Bal philippines!!!

candicetan · Sep 13th, 2008, 07:03 AM

I went to Balenciaga in GB5 this morning. The SA mentioned they have new stocks coming today or the next few days, but they don't know what they're getting. Hehehe... That's the catch.

Bailey! Call them up na, baka they'll have what you want.

I was kinda surprised the store was a smaller than I imagined it to be.

And goodness! 68k for a first!

baileylab · Sep 13th, 2008, 09:00 AM

ngiii! wonder how much a city would cost!

they have my number. if they don't call that's fine. Like I said I'm not that in a hurry to have the Bal anymore coz i got my tod's hehehe

i even emailed them and they didn't reply.

thanks so much for the new info tho. wish me luck on my sapphire city!

Oh no!! Why did they close? I only visited the store once last April. I was planning to get a new Bbag this December! I guess I'll have to go to Joyce then

The Joyce on Queen's Road is only a few doors away from the Balenciaga boutique that closed. Should be well stocked now

It's really tempting to order from them but I'm just afraid it might get "lost" during shipping.

Thanks

i purchased a city from aloharag about 3 months ago and had it shipped to the philippines. they use fedex so im pretty sure you'd get it. although aloharag declares just 1/4 of the value of the bag in the customs form, expect the taxes to be gigantinormous hehehehe. For a $1095 city, i paid over 6,000 pesos in taxes. fedex will advance the payment to customs and charge you on delivery. =)

oh and i got the package 8 days from my order date. i paid by credit card (which they need to confirm first....theyd ask you to fax some papers).

3 months ago the city was only 1095? Right now they're selling it at 1295 na. Is that how high their price increase was? I just caught the bbag virus 1-2 months ago when I accidentally discovered the TPF. Balenciaga was the first designer forum since letter B siya. Hehe...

Wow. You must have really wanted that bag for you to a. Pay with your credit card considering na credit card exchange rates are absurd (was the dollar low then?) b. Pay for crazy taxes like that!

What color was it? :)
