Citychris, long time no see! Nice to see you here.

Matte black is one of my faves....I NEED something in this leather for sure!

Hi Contessa!

I'd love a black BE, maybe a TME in either black glossy or black matte. I'm waiting to see pics. of black glossy TMEs from bespoke bliss to help me to decide.

Contessa · Nov 14th, 2008, 04:59 PM

^ Great idea!

Somehow, I don't think you can go wrong with matte black. Just ask Tash!

*suzi* · Nov 14th, 2008, 06:20 PM

^^^ Hmm... I am kind of looking for something that could work for both dressy and casual so I was trying to find something other than our soft black matte. I think I might just have to stick with the black crash, but I bet Jackie's black matte would work for you Citychris.

I've been secretly hankering after a matte black bag ever since I saw the Be Mine Mini

Good idea. I'm going to go look for that one. I think Circoit owns that? By the way, nice new avatar. Is that the new man?

Cornflower Blue · Nov 15th, 2008, 05:41 AM

Yes he is, for the time being anyway! He looks as if he could with a nice hot bath though .... or maybe not ......

Moving swiftly on, matte black bag, yes I do want to get one, but not just yet - it's something I'd have to get exactly right as it would be my only black bag!

Cornflower - it doesn't look like he needs heating up too much to me.

Rose - what is the situation with Plum/Purple Crash? I believe that you mentioned that the Crash leathers might be less available next year. Is it still possible to order bespoke bags in Plum Crash?

Cornflower Blue · Nov 15th, 2008, 06:36 AM

...exactly!

If you see a style in a colour that you like in stock, we would advise that you grab it now! We may not have that style in the spring line. Our leathers are also subject to availability.

Of course there is always the option of ordering by bespoke!

Just interested in whether Spring/Summer 09 is still to launch in February 09 and when we will be seeing your swatches?

Balenciaga had at least some of its SS 09 bags available to buy in the UK shops yesterday.

There are no plans for plum and chocolate crash to be available in the spring time. We suggest that if you see a leather that you love, you order it sooner than later. All leathers are subject to availability and Jackie has mentioned it might be a tad more difficult to source some of the crash colours after this season.

Have a lovely weekend!

To clarify - we can still order Plum Crash bespokes or only bags that are in stock?

Yes, as far as I know! If we have any details available sooner, we will share them. I will see what sort of tidbits I might be able to get for all of you!

That is great that Balenciaga has S/S available. We are very careful in planning our designs and colour selections and only have one main designer here who tries to keep all of your wishes and needs in mind, so we are a tad different in that respect.

I know of your excitement however! I am excited also!

Dear Rose

My point is that, if you are going to offer me Burnt Orange in February, I might well be carrying Balenciaga Mandarine long before then.

^^..just want to offer, then carrying Bal would be fine. What is your wish? Bal or BE? BE is a small, exclusive, made-to-order, personalized service line. Bal is a major brand- nothing wrong with that, either. Just that every designer in every line, bags or cars, or whatever, has their own timetable. Smaller, more exclusive lines (I'm thinking of all the organic baby and toddler clothes lines I prefer, for instance) have their own manufacturing timetable- that doesn't necessarily jibe with the trend in more massive-market, standardized lines. Not that Bal is *aaalll* that standardized or massive (compared to Sears, for example), but, you know what I mean.

Orange for Spring & Summer, tho- hot! can't wait.
