i would request additional close-up pictures of the hardware (notches, rivets, bales, etc.), the interior tag and the authentication tags if the seller has them. best to cover all of the bases, better safe than sorry......good luck!

I wonder if this auction is for the same bag as seller had in this auction.
290048559692 last November? Seller is not showing any pertinent details and no strap or mirror; you need to ask if those items are included in the sale.

yeah, it's hard to tell with the pics removed from the november auction-you can never be sure what the heck some sellers are doing these days.

thanks for the pics!! I need a yellow or purple I'm actually waiting on a vert deau work from hgbags right now.

 

[MJCouture]

^so glad you went with the veart d'eau work GG! \
Am I on glue or is there no yellow? I see an orange and a light ecru....

 

[Guessgirl96]

it looks mustard yellow on the swatch to me, but I'm hoping it's lighter IRL. Otherwise I'm definatly going for the purple

 

[kimair]

here's a closeup of the yellow...also from hgbags...

the new bag is called the "step"

 

[sunspark]

^I will own that!

 

[Guessgirl96]

Hmm.. I'm not such of a fan of the yellow, I'll hold out for a banana yellow. I'm definatly going for the purple though

 

[esile]

i'm a bit disappointed in the colors... the same rehashed colors. this time they didn't even bother to rename most of them.

gg, i agree, i would love to see a banana yellow. maybe for s/s 08.

 

[Diggilooo]

The violet is gorgeous!!

 

[morriseel]

the yellow is not crash hot irl. THere is new giant hardware in silver which is really nice though!

 

[dannyboy0828]

i NEED an accessory in that yellow color! maybe a bag...

 

[leyla m.]

gg,

where are you getting your vert d'eau work from?

i finally GOT mine !!!!!
its such a nice colour but i saw 3 different vert d'eaus and they were all different shades.. but completely different... quite strange to see how it can vary from bag to bag. i took the darker one in a very smooth thick leather.
they also had the aquamarine which is a gorgeous colour but nothing beats the vert d'eau

 

[kimair]

congrats on your vert d'eau leyla...

i went to susan in san francisco earlier to see if they had anthracite, and they did in the work, which is a bit big for me...
they had 3 pieces in the vert d'eau, and the color is sooooo gorgeous...

 

[nat_attak]

yes yes yes!!! purple!!!i'm so excited

 

[Guessgirl96]

congrats leya! Im getting mine from hgbags on ebay (she somehow gets them slightly below retail, totally authentic tho), should be getting it in a couple weeks.

 

[Beautiful Stranger]

I'm almost wanting a le dix now! Almost..
