The Balenciaga Thread (June 2003 - February 2009)

^ Kimair..when will those colors start coming out? I want a electric blue envelope clutch and a magenta first.

I CANCELED my LE magenta with giant gold hardware...they said they have no idea on the status and dont know when they will be in. She said they are getting in a shipment tommorrow but doubts the magentas will be in there.. what crock. I cant believe I waited almost 6 months for the bags. I could have bought myself a different bag with that money. Now, Im going to get the J12 with either diamond bezel or J12 with diamond markers and a chanel bag.

i can't believe they couldn't give you a date...
that sucks...
at least you can get your money back and get something else...

i believe those colors should start appearing in stores in late dec./early jan., but i'm not sure...
i think they're technically pre-spring 08 colors...
there's also 3 colors missing from the list that are the s/s 08 colors...

Well girls, SHE arrived today, my VIOLET City with RH. I'm a purist and don't like the GH, sorry, just not my style. Anyway, maybe purple is appearing everywhere but I don't care because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the color. The leather has just the right distressing and I'm in LOVE. I'll try to get some photos for you in just the right light.

congrats miz bags!! can't wait to see pics!!

i found out more info on the pre-spring 08 colors...
i inquired about the vert thyme and sahara...still waiting to hear...

Nero- Black
Vert Thyme/Salvia - Green (more on the sage side)
Bleu Electrique/Bluette/Bello - Electric Blue (similar to 07 french blue)
Sky Blue/Azurro - more purple undertones than 05 sky blue; looks more periwinkle
Magenta/Fuxia/Ciclamino/Nuovo Bello - much brighter than 05 magenta; very hot pink
Bubblegum/Rosa Bubble Gum - more like a salmon color, more dull
Bianco - White
Sahara (Beige Sabbia) - Neutral Sand

Sky Blue/Azurro (Sky Blue) - darker than 05 sky blue
Magenta/Fuxia/Ciclamino/Nuovo Bello - Magenta
Bubblegum/Rosa Bubble Gum - Pink/peach
Bianco - White
Sahara (Beige Sabbia) - Neutral Sand

Hmm, I wonder if the pink/peach will be nice. I hope its not too pink, it kinda sounds like the ss05 bubblegum. I hope it leans more towards the peach. The darker sky blue sounds kind of nice too.

[fashionispoison]

i wonder what shade the pink will be

 

[kimair]

vert thyme is a true army green...
sahara is similar to mastic but more yellow undertones and a bit lighter
electric blue is more like a bright royal blue...

I love her!
