Has anyone seen a Day in Violet around recently? I was at NM Garden State Plaza and the SA told me they have no more Violet in any styles in the country. I did pass up a City with GSH so if it is yours, enjoy it Were any messenger styles produced in the violet or just the more neutral colours? I have my heart set on a purple bag; I can't believe I had not seen this colour until this past week.

eye candy!

okay ladies...i know i've been saying i'm going to post pics forever. well i finally managed to pull out some bags out of the closet today and my back literally hurts from all the pulling and shoving!

not pictured:
antrhacite GGH part time
black RH work
apple green RH first
aquamarine GGH city
rose pink RH box

i think i'm almost done with my collection. i really want to see the new yellow and pink in person AND really consider whether i want to do that or just try to find some i 03-05 bags. the ones i'll be giving up are the violet step RH, white brief RH and forest green first RH . the step is nice but i don't LOVE it and the shape is really not me. as for the forest green...well i guess i got it when i was going through a green bag phase and i haven't used it all nor do i LOVE it anymore.

Hi

Wondering if anyone can help me as I've become even more confused after meticulously reading this thread trying to bone up on my balenciaga knowledge...

I am looking to purchase either (i think) a City or Giant City bag. I'm getting confused by the dimensions of these two though.. are there differing sizes? I'm looking for this exact size in either the oversized hardware (this is called Giant City am i right?) or the normal hardware (City?) ***see below***. Also I am ordering this over the phone from the Balenciaga store in new york so I am wondering will I be able to just order this or will I be placed on a wait list. Also I am looking for this bag in either a medium grey, grass green, darkish blue, or black.. does anyone know if any of those will be available?

Thankyou for any help you can give me, and forgive my ignorance this is my first balenciaga bag purchase!

Hi booradley.... I have purchased over the phone from BalNY in the past..

I am not an expert however can offer some help until another Bal Lover checks in...

The City is a medium size bag (appx. 15in x 4in x 10in)... plenty of space for a large wallet, PDA/iPhone, Sunglass case, etc.... you should NEVER overstuff a Balenciaga...less in more.

The Giant City is the City with Giant Hardware....

A few acronyms...

RH: Regular Hardware
GSH: Giant Silver Hardware
GGH: Giant Gold Hardware

As for wait lists... they are for the new SS08 colors... you can call Bal NY and ask a SA for the current stock availability on hand and even request a photo of a bag you may be interested in

Lastly, here is a 'how to' link for Balenciaga... when I bought my second Balenciaga in store at Saks... I took this with me... HAVE FUN!!!

Beautiful collection fashionispoison!!!

i love that pic of Jenn Brill!!

 

[fashionispoison]

^ yah her shoes are hot.

booradley i would recommend ordering from a dept store over bal NY because of their strict return policy. as for the colors you're looking for...grey hasn't been produced for 2 seasons now but you might be able to find one. black is probably going to be your best bet...and pine green was made in FW07, try calling around. good luck!

what is "Miz bags behavin" and how can I order from them? I would be interested in 40% off bal bags...

miz bags behavin' is a tFS member...
the store susan (in san francisco and burlingame) had balenciaga bags at 40% off, but i don't think they have any left...
you could try calling them though...
(415) 922.3685 is the san francisco store
(650) 347-0452 is the burlingame store

fashionispoison...great collection!!
ciao...you're really rockin' that weekender!

 

[Diggilooo]

Fashionispoison that is one h*ll of a collection!

 

[leyla m.]

ciao,
im loving your rouge weekender. i actually carried my weekender the most out of all B bags i own

clu/fashion,
love love love your collection.
i love the diversity. if you ask me it reflects some parts of you.. which are good
some people buy 5 of the same bag (same colour ) so its refereshing to see so many styles and colours

 

[Ciao Bella]

Hey leyla... ok, so question... I just assumed my new WE was Vermillion...do you think it is Rouge? It is an orangey/red....?

TIA

Hi kimair...thanks for the kind words on me WE!
