Hi!

Take a look at this thread: Post pictures of your Reissues & Reissue WoC's!

Lots of pics and info on prices, etc. here. Once you've taken a look through the thread (it's a lot of fun!) let us know here in this thread if you have any more questions that aren't answered in that thread.

Hope this helps!

Yes, the shiny silver hardware is new. It REALLY stands out. (For the record, I like both!)

Oh, really? Thats great, I like the new ones better than the old silver hw! :)

Now, Im torn between the shiny silver hw and the gold one for metallic black... :)



actually the most important thng is that i am already kind of torn btwn the reissue and the classic flap ...

what do you suggest?


(if i get a reissue-its black metallic... either new silver ones or the gold ones

if i get a classic med flap bag- its black caviar with gold hw...)

i have always liked the gold the best... but its hard to see gold with black metallic in the thread...

You should definitely go visit the boutique to see both the reissue and classic flap in person. This way you will be able to see the differences in style, size, and hardware. Nothing beats seeing in real life. Anyway, I'd would get both the reissue and classic flap as they are both completely different styles with different skins, hardware and looks. Sizewise, the reissue has more flexibiltity. Gold hardware is more formal whereas silver is more casual, imo. Metallic is more trendy. Hope this helps.
