Leyla, I think we all have thoroughly confused this poor girl

 

[LaurieAnn]

Talk about a difficult choice!

 

[Guessgirl96]

Uniq thats a really hard choice. I honestly dont know which I'd go with. I'd scrap both and get a brighter color!

 

[UNiQFashionista]

GG I already have all the nice birght colors
rouge vif, bright yellow,blue jean, orange, and vert anis (light green) so im done with that, i also have black, toile/barenia,raisin and congac..sooo?!!!!!!!!!!
I would love a cyclamen but its not in this seasons colors the SA told me-

I love olive green- but i really want a light color..i mean ya cream and gold can look old but it depends how you carry it and wear it..plus 40cm immediatly makes any birkin look more young dont you thnk?!

 

[Guessgirl96]

In that case I think I'd go with the creme color. I agree that it can look old but it wont on you. Also a plus that the roc stands out more in creme.

 

[Wafaya]

UNiQ.. i totally agree with ur choice.. I've seen Parchemin and it's a clean, yellowy cream.. almost like buuter cream .. and the gold harware brings out the "yellow"ness in the cream... it's a fresh color and u can combine it with other colors to brighten it up or carry it with black for total elegance..

 

[Alejandro]

Def go for the olive. I'd hate to see a light color bag with denim transfer on one corner

 

[UNiQFashionista]

thats the issue with light colored bags- just like my yellow- i try not to wear it wth jeans- but ill be carefull with this one!

^ Uniq - that's my reservation too with the lighter colours - they tend to show dirt more! Personally, I love vert olive with GHW or PHW and I love to wear my birks with jeans too. But of course the choice is yours. Interestingly, did they say when you might be getting your bag? Will it be in what's left of 2007 or in the coming New Year?

I really hope they will be offering Rouge Garance in Clemence next year in the 35cm or I'll be sooo disappointed!

 

[UNiQFashionista]

he said its from this season's color- so should be soon- i said how soon, a week, two? a month? u know how the french are- he nodded his head and said i dont know...peut etre...!!

 

[leyla m.]

ok girls,
you are once again giving me the jitters to get another one!!!
you are BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD
but i promised myself, i need to run my business a little and have money coming in again to allow myself to spend.. a black would be great now!!!

UNIQ,
i actually cant wait for you to get your new one!!
i am still waiting for the Gris Tourterelle in 35. It should have been in by now?

 

[UNiQFashionista]

aside for the parchement, I decided I need a JPG, for the reason that having a baby soon, its easier to carry a JPG then a birkin, so for practicality, im also looking for a JPG.
I managed to locate a white clemence 40c, JPG, is the 40 much smaller then the 42 (i know duuh 2 cm, but in shape can you tell the diff?)
also, would you get a JPG or a nice diamond bracelet (part of an estate collection, old, very rare, and veryy good price) but the JPG and the bracelet are roughly the same price, i cant decide..

 

[Foxie-Pooh]

I believe the jpg birkin only comes in 42 and between the two I'd choose the bracelet. From what I've heard, the jpg is hard to wear because of the bulkiness on the bottom and the lock can stick out and get pretty annoying. With that said, I do love the look of the jpg though...

 

[leyla m.]

i agree with foxie,
i would take the bracelet.
you do have a stunning collection of Birkins now and still long time to acquire lots new ones..
i am personally not a fan of the JPG so i vote for bracelet

 

[LaurieAnn]

Uniqui, I've never worn a JPG so I can't give you any feedback there, but I can say that when your child is a little older (my son is 10) your regular Birkins will be perfect for toting things like a child's book, small toys, water bottle, well packaged snacks, etc. I still do that on occasion. When you have small children (at the walking stage) a Birkin is actually a very practical bag.

So if you can find something acceptable for toting baby gear when your child is an infant I vote for the bracelet as well.

[Foxie-Pooh]

Is that a 40 HAC? It looks huge...along the size of a travel birkin almost...but in HAC instead

Yes it's a 40cm HAC....I have a 50cm HAC and they are heavy!! Katie has been working out for sure to haul it around all day!!! Lovely bag and lovely color.
