The Balenciaga Thread (June 2003 - February 2009)

cb it does not look like rouge vif. easy answer, look at letter on the inside metal tag. rv is a 2006 color on the white bal ticket. vermilion is a 2007 color and has a different letter on the metal ticket.

next question kids, a really good friend of mine is jones-ing for a grape/purple part time with GSH (not for me) or even RH/ she only wants a part time shape. it is like the city/medium but more rectangular. is you have seen one in the stores, or have one being unused in your clost, PM me.

Thankyou Ciao_Bella that how to link was very helpful!! Also Fashionispoison thanks for the color info and info about the strict return policy at balNY. By strict I assume you just basically aren't allowed to return it unless theres something crazy wrong with it upon arrival?

I think I know what I'm doing now after reading through the how to link and looking on the purse forum bal thread but... this may be stupid but does the Bal Work have a shoulder strap? I think the Bal city is going to be too small for me So I'm thinking of going with a Black Work with GGH but I dont want that unless it has a shoulder strap like the city.

Thanks again guys you've been very helpful!

cb - LOVE your WE!! it looks fabulous on you!!! as far as color, i am pretty sure it is vermillion. it does not look like rouge vif, which is more 'true' red. vermillion has orange undertones....

booradley - the work does not have a shoulder strap. maybe you want to try the part-time, which is a little bigger than the city (and still has a shoulder strap). but, the work or weekender handles are bigger than the city, so you might be able to wear the bag on your shoulder still.
you can return at balny, but only within a short time frame (7 days, 14 days??? - I cannot remember), but returns are for store credit only!

ciao i have the weekender in the rouge vif 06 i can give u the code on the tag for reference

booradley balNY will allow you to return within 14 days of purchase for store credit only. the city is a good everyday bag IMO but i personally have been using my black work on a daily basis lately. it's regular hardware though so it's a lot lighter than the GH. let us know what you decide!

I went to Barneys to see if they had any of the new colors. They had a few different styles of the pink and the magenta, I liked the pink, but I decided on a magenta first

 

[Ciao Bella]

^ Congratulations Beth! Please share pics....

Hey guys!

I ordered my purse.. i think atleast. I called them up and they faxed over the charge authorization form and I filled everything out and faxed it back, is that it?

I ordered a Black City with GGH. Does anyone know the approximate time of delivery.. eeh im excited. I asked for a tracking number to be emailed to me I hope they do that.

 

[fashionispoison]

nice pink victoria!

chauss bal and CL need to be paying you

myohmy i want a pink!

 

[jf813]

okay ladies...i know i've been saying i'm going to post pics forever. well i finally managed to pull out some bags out of the closet today and my back literally hurts from all the pulling and shoving!

not pictured:
antrhacite GGH part time
black RH work
apple green RH first
aquamarine GGH city
rose pink RH box

i think i'm almost done with my collection. i really want to see the new yellow and pink in person AND really consider whether i want to do that or just try to find some i 03-05 bags. the ones i'll be giving up are the violet step RH, white brief RH and forest green first RH . the step is nice but i don't LOVE it and the shape is really not me. as for the forest green...well i guess i got it when i was going through a green bag phase and i haven't used it all nor do i LOVE it anymore.

I'm super jealous!!!!

Sounds gorgeous boo! Congrats... I would just follow up by phone to ensure that all is fine with your order and confirm shipping. I did not recieve a tracking number however my Bal arrived from NY within 4 days I believe.... California.

fashionispoison.. you have one fabulous collection of b'bags!!!!!!! Woozy! One day I have to get my butt moving & my camera ready & take one of my b'bags. But your group is truly stunning.
chauss... I LOVE your bubblegum pink WE & the rouge vif! Would love a WE, don't know why I've not broken down & bought one of those yet. They all look super on you!
Victoria... I Love your new pink City.. I'm kind of partial because I received my petal pink (or BG) this week .. it's a Part Time with GSH & it's breathtaking too. Gorgeous leather this year & I am feeling pretty nervous about the colours as I keep yearning for the pale magenta & the Sahara.. not even thinking yet about the shades that haven't surfaced for summer.. ;-(
One thing I was disappointed in, they are not doing the sphere this season & I was really wanting the pink in that shape. Maybe they will bring it back again. I've only seen a few photo's of that disk shape but it's grown more desirable in my mind lately.
