CB--congrats on your first! That is just gorgeous!
Hmmm, is this a start of another collection?

The new turquoise looks tempting and bouton d'or with GH will also be quite amazing.

 

[chauss]

ciao, great first choice.

Thanks Jellylicious! One can only hope!

Orignally posted by chauss: ciao, great first choice.

Thank you chauss...I was really hoping for a fabulous purple IRL and it really is beautiful...oh and the leather...heaven!

oh wow C...that bag is gorgeous! you have started out with two beautiful colors

 

[kimair]

ciao bella...what a gorgeous first bbag...congrats!!

thanks for the swatches mona...
after seeing the swatches, i'm still not feeling most of the s/s colors...
vert thyme is interesting...as is bouton d'or...
it is very acid-y yellow...

sahara looks too much like sandstone/mastic, and vermillion is just like s/s 07...
and sky blue and bleu liturgique look almost the same...
bal needs more variation in their colors...

i also saw on tpf that they are doing limited edition floral print bags...
the styles are the city, brief and weekender, and the prints are as shown below...
no word on hardware...it's usually shiny silver for print bags...

CB - congrats! LOVE the first addition to your balenciaga collection!

Kimar - i have seen pics of the floral bags. let me see if i can find them. they are nice, but a little too floral for me...
i agree the colors are repeating - what about an orange color! (maybe f/w 08)

^^^^ Hmm, I wonder if those will be nice?
I have a feeling they will be either really beautiful, or they will be the most motley shameless things ever.

For some reason I almost kind of like the second one, a nice turquoise-y green, and the bright yellow, that might be nice.

I wonder what the fabric will be, some kind of silk or satin? Hm, I wonder if it would be something that would be more pliable that past fabric collections, something that could slouch.

Thank you exoticarbcqen! I am really looking forward to my mint Vert Deau City.....have a spot ready for her arrival...........

 

[fashionispoison]

CB your violet is a beauty! congrats! the leather looks so smooshy~ i am still waiting for mine =(


ohmy the LE floral bags look like the fake ones that were made back in the day...definitely not on my wish list

 

[fashionispoison]

mona13 thanks for posting the swatch! ooo the yellow looks so much better than that pic i posted...hmmm i like the BG and yellow so far...

 

[Red Sole]

Ciaobella-congrats on your violet city!!! She's beautiful!!!

 

[kimair]

wow...it's a bit too much with the giant hardware...
i was tempted to get the striped damask city from s/s 06, but i knew it would get too dirty...

 

[leyla m.]

CB,
congrats to your first bbag; love it!!
my first one was also a similar colour. the eggplant first

mona,
tks for posting.
i am really really feeling the green with big rose flowers !!!!!!!!!!
but different shape of course.. brilliant for where i live in the summer time

actually they remind me of the Gucci ones. first season of those massive flowers that tom ford it. i still have my original hobo (that must be my first limited edition/hype bag)

 

[Jellylicious]

Ooh...i'm not feeling those for me. But i can see them working against light summer clothes.

 

[exoticarbcqen]

ok, those bags look like a art project gone terribly wrong.

 

[lucky star]

I hope they do those in RH also. The GH is just too much. It makes it look too plastic-y. I'm still betting on the yellow and blue one though.

 

[Filippa]

^ Neiman Marcus, Saks, Barneys...and there's going to be a Balenciaga flagship store soon in beverly hills

Thanks fashionispoison!
I hope I find a black city or work with gold GH...
