Just tried her site, and now it's asking for logon credentials. maybe she's just updating it...or changing to a password protected site..?

where can I get links for the most commonly mentioned sites/people? (catty/jacky/nbf/fang fang)

Also does anyone know who is best for YSL muse two's?

T&D RGGH almost here

DHL attempted to deliver one of my RGGH bags from T&D this morning, but no one was home to receive it - I can't wait!

Can't wait to see pics of your beauty! I am waiting impatiently before I place an order! Does anyone know which style they are doing in RGGH?

I received my Anthra city (first ever bag!) from the boys yesterday and spent a good while look at the bag last night. The leather is silky soft and very, very thin! I don't mind that since the leather makes the bag so smooshy soft and is very luxurious. On the other hand, I'm not too sure how such thin leather would wear, I'm very used to using bags with thicker leather. Mine has a good mix of distressing and veins, I don't fancy the marbling because it seems too much, some parts of the bag looks like the colour ran and has white patches on it. They are minor, I don't mind. But I wish I could have receive a bag like ame's.

The colour of my bag looks like a dark grey to me, I have only seen it at night under fluorescent light. It is also a bit shiny so I might get the reflection hitting back into my eyes but mine is not as dark as ame's too. I'm going to take some pictures and post them up here by the weekend.

I love how slouchy the bag is, the leather smells great (no chemical smell et al) and will recommend the current Anthra batch to everyone who is thinking about it. If you like thin, soft leather, this is the one to go for.

Hi, I am just looking at Joy's lambskin bbags which from photo's look really nice, and she has the color I would like, I was just wondering if anyone has bought a bal from her and how the quality was? TIA

Blair Warner- Please post pics of your RGGH

Kimkhuu-I think the boys are only doing the city in RGGH

Bisoubis-enjoy your new bag and thanks so much for that very informative post, much appreciated

They are doing city, parttime, work and day styles. But I believe I read on ioffer they don't have any RGGH left. They had only enough for 20 bags. I hope there's one left for you if you decide to get it. If not, I'm sure they will run it again soon.

Not to worry my dear! You just need to condition your bag. Leather Revive from Furniture Clinic is excellent for getting rid of marbling and shine and that will make the bag look a bit darker too. Apple Leather Care is a good product too and very inexpensive. I think Leather Revive works faster though in that it only takes one application and you see a HUGE difference. I think you'll be thrilled with your bag once you condition it! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about conditioners or the process. I've used both LR and Leather Care.

Bad news ladies regarding Catty. Her mother just passed away. Any suggestions?

 

[bisoubis]

Thank you so much for the assurance bbs, I'll hunt for Leather Revive as soon as I get the chance to. Will check back with you later once I get my hands on a bottle.

Oh dear... I'm so sorry to hear about Catty's mother. I hope she is doing alright.

My GRGH Part Time was just delivered by DHL (made it here from HK in ONE day!) and it is PHENOMENAL!!!!
The leather is AMAZING and the rose gold is a great complement to the jet black leather. I LOVE it-- I'm so happy I got one!!

 

[with.the.band]

with.the.band, Please post pics of your RGGH city when you get it!!! I am looking to order it too!

I'll post pics tonight when I get home (was too buggered last night to take out the camera). Using it today and it's worn in pretty quickly (2-3 hours) and doesn't have that stiff 'just came out of the box' look.

My black RH City came today. As far as size and hardware goes, she looks great! I'm amazed at how auth it looks. I just feel a bit uncertain about the leather and was wondering if you guys might have an idea since it's my first bbag and I don't have anything to compare it to. The leather looks so "worn in" that it's very cracked if you look closely. I've looked through the various previous seasons' leather pics in the other forum and I did see someone's '09 auth with the same leather...I just wasn't expecting mine to be this way. I thought it would be more smooth. I'm sure conditioning should help (I also want to matte the color down a bit) ...but is this the leather the rest of you have gotten from T&D lately in the black bags? It looks like with some wear it will look downright scale-y.

And an overall shot...

 

[Cherish]

HighHeeledLines: IMO it looks almost like chevre leather, which is like the jackpot of bal bags to many. Personally, I think it is gorgeous. You lucked out!

T&D RGGH review

Received my RGGGH Part Time & Weekender & Sang & Turquoise coin purses yesterday.

I must say I am amazed

RGGH is gorgeous - it feels exactly like my auth Bal GSH hardware. The
way it reflects light is stunning.

The black leather is so smooth & silky. A little bit shiny, but it
just needs to be broken in, worn & loved.

Turquoise is so gorgeous - love the intense color & distressing - the
texture gives it a rich depth.

Also love sang - its a perfect red - I regret not ordering a sang
first when I had a chance.

Pics to come.

T&D RGGH Part Time

Pic Courtesy of Blair Warner:

Your bag looks so yummy! May I ask it took how long you receive the bag since you place an order from T&D? I paid for my GGH PT, it has been one week, still have not heard anything from them yet. Is it normal?
For those who want to order GRGH, they out of all the hardware last week. That is why I placed an order for GGH

I know I promised to take pics of my RGGH City from NBF yesterday but I got home too late and the light was practically gone! But today I managed to get some pics in before it got too dark.

Comments on the leather: it's very very smooth, but not as thin as my Moutarde and Noix, but I really like this thicker leather, feels more 'pillowy' and substantial. It's a bit too shiny to my eyes so I'm going to condition it to bring down the shine a little. It's very finely distressed with gorgeous wrinkles. I know T&D use different cuts of leather for different parts of the bag, and I really don't like the bits they've used for the sides - it's very very shiny and definitely thinner, but I'm going to condition the sides more and see if it helps. Overall, I love love love the leather.

The hardware: looks pretty good compared to pics of the authentic (sadly I don't have an authentic side by side to compare). There's the bales problem, but I'm going to try to fix all my bales with pliers this weekend (will take pics of the results).

More pics on the pics thread soon.

^ Too late to edit to add this: you can see the different level of leather shinyness in the pic of me wearing the bag in the pics thread. The flash bounces off the leather quarter-circles at the top and the side almost looks like patent leather.

 

[babybluestar]

bisoubis: You're welcome! This is the one recommended here (that's how I learned about it) http://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/Leather_Revive.htm There is another product called "Leather Revive" but it's different so make sure you get the one above!


with.the.band: OMG!!! Gorgeous bag!! Thanks for the pics. Love love love this bag! This batch of black is just insane!!

Is T&D planning another round of RGGH bags?
