Thanks Kimair! I am in such a state of confusion regarding colors and models and GH, I like that vert d'eau with the GH and that work size looks scrumptious, all the elments together. I think the cobalt is gorgeous, maybe a city....dont know. I want a brief and cant decide the color, the dark colors seem to go well yet I saw a natural and that was great too. I think I am sold on the vert d'eau GH work, I think the handles will fit on the shoulders too? Seems like the decision would be so easy but I love so many of them!

bohomamma...aloha rag doesn't email out a pdf anymore, but you can email or call them to get a list of current stock...
they don't have pics of every bag...you can ask if they have one of a certain style you're interested in...

I am actually leaving for Italy at the end of the week for work (will be there until end July). I guess I will start my search on that side? I have had a good run in Milan for Bbags a year or 2 ago, they seem to have many stores and have a good selection if you call/go there within a 2-3 days of their shipments. If the darn $ would be stronger it would be sooo much better. I guess in the end they are virtually the same price in Europe and the USA with the weak dollar.
I think I have decided. Was going for a dark brief like Marine, but am thinking Natural GH brief, (I saw one and it was GORGEOUS) perhaps the vert d'eau GH work, and I want the acquamarine, city perhaps? I like the vert gazon too but can't have everything!

so jealous you're going to Milan, i went there 1-2 years ago and loved it. (it was so hot though, probably much better temp there now, as we went in july)
I am determined to get a brief GH in grass green or acquamarine, thinking more acquamarine and a day GH in natural or sandstone. Do you guys think the brief in acquamarine can go for winter too? I tend to wear too much black in winter. I am not keen on a black bag or a dark colored bag, love Balenciagas colors. What do you think? Grass green or acquamarine? I am partial to acquamarine, love turquoise, saw a grass green gh day, so crisp, nice color. They are all so tempting, at least I have narrowed it down though, took a LONG time.

NM SF has an aquamarine gh brief...it's gorgeous in person...
i think naturel is better for year round, but it all depends on what you're into...
i carry my mustard first year round, even though my mom insists it's a spring/summer color...
I have seen a natural city gh, gorgeous, was thinking natural or sandstone? Havent seen the sandstone yet. What do you think? Wanted something neutral for all the time, day with GH. I think I may just go for the acquamarine brief GH.....really love the color!
Oh the mustard is gorgeous! Good for you!

i've got news on f/w colors...pic from ateliernaff
info from incoralblue at tpf
BLACK (noir)
SIENA (tabac)
It’s the shade of brown in between Truffle and Marron (FW 06)
OCEAN (bleu)
I’d describe it as a true Blue.
DARK OLIVE (vert fonce)
PAPRIKA (rouille)
More orange than SS 06 Rouille, gorgeous nonetheless.
TOMATO (rouge)
Remember Nicole Kidman’s Balenciaga dress at the Oscars? This is the color.
STEEL (plomb)
A deep rich gray...reminds me of FW 05 Grey.
CRÈME (ivory)
PINE (previously unnamed green swatch)
A bit darker than Emerald. The love child of Grass Green and Sapin.
GRAPE (violet)
Grape has more red than blue.
CINNAMON (mogano)
Very deep brown although it has that reddish brown tine to it.
MARIGOLD (jaune)
It has more brown to it, very much like lemon curry. I’d describe it as a mustard – saffron color.
OATMEAL (mastic)
Golden Brown, much darker than Sandstone.

3 new styles:
the stepping out: larger than the weekender, 2-3x bigger than the city, but the same style-wise. this bag is depth, so it can carry more...
the sphere: circular in shape and similar in size to the mid-afternoon. 2 handles that fit on the shoulder.
the big hobo (not the official name
very similar to the giant hobo but also has depth (the giant hobo is flat)...the strap will have a grip in the middle of the shoulder strap...
