wuahh missmaya I love your ruby b bag I can't wait till my first ruby come...
T&D just mentioned to me that aqua is replaced by 05 turquoise color,... hmm I think it's still a good color (looks like kelly blue jeans color to me) what do you all think about this color change? (any of you ordering aquamarine like myself)? bad thing is it's only in RH I want aqua in GGH =(

so they're doing 05 turqouise isntead of aquamarine?

 

[amethyst_sparkle]

^ yep!

 

[chicca]

I've got this morning the same email..I'm a little bit pissed off, not for the color but again you don't get the bag that you've ordered..I don't what to do..should I keep the work or chage it for a first? I adore turq first it's the perfect size for that color, here's the pic that they sent to me :

I agree...it looks like a strange mix of aqua and turq...
How come we can't figure this one out....
Is it possible the previous owner re-dyed it?

Also, wouldn't the serial number tell us definitively if it's an '05 or an '07?
Someone should ask T&D...

good thought regarding serial number

 

[wannabemk]

what! theyre doing 05 turq instead? thats my holiest of holy grails....although that pic dosent look like it. im emailing them to see if its too late to order one

 

[ashionista]

I've been wanting turq forever! I also just emailed them about it. Why do they keep changing their colors?

 

[kimair]

the guys said they bought an 07 aquamarine from ebay to match the color, but they didn't have a chance to talk to the factory before they sourced the color...
obviously the factories don't have the exact color leathers balenciaga used, T&D are trying to get as close as they can...
that was the issue they had with pistachio...
i did email them about the tag...i'm not sure if the bag is with them or at the factory...

 

[Orchidian]

I'm sooooooo pissed off at the email I got from NBF regarding changing it to turquoise. I was very exited about aquamarie and think its a gorgeous color. I was also psyched about GGH.

Do you guys think the will ever make the aquamarine? I'm seriously considering cancelling.

 

[mcbutterfly]

i was really excited to hear that t&d are doing turquoise 05 but the color doesn't look like 05 turquoise. i don't know if i should get this color or not. it doesn't look like any balenciaga color

 

[baby_yorkie]

on those bags w leather tag, the only way to know the year and exact color is the PAPER tag, and i dont think the authentic bag that TD bought came w a paper tag.
the bag from the ebay listing looks more like a turquoise, but the picture of their DAY chicca posted IS AQUAMARINE.
again, might be the lighting...

 

[couturecandystor]

It looks like the lovechild of the 05 turquoise and the 05 teal.

 

[babybluestar]

I'm freaking out right now!!! '05 TURQ?!?!!!?? Holy grail is right!! I pre paid for two aquas so I'm stoked to get two turqs!!

Yipee!!!!!

 

[babybluestar]

baby_yorkie: They've never made aquamarine before so how can the Day in that pic be aqua?? If that's what they made then that's what we'll be getting. Regardless of what the bag on ebay looked like, the color of the Day is what we'll end up with. Unless you mean the pic chicca posted is aqua but not T&D's aqua?

 

[MissScarlett]

^^bbs, I think that is the bag they purchased from ebay, not their actual produced bag... if that makes sense i was confused at first, too!

 

[couturecandystor]

05 turq for reference.

I just saw MissScarlett's post - if they bought the bag used from ebay, its entirely possible the bag T&D is showing WAS turq once upon a time. The above pic is my 05 turq day when it was pretty much brand new...unfortunately, it looks to be a completely different color now (its going off to lovin my bags after the holidays for full restoration!) - darker and not as vibrant. kind of similar in color to T&D's ebay bag.

i'm glad i didnt pre-order an aquamarine.
it would be bad if T+D tried to mimic the color of a bag that has been re-dyed.
