PrincessImp, thanks anyway! I might check at tpf, but i fear i'll get 500 "i love balenciaga clutches!!!"-replies, and one with information.

(btw, can't you call my beautiful stranger, or just stranger, if you finds it too long? lvizo sounds so.. lv-ish )

^Heh, I'll try to remember to do that from now on, beautiful stranger, but your first moniker was way easier to type

Any info on Bal clutches, anyone? I'm may be interested in getting one just to own something in tomato.....

Bal NY is getting the Giant Traveler, Giant Flat Clutch, and I believe they are re-introducing the previously discontinued(?) pochette style. The Giant Traveler is $865, flat clutch will be $795, and the pochette is currently $695. I think they all have similar dimensions, except for depth, with the flat clutch obviously being the exception. The pochette and traveler seem to be similar in depth and size except the traveler comes with dividers for things like passports, etc.

I have my name down for the flat clutch in ocean and steel, so I'll be sure to post pics when those bags finally come in!

They also still carry the usuals such as the make-up clutch ($495) and some of the bigger wallets that could easily be used as clutches like the compagnon ($505) or Money ($475)

Hope I helped a bit, let me know if you need any more info!

they're also doing a flap clutch and a lune clutch...
not sure of the price of the lune clutch (comes in green, black, blue, and brown)...
the flap clutch is $945...only comes in giant hardware...
i attached a pic from the barneys trunkshow of the lune clutch (left) and the flap clutch in pine (right)...

there's also a mini matelasse (with 2 handles, comes in black, sienna, and pine) and a matelasse makeup clutch...

scoping out the scene on ebay. i think i'm ready to let some of my bbags go. the emerald green and apple green. i like them and all but they're both classiques and i've only used both less than 10 times for sure. also reporting some fakes on ebay but wanted to get a 2nd opinion...

270122966516 (handles look odd..)
200111250295 (buy it now seems too good to be true...seller did not describe the name of the color, other than the obvious, blue...)
270122831201 (...)
320118014769 (wow...)

I need some urgent help for my b bag. I applied a layer of apple conditioner and apple guard onto my bag and somehow ... the bag isnt as shine as before... kind of matte on the leather...

will any product able to restore the shine? I've heard about LMB shine restore and also some body lotion might able to restore the shine?

Any gal has experience on the above products and might able to share with me? i am very upset...

 

[Jellylicious]

^^did you try buffing the bag with a soft cloth? sometimes that helps.

 

[kimair]

but i want the oval clutch!

oval clutches are hard to find...
check ebay, or consignment shops, like ann's fabulous finds or realdealcollection.com...
you also might want to call barneys...i know someone that found one a black one at barneys chicago...

Grape Work in Gold Hardware or Sliver Hardware? I am looking at the ocean work with the sliver studs from atelier.naff fall 2007 website

(source ateleir.naff)

and i am trying to imagine it how it would look like on a grape work
then i start thinking on how it would the gold hardware look like...
any recommendation or if anyone saw it please give me tips...

 

[Beautiful Stranger]

I prefer silver.

 

[leyla m.]

i would love the grape with gold..

 

[Dulcisima]

Aghhhhh leyla leyla ur making my decision harder now kidding appreciate the inputs so much!!

My cousin called my from balenciaga paris and she asked the SA if they had any purples ...he said they had magentas...dont know whether he couldnt articulate or describe the colour properly or she is just confused...

 

[Guessgirl96]

I like grape with regular hardware best, but out of gold and silver I'd go with gold.
