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.

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 !!!!
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?

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.

Per Aloha Rag, Balenciaga is using different glue now so the tassels shouldn't split anymore.

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!

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

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.
