hi all! just got back from BV at both taka and paragon in singapore

! the sale was limited... picked up a green (sorry not sure of the actual colour names) woven key ring for SGD175 and.. just as i was there they were unpacking the new resort (?) collection! my mum got an electric blue montaigne which is a BV first for her!.. that retailed for SGD 3690. will post pics soon!

ms piggy · Dec 10th, 2007, 10:20 AM

Congrats! Might the green be Regent? And the Resort/Cruise blue would be Oceano. Come on, we need those pics!

valerieteo · Dec 10th, 2007, 11:10 AM

pebz · Dec 10th, 2007, 11:17 AM

woo hoo! Looking forward to pics! By chance, were you @ the paragon store? Cuz when I arrived, the new collection were sorta stacked on the shelves...

valerieteo · Dec 10th, 2007, 11:23 AM

ok ladies.. without further ado... ocean?? montaigne! no pics of the key ring yet.. but its a past season colour.. first two pics with flash.. second two without.. think the third picture captures the truest colour of the bag! its so beautiful! enjoy..

yup! went to both at taka and paragon.. ended up going to BV 4 times today.. ack.. cuz they were unpacking the new collection! but all the SA's were really nice..

sorry the second pic is the truest to the colour..

pebz · Dec 10th, 2007, 11:28 AM

Ooh! Gorgeous!! But the color looks really different with and w/o flash! Excellent choice!

Syma · Dec 10th, 2007, 11:32 AM

Absolutely the most gorgeous coloured BV! Did you see this colour in the veneta or campana???? I love blue bags! Many congrats on your key ring as well!

ms piggy · Dec 10th, 2007, 11:35 AM

The colour difference is interesting. I believe the blue has some grey undertones which results in it looking greyish in some of the pics. I suspect the colour is hard to capture truly in photos.

valerieteo · Dec 10th, 2007, 12:03 PM

yeah the colour is really difficult to capture! plus my mums room uses yellow lighting.. so that is another factor as well.. but its a truly beautiful colour and i dont even like blue bags!

syma: they have the veneta in the small and medium (??) sizes if im not wrong.. in this shade of blue..

they also have mustard yellow.. as the SA described.. cherry red which is gorgeous! it is lighter and slightly more pinkish compared to the classic red.. and a pure white.. these are the new stocks that came in today..

and a cabat which is multi coloured and some other canvas bags with woven handles in blue/white and brown/black

thx! actually it wasn't that great in person.. the colours were great.. all the new season colours.. but the leather was really stiff and hard.. it felt like a woven basket.. not like lambskin BV leather at all..
