[Red Sole]

Cherie-beautiful color! So fresh!

Please help! I need to know the exact style name and price of the new flat clutch they came out with, its flat and envelope-like, basically its a bit flat clutch bag. TIA!

 

[Red Sole]

i think you mean the giant clutch...it's $795...
not sure if it comes in all the colors...i've only seen sandstone, white, black and anthracite...pics from daphne@bal ny

Thank you Kimair, does it come in regular hardware or only giant? Basically I saw a pc of a woman with a giant flat Bal clutch bagwith regular hardware, mabe its one of the older styles that's been discontinued or something, I j ust for some reason thought it was something relatively new. Thank you for your help.

These are the clutches that i wanted at first,but instead,i got the travel clutch .which is great too

 

[Zarina]

It is a great color, red sole!

Question: what does the travel clutch look like? I was confusing it with the giant clutch, just wondering.
thanks

Red Sole, Thank you so much for posting a picture of your sandstone bag! I've been waiting to see another picture of that color. It's gorgeous!! Congratulations. It's so hard to resist getting that color. *sigh*

i posted the two sometime ago,u can find them in this thread,it wasnt too long ago,the the travel clutch is slightly bigger,also from the giant line,i thought it was a man's purse at first but the SA and somebody from this thread(sorry i forgot your name )convinced me otherwise.coz its got a passport and documents compartments inside,reminded me of my dad's ferragamo money purse

 

[bohomamma]

I will try and go back in the thread and see. I get so distracted looking at everyone's beautiful Bbags... I really like the idea of the travel clutch, is out this season or for the fall?

Still trying to decide on a color for the brief GH I want. I was convinved on vert gazon then convinced myslf Marine was great, now I saw a natural color and that was fantastic. This is all very overwhelming! Oh and I must have something in the cobalt color, a city I think. Cant decide GH or not for the cobalt.

 

[Red Sole]

Zarina, Beautifulstranger & Victoria- thanks! I am really loving this color! Now I need a city bag. I am wainting for the new red and the purple! Ahhh!

 

[bohomamma]

Any opinions on authenticity? What do you lovely ladies think? thanks

[bohomamma]

the giant traveler is $865 and comes in white, black, sandstone, anthracite and aquamarine...
i saw the aquamarine at NM SF and it's gorgeous...
it is quite big, i think it measures 8.5 x 11"
