I want to get the envelope clutch in Jaune - anyone know who has them in stock right now? TIA!!

 

[Jellylicious]

hey jan--long time, hope your bbags are doing well.
i saw the jaune envelope a couple of weeks ago at barneys at chestnut hill. it's gorgeous! give them a call!

 

[janyoung99]

Hi Jelly!! So good "to see" you again! Thanks for the tip on the jaune clutch. I will call them first thing in the morning.

 

[Jellylicious]

Good luck--fingers crossed...let me know!

 

[Guessgirl96]

I can only see a few of the pics Anyway I pre ordered the electric blue but I think I want yellow. I cant see the blue though.

 

[exoticarbcqen]

not liking any of the new colors, although I will most definiltey be getting a magenta with giant silver hardware and of course in a few weeks I am hoping to get a grape giant with silver hardware city and then Ill be done with bal for awhile.

Nordstroms has a violet envelope clutch with SGH..I have a yellow and a purple one and will get a red one in the next week

ohh bright colors! great for spring/summer. although i prefer fall/winter colors.

 

[janyoung99]

Good luck--fingers crossed...let me know!

Jelly, I called and they still had the clutch in jaune! I hope I like it IRL. I haven't been a big fan of the GH - but when I saw some pics of the clutch with GH, it grabbed me. We have a Barney's in Atlanta so I can return it if I don't think it's all "that". Thanks again for the tip!

 

[Jellylicious]

YAY! I'm so happy it is still there. It's a beautiful color and it stands out quite nicely in that clutch style. Hope you'll love it. Post pics!

I love the yellow clutch w/ GH. So pretty!

I have two questions:

#1, Is there a better place than BalNY to waitlist at? Recently, I've not been v. pleased w/ the service there but I would keep putting up w/ attitudes if it meant knowing for sure that I'd get the bags I want.

#2, Are the stores already taking names for S/S? I have in mind the bubblegum color.

Where can I buy Balenciaga in Los Angeles / Las Vegas??

TIA

very bright colors!
i am a little disappointed with magenta. i was hoping it would be closer to 05.... but it is still nice. right now, i am leaning towards the electric blue, yellow and magenta....

 

[Mona13]

congrats on your violet city, CB
can't wait to see pics!

 

[oceanharlot]

bouton d'or ? gold button?
that color aint like no gold I ever seen before. more like electric neon yellow to me! more like daffodil

 

[PrincessImp.]

I really like the yellow for S/S 08.. it's more what I had in mind rather than this season's marigold.

 

[leyla m.]

yayay!!!
turquoise finally!!!!

thanks for sharing

 

[mrj64]

Gosh, that magenta and BG are 2d4!
