[esile]

cheers, pinkie thanks for adding.

overall both city n work are great. so many decisions! i don't wanna start talking colours.

chic, unfortunately it doesn't stop at cities and works. you'll want more... and in all different colors. these bags are like crack.

Thanks luckyme. but i really want a box *pout*...

and i second esile... these bags are WORSE than crack. more expensive too.

anyone know when Balenciaga's will be going on sale again? I missed the last few from Browns, etc.

I'm specifically looking for a blue twiggy if anyone sees one on sale, let me know.

 

[chic_chick]

[jun3machina]

there's a teal twiggy on ebay.. but i'm not sure of it's authenticity..

 

[ingvildel]

^There's two, and they both look authentic to me. None of the bags are new though, so $1200 was pretty steep, right? $800 was a more decent price, even though it would be better if you find a new one on sale The item numbers are 150078647659 and 200054921987. Please check the authenticity with someone else first though, I don't want to guarantee anything.

 

[chic_chick]

150078647659 prob 800 or lesser coz it's 2005 and not really a popular model is it? n the other listing has no mirror!

 

[ingvildel]

I didn't read the listing proper, but I wouldn't pay $400 more just to get the mirror. Both the bags are from 2005... I have no idea if it's a popular model or not, but the 05 leather is nicer than the 06.

 

[chic_chick]

oo interesting i would want a complete bag though... any idea if any online stores will have sales on balenciaga?

 

[ingvildel]

I don't know about any online stores having a sale now, but if I do I'll post it here

 

[chic_chick]

thanks!

I would love to find a grey city bag. I've been looking at other colors and can't seem to find one I love more than the grey that was stolen from me. There's a grey work on ebay that looks authentic but I already have a bordeaux work and I like the city size better for me. I would also love to know if there are any left over grey bags from legitimate stores but I seriously doubt there would be.

 

[chic_chick]

Yes, unfortunately, a little over a month ago. What does the quilt look like??

 

[chic_chick]

i think i've seen lindsay lohan with it in a magazine pic.. will search thru mags tomorrow.. it's 2.38am here, need some sleep ZzzzZZZzzz..

I found a cornflower blue at Saks. The sa will ship it on Jan 11 when they have their gift card sale. Even though I'll be paying full price, I'll get some $ back with the gift card.

I could have gotten one at Barney's for 10% off since I have a new cc, or on ebay for a bit less but I just hate ebay and don't trust. Saks seems like the best deal.

I'm so greedy now with all the great sales that were going on lately I don't want to pay full price for anything!

Thanks for posting about those teals on ebay. The one looks to used and the other is way over retail.

i would say call around and see...
someone i know was looking for a sapin work, and i told her i saw one at neiman's here and she called and got it...
you never know...
sorry to hear about your bag that was stolen...

the anthracite is a grey, but apparently a darker grey with green undertones...

here's a pic of the quilted matelasse, from ateliernaff's site
