I wish there was a pic of the vermillion. Not sure about the yellow now that I've seen pics of the bag - might just be a bit much for me. The vermillion is pretty much just like a really bright, bright red, right? Do you think itll look orangey in real life? How do you think it'll compare to the tomato?

 

[Guessgirl96]

the vermillion is the same as last season. It's a a very bright orangey red

so whats up with jaune?? how come no one likes it ?? :/
i have a day with GGH and a envelope clutch with GSH and i cant get rid of them..
OR
is the balenciaga crazy just DYING? bags arent even moving on ebay.

Hi exotic... no I think the Bal craze is still here, I think you are seeing a lull just because of the looming S/S 08 colors lying right around the corner... hang in there.. and don't forget I am still out there.... love the pre loved Bals!

Ok, I am sure you guys already know but I'll say it anyway. BNY has received some of the new '08 bags. So what's everyone getting??? I originally wanted the bg pink, but after seeing pics of it, I decided to get the magenta. Which BNY is calling "pale magenta." It should receive it next week. I can't wait!!!

my store also just called to tell me that she received lots of colours.. she mentioned blue and green... i am so out of loop as to what colours are supposed to be in now

the yellow, turquoise and red are collection colors and won't be out until february...
i'm on the list for a yellow pochette (the foldover clutch)...

red sole...here's a pic from daphne of the pale magenta...
and she also sent me a pic of the vert thyme with giant gold and giant silver hardware...

 

[augustus]

My SA just told me she charged me a Tomato Part Time...
I love the bag but keep having second thoughts. Argh.!

 

[janyoung99]

LOVE the pale magenta! Probably a richer more sophisticated color than the pink (??) Do you know what styles Bal NY has in stock now in this color? TIA!

 

[Guessgirl96]

The pink looks veiny

 

[Alejandro]

vert thyme looks divine with the silver gh.

 

[Ferdinanda]

I'm not feeling the magenta....

Vert Thyme both w/ silver and gold hardware are great though.

 

[leyla m.]

tnx kim!
i tend to get them mixed up so much now...
i know i NEED the yellow!! so is that one supposed to come anytime now?

to be honest i do not wanna buy from the shop here. they are always overpriced and dont give discounts so off i am to wait for a trip abroad (possibly london) to find something... i wanna buy myself a gift

bal ny has the magenta and the bubblegum pink...
a few member of tpf have received them already...
they also have sahara (which is lighter than mastic from f/w) and the vert thyme...
not sure what styles in what colors though...

 

[kare2711]

I'm dithering between the Sahara and the Vert Thyme. But I want to see pics from real people (doh!) before deciding.

 

[fashionispoison]

my pink BG is on its way!!!

I just got my first 2 Balenciaga bags over the past two weeks. An Ivorie City and a Noir Twiggy.... I love them both. I'm normally a LV girl, but I needed a break and went looking for something new and different, and I'm glad I did. I think I'm done with LV for a while now (Unless I finally get that keepall I've been wanting...) I'm already thinking about getting my next bbag. Maybe a red First.....

Here are some pic's...
