ciao YAY FOR YOU!!! the vert d'eau is my personal favorite bag in my entire hangbag collection. mainly coz i missed out on the pistachio ages ago and obssessed about it for a year or two and coz my lovely bf got it for my bday. i've broken it in already since i couldn't part with it all summer long. everytime i see it when i'm in my room i smile inside coz i love it so much!

 

[fashionispoison]

beautiful stranger you would totally use the bag much more than the bag and appreciate it much more. as far as the splitting tassels, chauss is right, let them be and enjoy the bag!

 

[fashionispoison]

ciao, you exo and i love the same thingssss!

 

[Ciao Bella]

Thanks, C!!!

I would love a violet work with GSH!!

Hello.. I made it into Saks, Palm Desert today and they have the black work GSH, violet work GGH and violet work RH. Sorry exoticarbcqen... I will keep my eyes out

 

[Ciao Bella]

cb, love your vert d'eau! i have the WE vert d'eau (of course) and will take a new pix.B)

Pleeeaaasssee chauss, please can we see your vert d'eau weekender?

BS- I bought that prada watch when it came out and also have many balenciaga messenger bags.... keep the watch!!

As far as the splitting of the tassles, that's just part of the wear and tear that goes along with balenciagas... they are never meant to look perfect! One of my bags has a tassle that is ripped in half- although i have the replacement for it, i think it looks kind of unique.

^i also want another balenciaga!! ....greeedy

 

[kimair]

ciao...gorgeous city!!

Pleeeaaasssee chauss, please can we see your vert d'eau weekender?

cb, i just posted it in wear thread, so here you go! it was a quickie this am with a cell phone so the color is richer and deeper IRL. let me see if i can find another pix ...

 

[chauss]

Fabulous!

Personally i'd like it in black or in metallic ( i know its not ~trendy~ anymore but i can't help .. adore it !)

thanks, frenchy. WEs are better , and so is everything, when it is NOT trendy.B)

ok, cb, here is a better pix of my vert d'eau color. some chick, who will remain nameless, "borrowed " this pix of moi without my permission! to sell her own vert d'eau work, not WE! on ebay....

 

[fashionispoison]

chauss i remember when u posted that pic! i LOVE it. you look great as usual!

jenn_xoxo sorry to have taken so long on taken the pics but i had the bag at my house all along and had no idea! ok so here are some (very bad) pictures...but i hope they help...

in this pic u can see how long the zipper is supposed to be

the GSH bbag's leather is a bit more shiny than regular black leather...but it's still soft and not stiff

 

[exoticarbcqen]

ciao- oh wow..fabulous bag
thanks for checking on the bags for me..I called Suzie when they opened and managed to "secure" the violet GGH parttime..hopefully all goes well so It can be mine!!!

 

[leyla m.]

ciao,

ive been wanting one forever.... do u by any chance remember the price?

 

[Mona13]

Beautiful CB - congrats!!! Hmmm - violet work with RH. How was the leather? I am trying to hold out until s/s colors (as I love so many of them), but a violet work with RH would be nice...

Chauss, loving the WE. I love the vert d'eau with all black!

Sorry for the confusion leyla m and exo...remember I am still a Bal rookie..learning as I go...

Exo... I am glad you caught Suzie, I told her you may be calling today
