red sole, i am glad to know your new vert d'eau is already a seasoned traveler. keep her covered up in italian restaurants... i had one destroy my o5 smoooossy ice bue and they had to buy me a new rouge vif WE.

 

[FashionJunkie]

Guys, guys please help. I called the balenciaga boutique here and they don't have the sahara (the one i wanted). They have magenta, bubble gum pink, and sage green. I love green but i don't love this green, i prefer the 05 apple and 07 green grass.

Do you think i should go ahead and buy the magenta (which i like) or should i wait a little bit for the turquoise?

Or do you think that sage green is nice? Haven't seen it up close. So confused!

 

[kimair]

i haven't seen pics of the turquoise, but if you love the magenta, i would get that...
although there is a magenta for fall...so confusing...
speaking of which...(see next post)

 

[kimair]

so all the colors for pre-fall and fall have been announced and they are:

Pre-fall
Argent/Silver (pale grey)
Anthracite
Saddle/Chestnut Brown
Amethyste/Magenta
Evergreen
Crimson/Bordeaux
Noir
Blanc
Saphir Violet/Sapphire (violet)

Fall
Charbon/Testa di Moro (dark brown)
Marine/Dark Sea
Rubisse/Rouge Theatre (Rubisse translates to Ruby)

2 new styles, the Mid-Day and the Sac Chic...both in GH only

the big news is the bags will be available in RH (brass), GSH, GGH and colored regular hardware (the hardware is the same color as the bag)...

attached are pics of the mid-day and sac chic in ruby, a part time in sapphire, and the swatches (some of which are hard to see)...

i'm actually most excited about the anthracite, which looks to be a true dark grey, but not as dark as plomb/steel...

Thanks for the info kimair!! I don't like the colours very much and the magenta/amethyste looks way too pink for magenta ( so i should better buy the Spring one). The only one that i like (and i have to say A LOT, almost excited) is the argent. I think i want it!!

Now i'm even more confused!

 

[oceanharlot]

hardware the same color as the bag? helltotheyeah!!! I want a black on black city. that would be so hot!

 

[fashionispoison]

[Kora]

What's the most comfortable balenciaga to wear? body fitting & funcionality wise, I'm thinking the "Day" bag?

 

[caroulemapoule]

I think the city or day, do you like to wear the bag by hand or by shoulder?

 

[Kora]

I prefer the shoulder and one strap, that's why i'm leaning towards the Day

 

[caroulemapoule]

I understand that then, the city isn't very comfetable to carry on the shoulder, it works best by hand. And the day is gorgeous too, I have one in sapin '06...

 

[kachi]

how many kind of red do they have?

 

[caroulemapoule]

A lot, it varies over the different seasons, but I guess that there have been approximately 10 different reds since they started, and that's just a wild guess
