ok so my yellow weekender is in, should i buy it or will i get bored of it too fast like i did with some of my balenciagas? should i opt for a smaller size since its soo bright?
 
Uniq: Great choice, I think weekender is huge, and it will work better in the work size, since it's so bright ;) Please bring on some pictures :bounce:
 
weeeeeeeeeeeeee uniq!!
pls pls post pics in between being a new mommy :)
i need to see it and find it somewhere :shifty:

uniq and fashionispoison...please post pics of your yellow bags!
 
congrats fashionispoison and eleria (and happy birthday!)...

leyla, i've only seen pics of yellow with giant hardware...
from what i've read at thepurseforum, the yellow is more of a flourescent tone, very bright...

edit: please do not quote images

from cultstatus.com.au

does anyone know how much the solid yellow bag retails for?

So long to wait!...:doh:

I would have really liked one in a work this summer.. as dark grey is such a summer colour! :p
 
^yaya, thanks for sharing, do you have a credit for your pictures?

I got a call from BalNY on the bouton d'or work..to get or not to get??
Hmmm .. :shifty:
 
OH MY!! :shock:
i know ive been saying this now so many times but i WANT this bag!!!!
the one Kim posted, the SAME one!!
i think what stops me is that i need to actually see the bag i buy or else i wont buy it :(
 
I need a little bit of advise from the balenciaga experts.
while i'm talking it up in the ioffer thread looking for a replica....i DO own a real Balenciaga Twiggy in white.

My twiggy was getting a little yellowish/off white from using it so often, that my sweetheart of a boyfriend decided he was going to surprise me and get it professionally cleaned somewhere. So he did....and I let him because I thought it was a nice gesture and he knew how much I liked the bag.

So he spent a lot of money to have it professionally cleaned....what he didnt do, was tell me what [if any] affects this might have on the bag. I know he took it to a good place, because other friends of mine have had their designer bags cleaned here...only thing is, their bags werent as soft as my balenciaga.
I broke this baby in to the point that it felt like pure buttery mush...and I loved it that way.

One wek later my Balenciaga twiggy returns to me....Beautiful crisp white. Only problem was, the bag now FELT crisp as well. This happened 2 months ago, and I still havent brought myself to use it. My boyfriend feels like e did something wrong by having it cleaned for me. And I'm not mad, just dissapointed that the dyes and cleaning stiffened up the leather so much.

anywho, long story short (hahah, to late)....what can I do to soften the bag back up (besides just carrying it from day to day), are there any products I can use on the leather? Or maybe I should just roll around on top of it for a while and hope that my body weight makes it mushy again (heheh, just kidding.....kinda)
any tips would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!
 
Alexis, just a shot, but maybe you can use the conditioners from LovinMyBags to moisturize your twiggy and hopefully remove some of the "crispiness"

And... I have a big yellow surprise on its way to me.... :ninja:
