Just got my grass green GH from Paris. The SA there whipped out like 20 different colours when i asked for the city! i was confused and exhilarated all at the same time!

....Bumcheeks.....what other colours did the SA show you???is there any yellow or magenta?Fuschia???

pp, i was there not long ago and they just always have tons of stock plus the season before as well.. so they dont have new colours but they might have old ones

SS colors will be great IMO !
I focused on chanel bags last months but i really want to buy new balenciaga bags.
I really want the first in black as i have always wanted it but was always sold out when i could buy one.
And i really want the Weekend one ... I want a blue one ( such as sky blue or something like that ) or in black. I really hesitate .... i was in love with bordeaux several seasons ago.
I will be in Paris soon and i will buy one for sure. I already have the city in black the problem is that i don't know which one i should buy first. The first in black or the weekender ????????
Can you give me your advice please? ! that would be great

ps: if something can tell me more about the colors available in paris for the moment in the first and the weekender
thanx

 

[leyla m.]

hercule,
you will have quite a choice in paris. last time (couple weeks ago) they had about 20 colours in the first and about 10 in the weekender both in regular gold and silver hardware!!
i would go for a colourful one

 

[HERCULE]

Thanx. but which colors would you advice me for the weekender or the first.
I have to admit that i have seen the first in what must be a very light pastel green i can't remember the name of, and i loved it but i always end up with a black bag.
I am sure i want a black first or maybe something like bordeaux but i really want a blue one in weekender.

Does ANYONE know where I can buy a Steel/Plomb Day with the Giant GOLD Hardware?!!? I have searched everywhere for this combo and I can't seem to find it in the Day style! I was told it was made so someone must have ordered it for their store. I live in Los Angeles but I would order it from anywhere!!! Please tell me if you have seen it. Thanks!!!

 

[Jungla_Juana]

I think the light pastel green (vert d'eau?) in the weekender is the BEST combination EVER.

 

[kimair]

the colors seem to be getting a bit repetitive...
although they are perfect spring shads...

 

[Guessgirl96]

They are bound to do very similar colors with as many colors as they come out with. They didnt always do this many per season did they? I like this so if I miss out on one color, I can get a similar one later. I'm patiently waiting for a ss 05 apple green and turcoise looking color so I can get them in a larger size.

 

[fashionispoison]

^ me, too. waiting on yellow, violet, pink, turcoise and my bbag collection will be complete~ or will it....

 

[Vista]

I'm dreaming of bags in anis and seafoam.

I could get a Vert D'Eau since it reminds me a lot of the seafoam, but it's not one of my top priorities right now. There was a gorgeous brown Bal. messenger bag in London that I had my eyes on, but I bought a bag from Prada instead. Maybe there'll be some similar messenger bag and color next year or the year after... If so - I'm def. getting one.

I need some help. Is bleu glacier the same color as Periwinkle? I was on styledrops and saw a city listed as azure/lilac. When I spoke to the operator she could not translate the color into one of the balenciaga colors, but she said the color number was 4971. Is that bleu glacier? I really liked the 03 blue (denim color) that Kate Moss had and am trying to figure out if this is close to it. Any opinions? Thank you in advance.

 

[Guessgirl96]

blue glacier does look close to the one kate moss was wearing, but its a different color than periwinkle. that was last summer if I remember correctly

Thanks very much. I thought so too, but I am not very skilled when it comes to B Bags and appreciate your input.

tricolor arena bag

today i found about this gorgeous tricolor arena bag -
i know its not for everyone but i LOVE the colors...

does anyone know if any department stores carry this model?
and has anyone seen it on sale?

i know bal ny have them in stock, but it seems like they are from last season and maybe a dept store might have/had them on sale...??

these look like possible sale candidates because i can see that not everyones gonna fall in love with these.... even my friend who was with me at the store was like... um.. that??? you .. like..? that??? oh well

 

[fashionispoison]
