thanks cristina!

I'm so torn! I can't decide between colors or styles. Any input would be appreciated. I am trying to decide between the first, twiggy, and the box and between the cornflower blue (bluet) and the emerald.

I'm in

with both! Whichever I choose it will be my first b-bag

Get the first! I love mine

It's a wonderful bag to carry, so lightweight. As for colors, I like the cornflower blue more than the emerald

I'm still lusting after a white City

I'm going to Balenciaga on Wednesday. I'll see if they have the Purse there and let you know.

AR had purses when I was there on Friday, in rust and white, and (this is fuzzy in my mind) emerald. i know they had a white purse, i tried it on, but the rust purse was in the window display... so maybe give them a call instead of email?

also- i noticed in the AR jpg that the rust is much browner and less vivid than IRL. it is pretty bright i think, not magenta bright, but bright. like the color of autumn leaves.

i fell in love with a white work there! its not white at all. deep and rich and... so gorgeous. i think i might get an ink work though, more practical, even though it doesn't make my blood boil.

Christina-go for the white city!! I

mine! It's still too early in the year for me to carry white here so every now and then I'll take it out of the closet and wear it around the house

-of course not when hubby is home! I'm still obsessing over your chanel tote

Thinking about checking out Saks this week......

Yes, check out the tote! I was loving how functional it was today, I stuffed a bunch of papers in there and it still looked good

So you have a white city? You city-owners are making me really wonder what all the fuss is about. Does AR have a good return policy? Do they have refunds, or is it exchange only? I could always order one and if I don't like it, send it back....though I doubt that would happen

I think AR will charge a $50 restocking fee if you want to return the bag.

The white color is starting to grow on me too...

Really? Darn. But it is better than Balenciaga NY's policy, which is that they don't take returns, only exchanges

uspiciou So I'm stuck with selling it on eBay or here if I decide not to keep it. Fat chance that would happen

USCgerl · Mar 22nd, 2006, 01:56 PM

Okay ladies, I received an email from them saying that they have some available and first come first serve. I was on the waiting list for this color, but I painfully cannot buy the bag right now.

So I hope one of my dear PF gals/guys will get it and post pics for me to see!!! ...and possible sell to me later??
