aaah so no pics at the forum huh hehehehe. as for mine, i wouldn't call it a 'collection' since i only have 2 right now. so anyway, how many do you have? since the Bal store just opened there, where did you get your bags before?

just curious....hehe.

Has anyone been to Balenciaga Bangkok? How are the prices there compared to Balenciaga Manila?

My dad is going to BKK this weekend and I'll ask him to look for a Men's Day Bag.

Can anyone let me know what the price discrepancy is between the Balenciaga here and the ones in the US? I want to know how big the difference is.

Most times, the bags here in Manila are more expensive but after shipping and handling costs, it ends up being the same or cheaper.

chinkee21 · Oct 5th, 2008, 01:29 AM

Work RH is US$1495, the GH bags as far as I know were not affected by the price increase.

hansyu · Oct 8th, 2008, 10:59 AM

guys, do u know how to compute for the taxes if i order from, say, LVR, ShopBop etc...?

tuna lala · Oct 9th, 2008, 01:54 PM

Hm so far, is Bal's popularity in the Phils played out? Getting there?

I don't want to carry the same bag as every mallrat out there. Hehe. I rarely venture out of my indie designer sphere but I really love how the City looks.

chinkee21 · Oct 9th, 2008, 08:36 PM

Nope, it's always been and always will be LV town back home!! I've seen very few women with bbags!

candicetan · Oct 10th, 2008, 04:29 AM

Actually I'm not sure if it's because I just started my love for balenciaga, but every time I go out I see at least one. BUT just one. And I haven't seen similar Bbags. They're hiding somewhere...

It's not as bad as LV though. In Rockwell, you can probably see another one after holding your breath for a bit :P

chinkee21 · Oct 10th, 2008, 05:22 AM

You're hilarious, C!!

Bought a Botkier bag from ShopBop last May. Add 12% for VAT and 15% for customs duties; just can't remember if you compute the taxes on top of cost + shipping or just cost, but to be safe I guess you should consider the bigger amount. Fedex will pay for the taxes for you first and then you pay them back when they deliver the item to you. They will call naman before paying the taxes on your behalf to confirm the amount you have to pay.
