Hi everyone,

I've read many posts on Bal 09 colours, and also about the fading issues.

I'm having a very hard time deciding on my next bal purchase...

right now i'm thinking of a work, since i have a city, first, and shoulder already.

I'm in love with the ciel colour, but i see that many people have voted against the colour because of the fear of it yellowing.
I would consider tempete/raisin (which i have in the shoulder), and maybe even pourpre, but i'm usually not a red girl...i was thinking of the framboise too, but don't know if that would be a little too bright.

as of now, i still love the ciel...and okay to be 100% honest, i already bought the ciel rh city, but i love the colour so much that i want another style in that colour!
i dont know if that's too crazy...

AND ALSO - any light blue bbag owners have any comments on whether LMB products help with the fading/yellowing issue at all?
i saw the swatch for the s/s 2010 colours, but there wasn't a colour that i'm particularly interested in

sorry for the long post, but any feedback from you guys would be much appreciated...i think you may be the only ones who understand!! TIA!!

If you love the color and want it in another style, get it. You'll be the one using them.

i agree with toomz

I think you should go with what ever you like .. it's you who will use it after all ^^

I just bought a ciel work ( first work ) love the style so far and the color also

This is mine =D

Saw framboise with GGH in the boutique was gorgeous color like i was between her and ciel and i end up with ciel cuz of the GSH i didnt like the GGH with the pink

still love ciel more

can you post a pic for your Ciel Rh city i never saw it with RH !!

here is a pic for more option

tempete work for RUIRUIWINTER

raisin work with GGH for missty4

Good luck ^^

i also have a ciel, but i'm so scared of taking it out...i want to keep the colour true but at the same time i feel like i should be able to use the bag and not just have it sit there ! =T

I understand you liking Ciel. I would love that color also. Maybe use some SM on it to help from fading and maybe the 09 color won't fade like the older light blues. I would think that Bal would try to fix that problem.

geishadoll · Sep 15th, 2009, 11:01 AM

thanks toomz and T20!!
and T20's awesome pics !!

I think I'm probably going to go with either Ciel, Tempete or Framboise...but I haven't seent that in RH yet, so I don't know. Too bad bal stores won't send photos anymore !!

will post pics soon

cant wait to see ur ciel city

geishadoll · Sep 15th, 2009, 12:31 PM

so since i know that there'll be another pink in S/S '10, my final two choices:

deciding between POURPRE and CIEL

i personally love ciel, but i've been reading a lot about how gorgeous pourpre is and how everyone loves it...and now i think i'm interested too >.<
im so indecisive...i wish i could buy both, but since i just bought a city, that may not be a good idea...

sorry, i haven't posted any pics before...is there a way to attach pictures directly from my computer? or do i have to upload it somewhere first?

thanks !!

T20 · Sep 15th, 2009, 01:29 PM

TOTALLY AGREE since you had ciel you can go for POURPRE
Very beautiful and gorgeous

Check this thread for (chaneljumbo ) the most beautiful POURPRE I have ever seen

oh and when i was in Bal Neiman Marcus San Francisco last week, they had so many colours in many styles from the new season! Do check it out , if you're going to SFO :) and the service was just perfect.

Good luck

L4F4 · Sep 15th, 2009, 02:53 PM

I would got with tempete. I love that color.

geishadoll · Sep 16th, 2009, 11:32 AM

THANK YOU T20 YOU'RE AWESOME !!

I went to see the pourpre IRL and it didn't look as good as when I saw it the first time =T

but tempete is growing on me, though I think that it's less of a stand-out colour.

I also tried the work RH on, and it seems that if you don't put enough in, it sags a lot =T

HAS ANYYONE THOUGHT OF BUYING TWO OF THE SAME BAGS IN THE SAME COLOUR? BECAUSE YOU LIKE THE COLOUR SO MUCH BUT YOU'RE AFRAID IT'S GOING TO FADE?

umimaddicted · Sep 16th, 2009, 11:42 AM

SP - Shining Monkey - water and dirt protectant spray.
Poupre or Tempete or Raisin or Noix or Galet or Ceil or, or **** I have the same problem deciding.

geishadoll · Oct 15th, 2009, 06:30 PM

So after all the confusion, I...wanted to slap myself, because I got something that I totally did not plan to get...

CIEL SGH CITY...I'm so bad...when I saw her I just had to take her home - I never considered giant hardware before but after seeing it on the Ciel it's starting to grow on me, and I especially like GSH on the dark coloured bags.

I also bought a Pourpre CP, just so I have the colour =P
the CP was beautiful and saturated - I actually bought a beautiful pourpre city at first, but as I'm more of a blue person I guess I still wasn't used to carrying red, so after seeing the Ciel SGH at another store I did an exchange...I didn't get a chance to snap pics of the pourpre though =[

But I'm satisfied with the CP =D

Have you carried your work out yet T20?

Here's my ciel RH:
