^ go for it! It's a fabulous bag and goes with everything. Some may disagree but I think it's a classic bag. If you do get one though be very careful on ebay, theres lots of fakes.

has anyone gotten the vert d'eau (water green)? i am lusting......

 

[cavanaugh]

i really like the new bag shape, its really nicely porportioned.

 

[leyla m.]

clu,

i got the vert d'eau on my paris trip. it is really really worth getting if you can find it!!!

 

[Jellylicious]

I don't know why but somehow i don't think i can pull that color off. Is it a versatile color?

i haven't bought it, but i've seen it in person...
it's a gorgeous color, much more versatile than the grass green imo...

 

[leyla m.]

i agree with kim,

quite versatile as it blends in pretty well

managed to take few quick pics of the VERT D'EAU and the rest of my B Bag family

 

[lvbest]

nice family!! congrats.

 

[ellewoods]

I MUST get the yellow. I've been waiting for a new yellow for years!

 

[Jellylicious]

What a good looking family! The vert d'eau looks yummy!

leyla m. - gorgeous collection! The vert d'eau is an amazing colour

I like the bag, but i rarely like bags who so many highstreet-stores have been inspired of and there's so many fakes of. But some of the colours are really fantastic, so when i'm going to London (or Paris, still not sure) in 3 months, i might check them out. Thinking of a purple or grey medium or jumbo chanel, bayswater, bay, novak, one of the messenger-style le dix's.. Difficult.

Leyla, your collection is amazing! Esp. the biggest blue is fantastic.. Now.. If you don't mind me asking. How many bags do you have?

SPECTACULAR FAMILY, leyla!!!!!! congrats!!!

 

[kimair]

i love your family leyla...congrats!!
is the small one in the front an eggplant first?

i saw an anthracite first over the weekend, and i'm debating if i want to get that or wait and get a plomb in the fall...
the plomb looks like a darker grey, which is what i've wanted, but the anthracite is such an interesting color...

 

[leyla m.]

tnx everyone

lvizo, i know what you mean but the b bag is the only bag i feel buying tons of and still feel its understated enough. (also love stocking up on the Chanel 2.55 in all colours)

kim, yup an eggplant first and my favourite bag ever. the leather is buttery!!
i havent seen the plomb but it does sound very cool...

 

[fashionispoison]

leyla OMG love your collection!!! i am definitely getting the VERT D'EAU!!!

 

[mackenzie]

ok im interested in buying a bag from balenciaga but cant find an image of it. if you go to www.balenciaga.com and look at the handbags its the last image (image 11)...does anyone know the name or have a picture of it?? im going to barneys this weekend and thinkking of getting it in black...it looks very vintagey in the black!!

all input on the bag is welcome!! (im pretty much debating between that bag and a lanvin bag but prefer the balenciaga at this point)

mackenzie that's the envelope bag. here's a pic from the lindsay lohan's thread

[kimair]

clucreciala...lindsay's bag is not the envelope bag...
it's the lock bag from f/w 06...

mackenzie...i haven't seen the non-moto bags at neiman's or susan...
i'm not sure what stores received them...
your best bet might be to call balenciaga ny and ask them...
