Are the names of colors of the Bbags in Paris and US diff from each other?

cpatootsie · Jul 19th, 2008, 04:11 AM

hello ladies, can u help me clarify this issue? An SA from the balenciaga store in Singapore told me over the phone what she doesn't know what a saphire and blueberry is since those are US colors and the stocks they have are from Paris. Is this true? And if it is, does Balenciaga produce diff colors for US and Paris or same colors, diff names? Help me out here... I'm confused!

Thanks!

Well strictly speaking the colors go by different names, ie Bleu Roi = Blueberry, etc

But Balenciaga only produces one set of colors WW.

However many stores give the colors their own names, so it can be kinda confusing

^ Yeah, that drives me nuts. I always say the french and english name.

As hmwe46 mentioned, on top of the English and French names the stores do create their own (BalNY is good for that

).
If you need help with the French names please feel free to pm me and I will be more than happy to help.

That confuses me too, I carried my Magenta Step to a Bal store a couple of months ago and one of the SA said "oh your orchid step is pretty".

A Sales Associate in a store just said an Anthracite Work was Charcoal. Is that correct???

You can read this topic

Is 08 Anthra being called "Charcoal" by some SAs?

Yes the SAs do not know the names .. or are we the ones that are confused ..
everytime i ask about vert'deau/ seafoam it seams that the SA is completely clueless.

In Paris the names are in french, but in the US they are in english. They should translate in to the same thing though.

ya! I agree ivylouwho! They should have a chart with the corresponding english names and make our lives easier!

What are the french names of Sapphire and Ink?
