone a little, which is one of my all-time fave colors. Will try to take pics tomorrow. Been a bit busy lately moving into my new flat. Just hope I can capture those sandy undertones!

JGould- I think a city would be too small for you. I have a speedy 30 and the city feels smaller than that! You can't wear a city crossbody. Go for a PT if you want to wear it crossbody and that size seems to fit your needs more. I would suggest a work since that's bigger than the PT, but that does not have a shoulder strap- just 2 handles that you could slide wear on your arm too if you like that. Just get both!

Beave- Thanks for the info- my NBF black city has gone through hell too.. and still shows no wear after years!

[Sarahldn]

Hello everyone,

which product do you use to condition your T&D's bag ?

I want to improve the leather of my outremer work RH, this colour is so beautiful and I

don't want it to change! thanks

 

[FashionGirl87]

At the moment i'm tracking my latest Jacky order: the cobalt SC (jacky told me that the handles are now sewn on, not just glued) and a black bayswater - I should hopefully have them in a few days

ohh, and thanks to the lovely TFSer who invited me

Can't wait to see your bayswater! I want one as i feel its much more manageable than a Birkin. As much as i want a birkin-i'm not classy enough to pull one off!

 

[boinquo]

moobasgirl, I'm so excited to see pictures of your cobalt SC! And the bayswater! Man, so excited.

I would like to know--those of you that *do not* condition your bags--have you seen a difference over time vs those that you have?

 

[boinquo]

And if anyone has bought J's damier azur--I remember hearing back in a few forums back that it was off--has he corrected it? I know azur is a weird color to make.

 

[puggysgirl]

I got a azur wallet from Jacky last week and the color looks spot on to me. I love it.

Hi to all our new members

amethyst_sparkle: Wow that's one gorgeous Alexa! If I wasn't a super scruffy pale bag destroyer I'd so want one

madmurderermud: I'm with crystal, go Rocco!

 

[parkmin90]

Hi girls! It feels like years since I last posted on here. It's nice to see new members and older ones still on here.

I recently got Jacky's Mulberry Alexa OS in Oak. It's absolutely fabulous!!!!

 

[moobasgirl]

Shousesame - that's great to hear about the SC! I can't wait to receive mine!

 

[boinquo]

So many people getting the SC! CAn't wait for pictures! puggysgirl, thanks!

 

[PinkPrincess113]

Thank you. Does both the PT and the Work handles fit on the shoulder the same?

I would love to get both.

 

[baby_yorkie]

handles on PT and Work are longer than city and will fit on shoulder

After looking at 567,845,897 pictures today, I am for sure leaning towards a Work. Although the PT is nice because of the strap, I found that I appreciate the styling of the Work w/o strap better.
