The Balenciaga Thread (June 2003 - February 2009)

[esile]

looks like the GHs are sold out, but there's still the white and black courriers... and some whistle bags.

 

[leyla m.]

how can they be sold for so much less??

 

[Zarina]

I wouldn't buy Balenciaga on Bluefly, read this:

Zarina, I know all about the claims of fake Balenciaga & others but all I can tell you is that I have gotten a "real" Paddington, YSL, this Balenciaga, boobies, wallets, boots, shoes, jeans and "real" Fendi, Bayswater & others that I have returned because I decided against keeping them, not because they were fakes but because I didn't like them or changed my mind. I have many other b'bags purchased from BNY ,Barneys, NM, AlohaRag, even ebay and I wouldn't be fooled easily. I'm not telling anyone to go buy from bluefly but a deal can often be found there. They do have a 3 month return policy & shipping is only $7.95 on any order so it's really not that dangerous to purchase from them if you know what you are buying. Sometimes they actually have the sug. retail price too high but if you know the retail you won't be fooled. Last week they had a few "real" Chanel lamb medium flap bags priced about $400 to $500 under retail & I hesitated & missed them. Always use a credit card because they are a backup if you have a dispute with any retailer. . I'm not aligned with bluefly just trying to tell you of so good sale prices I've found.

Hi everyone, is the Vert d'eau same as Vert de Menthe (as stated on diabro.net)? All these names are confusing me! and is there a proper colour 'code name' for grey?

And also, does anyone know where i can purchase an anthracite city online that offers international shipping? the only place i managed to find it is on styledrops. I want 1 so bad!

HELP!!!

i believe vert de menthe is the same is vert d'eau...the pic looked like the vert d'eau leyla posted a few pages back...pic from diabro.net...

i have yet to see an anthracite city online, but you can try emailing luisa via roma or matches fashion as they ship internationally, but they don't post their balenciaga stock online...

zarina...i know alot of people that have bought bbags and other designer items from bluefly that are 100% authentic...

/\ I just got this vert d'eau color in the City style. There is no photo I've seen thus far that truly captures this color.......It is simply gorgeous in person, so seafoam-ish. Perfect for Summer. If any of you are on the fence about the color, GO FOR IT....you won't regret it. Just my 2-1/2 cents.

 

[Guessgirl96]

Bluefly gets their stock from lots of other stores which is why it's hit and miss. I think sometimes they have authentic bags but I'd still be cautious ordering from them

 

[fashionispoison]

still trying to decide whether i should get the vert d'eau in a city or part time...what do you ladies suggest? the only city i have is the black with gold studs...decisions decisions!

does anyone own a part time?

 

[Guessgirl96]

I preffer the city, I think the part time is too looong for its height

 

[leyla m.]

i also prefer the city.. looks more proportionate

 

[Pinkie]

I have the part time in Blue India & I've really gotten to love the extra room ... almost as much as the work but with a strap. I've never been bothered by the shape of the PT because the extra width really works for me as I tend to carry a lot around. I agree with Miz*Bags on the colour of the vert d'eau. I have the city too but I'm kind of wishing I'd gotten a work or voyager/weekender because there is so much more of it to love! I have not seen one in the part time yet but I'm sure it would be gorgeous.

 

[FashionJunkie]

^ i believe that city is by far the best size. First is ok but city looks better and work a little bit too big to carry everywhere.

GO CITY lovers!!!! <3

 

[fashionispoison]

ladies that own the vert d'eau

did any of u purchase it from a dept. store and not BNY? my NM SA is no longer working there =[ so sad! and i thought i'd found a great SA!...she referred me to her coworker but he's not really great at returning calls...but anywho..so far the ones i've talked to don't seem to know what the vert d'eau is...they thought i was talking about the other greens. i thought i'd found it at NM in newport beach but when i double checked to make sure it was a LIGHT green she was like...ohH yeah it's pretty light but it wasn't the vert d'eau! i would have if i got the wrong green. also...the NMs i've called only seem to have the part time vert d'eau instead of the city

just wanted to vent

 

[aurorac84]

hi guys here is my new '07 marine giant brief. i it! sorry for the pics!

 

[Pinkie]

^Got mine at Balenciaga in NY... Daphne is very helpful there & will send you photos of the bags you are interested in.

 

[leyla m.]

aurora,
great bag! congrats

clu,
thats awful...
but you know even at Bal Paris they dont know the actual names of the bag.. they told me my vert d'eau is called AQUA!!

 

[dannyboy0828]

that marine brief is so gorgeous! marine is my favorite color for the GH, and the brief is the perfect style for it, IMO.

congrats!

 

[kimair]

aurorac84...i love your brief!
that is one of the few colors i think the gh looks great with...congrats!

my anthracite twiggy came today, but i don't have my camera...
i still can't decide how i feel about the twiggy shape...
the color though is gorgeous...
my other bbags are a classique and a city, and i didn't want another city...
