The Balenciaga Thread (June 2003 - February 2009)

[kimair]

the price of all moto bbags is going up by $100 (so the city which is now $1195 will be $1295)...
i've heard rumours that accessories and wallets are going up $50, but i have yet to confirm that...
bal ny said the increase will take effect with the pre-fall 08 bags, but some retailers, like neiman's, are raising prices on all in-store stock on may 12...
so if you have your eye on a bag there, i'd buy it now...

 

[fashionispoison]

yep kimair is right

 

[GirlOfMyDreams]

Do you know if it'll also affect UK/EU prices?

 

[kimair]

girlofmydreams...i imagine it will...i'd call one of the stores to find out how much...

my new (new to me) 04 khaki first...the leather on it is just amazing!

 

[fashionispoison]

kimair! congrats on finding such a gem, you are very lucky! enjoy her

 

[PrincessImp.]

Oh my goodness !
She's a beauty, kimair - congrats and I'll love to see pics of you with this gem soon!

kimair, ahhhhhhhhhh, they dont make bal moto leather like they used to..... it looks smoooooooooshy. my best leather is on a black first with silver hardware, the season they did the longer shoulder strap...spring 03 or spring 04.... i miss lp's site. enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tooshies]

kimair girlie, you've found it!!!!!!!! I'm so happy you finally did. It's gorgeous

I agree with chauss, Bal don't make the bags like they used to, so it's the best to own the oldies and move on IMO.

 

[fashionispoison]

she's finally mine!!

 

[tooshies]

Congrats, she's dreamy

 

[PrincessImp.]

fashionispoison, I'm envious! Your 05 turquoise is a killer, congrats!
The leather looks delicious.

fashion, congrats on a great looking( part time?) but, i dont think that is turq 05... the color looks more like from 07.

 

[kimair]

thank you so much fashionispoison, chauss, tooshies, imp and girlofmydreams...
i am becoming such a big fan of the older bags...
i carry this bag and my grey 04 city so much because of the soft, smooshy leather...

fashionispoison...that blue is stunning!! congrats!

 

[tooshies]

Oooh I'm so delighted to hear that you're loving Ms Gray
Seriously, pre 05 bags are the best IMO....

 

[fashionispoison]

chauss really?! hmmm i have the 07 aquamarine so it can't be...i need to find out!

 

[tooshies]

It looks like the 05 Turq in my eyes, just under bright artificial lighting.

 

[Jellylicious]

^^regardless--the color is gorgeous. it reminds me of the caribbean sea.

kimair--i just want to give your bag a big hug.

congrats to both of you!
