Any thoughts on Jacky's Tillie?

I just went to Neiman Marcus in Tyson's (VA), and saw that they had Balenciaga purses. I don't know what to think--they were very soft, but they seemed smaller than NBF's. Or at least smaller than my black city. The leather was very matte as well. Anywho, it made me feel a little self-conscious b/c I had my slightly shiny city with me. Anyone else experienced this?

Oh, and I also went to LV there. Jacky's damier is just fine. I was amused to find the damier canvas there kind of cheap-feeling? Can't really describe. It just was surprising.

It was a little lame to find that salespeople don't care about your questions/presence so much. T&D on the other hand, are sweethearts

boinquo.....Balenciaga leather varies so much. In my experience as an avid authentic buyer back in the day, I found that NM leather sucked! They seemed to get the crappy leather. I always bought directly from Balenciaga here in Vegas. Before I took the plunge and sold off the last of my authentics, I compared T & D's and I was very happy with their leather.....enough to sell off my authentics. I always chose the leather with shine. I think Balenciaga's use of leather varies soooooo much!

hi all,

i'm new here, and i've been looking around ioffer for bbags. anyway, i just wanted to ask about nbf bags vs. buyandsell? is one better than the other? or are they pretty much equal? hope someone could help me out! thanks

I don't know about buyandsell, but seems like everyone on this forum gets their bbags from nbf and everyone's very happy about their purchases. I just recieved my black city and I love it. Compared it to my authentic one, and imo the only thing that weakens the replica is the strap,because it's made from different leather than the bag. Also, it's a bit shiny, but so are alot of previous season authentic bbags

Agreed!!!! Many of my authentics were shiny! That's why I don't let the shine bother me. I think this year's might be matte, but my recent authentic from 09 had shine!

agreed, my auth 07 bals are still shiny....idk, the shine doesn't seem to wear off! i've worn the french blue...a lot! erm, it even sat in the backseat of my car all summer once...eek

there's such a variation in leather so i don't think any overzealous auth affectionado will be looking at the shine of your bag as a 'tell-tale'

as per buyandsell, i think i read somewhere that the measurements are off on one of their styles? was it the giant hardware work?

everyone here goes w/ t&d. unless you're wanting a color they aren't doing and neeeeed to have it.

Could someone please describe the Gris Fonce color? I know it must be gray but not sure if it is light or dark and the tone. Might add my name to the list.

coco109, the one thing I noticed was that the metal plates Jacky uses for the center and sides aren't completely smooth like the auth. Other than that, it looks like a good rep.

Who has the closest rep and dimensions of the Celine Luggage Tote? I've checked Jacky's and the dimensions seem off from what I've seen discussed on TPF.

Hi all,

I'm looking for a site that has Alexander Wang bags. Especially the rocco with a shoulder strap. Not an easy task to find it on ioffer... Could anyone help me? Also, did anyone order from from deluxe*****.com? They seem to have exactly what im looking for and not too expensive but I'm a bit afraid to order from a site i don't know.

amethyst_sparkle Many Congrats for your new NBF Bags...OMG they are gorgeous!!!!!The leather and colour are amazing!!!! I would like to have one too!!!!

 

[bakedbean]

amethyst_sparkle your new sahara bags are gorgy! I just got my city and its quite shiny - not matte like your beauties! please tell me that the lovely matte-ness has come from a moisturizing session???

Hi!

All those interested in Anthra rggh, great news! T&D say they will probably be making it. Same leather as this batch of anthra- true charcoal grey with no undertones. Just got my anthra gsh from this batch and it's great. They also said they will be making it with no lampo zipper, like the 2010 rggh bags.

im in a situation...NBF accidently sent my bag to someone else in the US and that person seems like refuse to ship the package to me or doing something to it because it has been more than 1 week and no tracking from her. she told NBF it was shipped last week which it should been here. im waiting everyday looking out for my package.
