Pics of FW 08 Changes: mirror, silver tag, anything else?

pluiee · Jun 22nd, 2008, 10:32 PM

i'm sorry but reading this thread makes me sad.

the amethyst is gorgeous though! i saw an anthra city today that reminded me of 06SS leather, rough and crinkly and plasticky. the leather is definitely different.
ok

Here's a picture of the inner pocket - without the gussets as Reynaldoc pointed out...

What a shame, prices go up but the details with the bag go down!

^^ my exact sentiments. Would it kill them to include extra tassles?!

^I've inquired about this before from Aloha Rag, and they have said that Bal is using a different type of glue and that the tassels will hold better than the ones from previous years. Who knows if that is true or not..but it seems like a very good excuse.

^ Rolls eyes.

Though, if this were true, I would say: hey, lets give the "new" tassels a shot.

Valerie, I agree about the handles, they felt different when I first carried it and I couldnt figure out why until I read your post. I still wish they came with the extra tassels. It seems incomplete without them...

WOW

Ugh ridiculous! Quality goes

prices go

. Not good

i had no idea that the metal tags were silver, so i just checked mine. that is really cool. i didnt realize they were a precious metal

KDC · Jun 23rd, 2008, 05:08 AM

I can't help but wonder if the new non-silver metal tag will tarnish (or even worse...) get surface rust???

ITA with hmwe, I am just about done with my collection. There will not be any new Bbag purchases for me if the leather keeps coming out like sand paper!

i couldn't agree more. It's ridiculous, it looks like they're trying to cut corners and save a few cents here and there, for a $1000+ bag! Sorry but even though I've never used my mirror's back pocket nor had to change tassels for my bags, I still want them!!!

I heard the PT no longer have the feet at the bottom, a few girls have reported this with their GH PT. Not sure if true with PT RH too.

delmilano · Jun 24th, 2008, 08:45 AM

these little things they take away from b bags make me want to pass this season and stop buying new bags.
that being said, i must confess that i want an argent city so bad, but i'm still wondering if i should get one.
i'm very disappointed and mad about the little details they took away... why did they do that? just want to sell extra tassles at 5 euros a pair instead of giving us some extras !!!!

spylove22 · Jun 24th, 2008, 09:33 AM

this is so sad, I had no idea they don't include tassels, how cheap, these new changes are really disappointing.

HandbagAngel · Jun 24th, 2008, 09:46 AM

I borrowed those photos from guccilove of another thread. This is her Antracite PT with no feet.

I haven't seen any 08 F/W bags IRL yet, but I sure don't like they changed the handles. Bal has repeated some 05 colors this season but with much lower quality. I think I am going to past this season but go looking for older bags now.
