The Balenciaga Thread (June 2003 - February 2009)

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...

Bal NY reissued the magenta color for this summer! that's probably what the SA was referring to, grape hasn't come out yet.

Hi all, I've been away for a while.. does anyone know if it's still possible to get the Vert Deau?

aloha rag still has vert d'eau last I checked. they call it mint though!

Yeah I know the mangenta was re-issued at BalNy.
I was talking about Bal Paris, what I was saying is that my cousin went into Bal Paris ( thinking that she might find the grape for me, excuse her I did explain that its too early to search for it) so she did not find the grape but the SA told her that they had magentas available( this bal paris not bal nyc). What I am trying to say is, did BAL Paris reissue it as well, walk in buy sort of thing? Cause they had them available.

one big difference is that the city has a shoulder strap. the work does not. and the dimensions are bigger.

i've heard that the only store to get the french blue first was bal ny but they only received it in a small quantity...
i've been to a few retailers in california, and none of them ordered any fb firsts...

 

[leyla m.]

oh i thought she was talking about the flat brass first.. wouldnt mind one of those myself

 

[copper]

i have a question for you girls!

i am going to visit london and wondering what the RRP of a small classique is at the shops over there? (harrods, harvey nicks?) and whether they have a good range!

thankyou so much for anyone who replies!

 

[Dulcisima]

I remember they are around roughly 450-500 GBP correct me if i am wrong please. I bought one as a gift for a friend last year and i remember paying around that range...ofcourse dont forget u get ur taxes back in the airport.=)

Strange question...but do some models come without the gold hardware?
I was told the grape in work would only come in sliver studds is that true?
Thanks

 

[PrincessImp.]

^Most models do come with a choice of gold or silver giant hardware, with the exception of the stepping out, which is made with the normal hardware.

The grape work is available in gold GH, I managed to put my name down for one.
