Oh yeah...the handles do stretch out quite a lot...I think mine are totally uneven now...I'll get so anal and try to change the handle overlap every hour when I wear it on my shoulder to try to balance the asymetricity but it's still uneven...

 

[chauss]

oh do they all? the one I tried on did, but I thought she was just showing me the men's. maybe the color is good enough for me to look past that...

vert d'eau was the last color with short handles in WE. anthracite forward will have longer handles.

 

[MJCouture]

^thanks for the info!

well then, even more to think about.

 

[brian]

ugh,i don't know how i feel about longer handles!

teal '05 shoebag & comparison pics

this shoe bag is really can fit a shoe, but not wearing it for those i use it to carry things around when i'm i a hurry.

ok, the babuschka velvet clutch is DEF. not balenciaga, but i just got it yesterday adn looving it because it's as big as my satin clutch!

 

[chauss]

very nice comparison pix, sea!.....not enough WEs in pixs. bit, i love the mini coin purse.

 

[kimair]

^thats a very good point, I hadn't thought about that. That pic seems a little misleading, it is more on the blue side than the green in person.

i've been checking out pics of the anthracite at the purseblog site, and the color seems to have many variations depending on the light, like ink...
that's why i love it so much...

ALSO I found out today that they will only be making one weekender going forward, with the long ("mens") handles. So if you are like me and think its silly to get something with long handles when the handles stretch like crazy regardless, then act quick!

Wow...are you serious...I didn't think anyone would be against longer handles! I really wish they would do that on the Work and the Brief!

[Beautiful Stranger]

doesn't the giant hardware/studs make the bag heavier as opposed to the regular hardware? just wondering.....

They are quite a bit heavier with the GH... some styles more so than others ..

 

[bumcheeks]

Hi! Has anyone bought a balenciaga from styledrops.com before?

 

[Beautiful Stranger]

I would stay away from styledrops, heard mixed experiences.. What about lvr, my-personalshoppers.com or aloharag?

 

[Pinkie]

I know some of you don't trust bluefly but I have always gotten good bags from them.. this week they have been getting Balenciaga's GH .. work, city, brief, part time, mostly in truffle & white + a few of both sizes & colours of the quilted style. I ordered a white brief GH & it's the real deal... really pretty but it is quite heavy so I'm still thinking it over. They have been about $300 under retail & I've been finding 10 or 15% discounts which brings down the price quite a bit.

 

[leyla m.]

pinkie,

would you mind posting some detail pics of your bag

 

[Pinkie]

leyla.. I hate to say I feel like a total **** admitting I don't have a working digital right now to use so I'm of no help at the moment in showing you the details of the bag. It's very pretty but I've also bought an ivory/ off white Rive Gauche & Downtown ... so I'm in a severely altered mental state right now trying to decide which bag to keep... I Do Like ivory bags but 3 huge ones, even I cannot justify! By the way the Brief is a bright true white. If you are interested in any from them you have to keep checking back because people can hold them in their shopping bags for a hour so they come & go. I also got a brown Balenciaga money wallet which is a very usable size for about $350 with the extra discount. There are some great deals an YSL, Fendi, Gucci, Prada & other designer wallets on sale there these last few days. One saving grace with bluefly is you have 90 days to return & I've never had a problem getting credited for my returns (of which there have been many).

[kimair]

and like pinkie said, they're selling for about $300 under retail...
