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

And no box! Just got my Twiggy. Nice that they raise the price but take away the extra tassels. My kids are always tugging on them. I'm going to be too stressed out to use the bag. They said they won't even get them in until this season is over. YIKES

I just want to say that I saw a ton of the new bags at NM in Las Vegas a few weeks back and several of the colors had very nice, thick leather including amythest and anthracite. Others had thin, dry leather, but it's not the whole batch.

i have seen some anthracite cities with really yummy thick and distressed leather too. just saw saddle today, with great more even-y leather, and it's actually medium brown, quite close to 06 truffle, nothing like 05 caramel.

I loved the feet on gh part-time bags. I think that removing them was stupid for them to change. talk about cutting corners.

i really hate the fact that they rise the price and lower the quality. not that i am planning to buy any...but just hate the fact that it's happening.

I agree "M". I was waiting for the Marine to debut in Oct., but with all these changes, I'd rather spend the $ on older bags because all the colors seem to be repeats from seasons past.

I haven't seen any 08 F/W GH Work yet. Has anyone seen them? Do they have feet?

[tresjoliex]

So I was debating between chanel and bal, and I think my next purchase will in fact be a Chanel.

Sadly.

(probably will still end up buying a balen cuz im in love)

Anyways, I hope they increase their quality in the future.

Time will tell if that is correct that the tassels won't split.

No feet on the PT?! Wthell. I feel like the RH feet on bags dont do anything because it still sags! But with the GH feet on bags it kinda does support. I heard them clicking on the floor when I set it down before haha. That was also the easiest way to tell apart the PT from the City!

[REYNALD0C]

Its funny, I bet Balenciaga thinks we dont notice the changes on bags ;P

The idiots also took the feet off the giant part time. They are SO cheap.

Woops I wrote that before seeing you guys acknowledged this- anyway it still sucks!

Nah, I think that is the stitched line in the front

[REYNALD0C]

Oh, wthell, I didnt even notice there was a line down the middle on the PT hahahaha. Oops, I always went by the feet on the bottom! =[ Now it has to be the stiching in the front that sets apart the two.
