Kimair-thanks for the tip. Unfortunately they only had rouge vermillon. So, I ended up getting a work sandstone from the B boutique. I don't know how I went from red to sandstone but I did. I hope I like it. I'll post pics next week.

 

[Zarina]

Ok, I've called everywhere and no rouge vif
However, they have rouge vermillon at the B boutique. My question is: has anyone seen this bag in person? The SA said it's a true red, but in pictures it looks orage, which I don't want. Any info would be appreciated.

I have the city in Rouge Vermillon and I don't find it orange. However they differ quite a lot in color - I took the darkest one.

zarina, that is gorgeous!!

kim, that B bag on the right was when i started liking the bags. am still annoyed i didnt take it in black and brown. they were practically thrown at me at the time

red, the sandstone is amazing. i am considering it too... it really a great colour!!

 

[Red Sole]

Zarina-I love your bag! I didn't buy one because of the color variations like you said. I'd have to see it first. I am glad you had the chance to choose from several vermilions.
Leyla-I'm gonna be a bad influence: get it

 

[leyla m.]

red,

if i could i would get every single colour... but i decided one a season is enough
waiting for the yellow

 

[fashionispoison]

^ i wish i could be as disciplined as you leyla. at this rate i'm getting one a week. my bf bought me the vert d'eau for my bday which is tomorrow i'm excited about the bag...not the bday

btw what is the correct way to pronounce it?! some SAs say 'verde', other say 'verdo'...

red sole the rouge vermillon looks good! i was lucky enough to be get the rouge vif work when it came out. did you go to TPF and see some of the pfers post their rouge vermillons? you might see different color variations with different lighting that'll convince you

 

[Guessgirl96]

How lucky! What a generous bf

I think its "verdo"

 

[Beautiful Stranger]

Zarina, what a beautiful bag! So rich colour..
Leyla, yellow sounds really interesting! Post lots of pictures when it arrive

My new vert deau work and Aquamarine city..

They are my new babies.. I just received them yesterday..

I love love love the Vert Deau so much!! Before I receive them, I believed I love the aquamarine more.. but after I met them in real life, I am much prefer the Vert Deau.. and one of my friend even said my vert deau is SO PRETTY. ( she is not very into handbag normally)..

 

[fashionispoison]

^ congrats! i have the same colors!!

 

[leyla m.]

cherie cherie cherie!!

love those 2 together.

 

[Zarina]

They are very nice, cherie!

 

[greyballoon]

cherie very nice!

Ah I'm so tempted to get another bag this season but...... waiting on that yellow ..... Eh! But that means having to get it overseas since Singapore's BBags are so $$
When will next seasons colours be out? Waitlists be damneD!

 

[mundodabolsa]

ok ladies I went on a hunt today for my naturel brief....didn't find one but I did get to see a naturel bag, but the SA kept calling it beige, saying the offical color was beige...

same thing, or totally different color?

 

[Guessgirl96]

Im pretty sure it the same thing and theres only one color like that this season

 

[Beautiful Stranger]

The blue one is soo beautiful! perfect size too.

 

[aris]

Cavanaugh - I love that bag - It is GORGEOUS!!!! Thank You!

 

[Pinkie]

Cherie... your new bags are sooo Stunning, Love the vert d'eau & aquamarine so much & together they are just glorious. That's why I have not yet gotten a b'bag in the brown family because more them one colour each season seems impossible not to get.

Zara... your rouge vermillion bag is really breathtaking. I have not yet seen one in person but that is a Great red!

Red Sole... the sandstone is one colour I have been dying to get. It's so lovely, I think you will be very happy with it. There is a red that looks quite nice on the swatch for this fall so you might want to get a look at them when they come out.
