^ i agree!

i'm curious to see the new releases....

just went through my bags and realized that i hardly ever use the 2 classiques that i own- the apple green and the forest green from last year. thinking about selling them...idk for a while i had this thing for green and now i'm so over it. moved on to red. hah.

 

[leyla m.]

i wouldnt mind an apple green at all

Magenta was the first season that the leather started going downhill IMO, I actually think this summers leather is better.

I would also love if they re released ss05 turq and the apple green too. I have them in the classique and city but would really love a larger size. I've worn the classique about 4 times, such a pretty color but so so small

i have both magenta 05 and the turq 05 in the WE size. i also like the classique size for evening. why dont you try to plan outfits at night to include your small turq 05? it looks great with pink.

chauss,

how great would it be to see a pic of all your b bags ?

[Guessgirl96]

chuase, we seen to like all of the same colors! I dont have nearly as many bags as you but I also have the vert deau, magenta, turcouise, and apple green.

 

[Beautiful Stranger]

The magneta.. such a beauty!

 

[leyla m.]

oh thanks chauss,

im with gg, love the same colours. and would kill to have a big turquoise!!

 

[chauss]

thank you clu, gg , really beat strang and leyla!

gg, i no longer have apple green leather bals, but i do have an apple greenish bal canvas work size with silver hardware. they made a canvas line with black trim in bright yellow canvas and bright green camvas a couple of years ago.

leyla, i was a very lucky to find a turq 05 WE . at the time, WEs were not really mainstream bal bags yet.B)

 

[leyla m.]

chauss, it seems you have more b bags? any more pics too ?

i went to DSW today and saw a delicious yellow bag that looked like a bal yellow. then i saw a magenta, identical to the bal's magenta but it was a hobo. the leather on both were stiff but i have to say the colors were right on with bbags' colors. i looked at the tag and it said 'sabrina new york' for about $150 or so. i was soo tempted coz the yellow was gorgeous.if i didn't have the magenta and knew nothing about bbags i would have def gotten both bags. i tried looking the bag online but no luck.

 

[spiralsnowman]

Clucreciala, which DSW did you see those bags at? I live in L.A., if it's the one in Pasadena I'd like to go check 'em out (if only out of curiosity).

 

[fashionispoison]

^ i live in LA, too!! yes it's the one in Pasadena

 

[spiralsnowman]

^ Ah! Small world . The Loehmann's there is quite good as well, no? You know, I heard talk on another forum that a couple of DSWs sometimes carry actual authentic Balenciagas. Here's hoping!

powderpuff100 posted these pics from bny on the purseblog of the verte d'eau and the vert gazon...

Is the vert d'eau GH a work in this picture? Just wondering. I had never seen the vert d'eau with the GH, I kind of like it. On a seperate note, I wonder if the list for the magentas at Bal Nyc is filled up.....

 

[bohomamma]

What happened with Aloha rag, they dont email their catalogues anymore?

yea, that's the vert d'eau work with giant hardware...

so far as the limited edition magenta's, if you want one, i would call bal ny and get on the list...
they won't charge you until the 16th, but i think the list is filling up quickly...
