that must be the special edition magenta...
it's really gorgeous...

i went to neiman's in san francisco last night, and they had some of the new pre-fall colors...
the tomato, ocean and paprika are really pretty...
the mastic to me looked like a darker version of sandstone...
they had a beautiful ocean first with the nicest leather...

i went to check out the plomb in person and the color seemed very flat to me...and the cities they had were quite veiny...
i hope terry picks out a nice smooth work for me...

oh wow!!
so that means the b shop in paris will have them in too. will be there from the 3rd to 7th and am planning on buying a new one..... if only the purple was out!!

 

[PursePrincess]

I want the Magenta sooooo bad!!!

on LVR (luisaviaroma) they have something called "runway giant work" what do they mean by it? what color is the hardware? because they do have the purple and the yellow so i want to pre-order but need to know harware color on the runway giant they are talking about

 

[PrincessImp.]

I too, am twiddling my thumbs and waiting for the arrival of the grape and marigold......

 

[aurorac84]

Yeah Uniq I went same the thing, they only have the sliver giant hardware, I made a preorder than cancelled it.

i saw alot more pre-fall colors this weekend at barneys in l.a....
they had tomato, olive, tabac, paprika, steel and ocean...
the steel looks so much better with the giant silver hardware, but i can't justify paying $400-500 more for a bag because of that...

i wasnt that into the Balenciaga city motorcycle bags at the beginning..
but today i saw the picture of the new edition of purple and pale rose(something like that)...
i became crazy about them..haha..

 

[glammgal]

does anyone find the brief w/ GSH quite heavy??

 

[exoticarbcqen]

when is the violet coming out?
I am #1 on the list for the violet with silver GH day..I cannot wait. Im also waiting for the yellow GGH day.
also, waiting on my special order for the LE magenta with GGH...ahhh!!

 

[Red Sole]

^^^I can't wait for violet either!!! I am on the WL for a city with regular hardware! It'll be my first city!

 

[fashionispoison]

exoticarbcqen i think the violet is coming in august =/ i'm waiting very patiently...

 

[leyla m.]

hmmm,
i just got back from paris and was at balenciaga there. the update is that the new colours including the purple and yellow wont be out till september/october!

 

[fashionispoison]

^ noooo that sucks!

I still haven't made the plunge for a Giant yet....Do you think a violet giant (silver) would be too trendy? I am worried that these giants will be discontinued and I will be stuck with a expensive mistake.
I love the violet but I only want to get one bag, A classic city or a giant city? Something tells me that the RH would be better in the long run. What do you BBag experts think?

 

[esile]

waterdaisy, if you could only get one bag, i would get the regular hardware. like you said, more classic than the GH.

 

[exoticarbcqen]

water daisy..I dont forsee bal discontinuing the giant hardware anytime soon. In fact at my local retailer, there are hardley any giant hardware bags left. I prefer the giant hardware to the regular. I think balenciaga bags look matronly and boring without the giant hardware (((dont flame me))).

i think the violet with RH is the way to go. i have uhhh, lets say more than several, and they all are RH and i love them ! get what YOU like. the thimbles just dont do it for me.
