the celine boutique in beverly hills
it was odd... i called nyc and bal harbour about this bag and they either didn't know about it or were sure it was impossible to obtain... but then i called bev hills and they had one left

Ooooh you're lucky that you can go to the Beverly Hills boutique. I find the Celine boutiques around the world to be kind of inconsistent. Even within france some boutiques will have bags that others don't.

It's not easy to get a hold of them in Montreal so I usually get them from people in the UK or France.

Have you tried the United States? i found it rather unexpected that i found it in beverly hills as the boutique is quite small... but perhaps because the demand here may not be as high as in say the UK or france it may be easier to find the one you desire, esp if it's a very special bag such as the bonheur collection. i'm definitely going to pay a visit to the boutiques in paris when i'm there next year

oh my gosh that is GORGEOUS!!!! how much were those..?

Thanks, I love it.
It was around $3500+ new, but mine was a wedding gift from the head honcho over there - I never realised he was such a good friend until then!

I found one on ebay a few months ago selling for about $2000

I wanted the one that you have, but I couldn't find it when I was in New York and Neiman Marcus wouldn't ship it to Canada

I have the orange clafskin and brown calfskin boogies that I got for christmas gifts.

I also have the black calfskin boogie, red biker boogie, a white calfskin regular boogie, and 2 bombay suede boogies in blue and pink.

I also have the white Bonheur boogie. (They made 8 different designs, but only produced about 150 of them.) Luckily my friend works in fashion and got one as a gift. He gave it to me as a cuz he knew I would truly appreciate it.

I think that I will soon be getting Brigitte Boogie Bag too.

I'm addicted to boogies, as you must see. Lately all I get as gifts are boogies because everyone knows how much I like them.

Wow what a collection! We both have friends at celine how fun, I wonder if they are the same person??
I found one on ebay a few months ago for $2g, the person never ended up selling it though - if I see it again I will let you know.

Actually, here's a heads up for the thread.

If anyone needs a celine bag and can't find it by regular means, let me know and I will ask my friend at celine, he will definitely know where to find one as he is the head dude there. I'm sure he wouldn't mind me finding buyers

 

[meowmix]

could he find a white one...?

My friend is in France and he's a photographer. He unfortunately doesn't work for Celine.

Either way he got you a bag! Score!

Did you see my above post with the green one on ebay?

celinechic,

do you have a large boogie as well?
can you put it over your shoulder?

I've only seen the large boogie in paris and I never bought it. I dont think it's even called a boogie. Doesn't the big one have a different name?

All my boogies are the same size. About 33 by 20 centimeters. They fit on my shoulder (uncomfortably) because I have really skinny arms. But normal arms wouldn't go all the way up.

hm i haven't received my green boogie yet (i hate to turn this into the balenciaga thread) but i was wondering if the plates are supposed to say X out of 300 or X out of 100? i thought they made 100 of each color?

is it painted? if so it should be out of 100, if unpainted 300 is probably accurate

i'm extremely impressed with your collection - especially the taupe moto messenger! has your's got the brass hardware? i'm interested in purchasing one in purple if they're making it this season. thanks!

Sorry I just saw your message. Thanks! My taupe moto messenger has the dirtyish silver tone hardware (I dont know what it is called, but it is not brass). The purple colors were both discontinued before this stlye was released, but the old messenger style might have been available in them.

Hermes
birkin pink
kelly black

What kind of pink is your Birkin?

 

[meowmix]

is it painted? if so it should be out of 100, if unpainted 300 is probably accurate

i was just checking out the diff between the brown one you showed me and the green... the brown one says it's out of 100 and the green one says its out of 300... but they both have the design...

 

[cloud9]

What kind of pink is your Birkin?

wow she must have one of those exotic skin birkins..
they never made any pink birkin in togo / taurilion (sp?) leather etc...

 

[meowmix]
