I smacked myself in the face upon looking at your lovely H click-clack bracelet, E! I had to smack the envy off of my face.

I'm dying for one of those myself but bags keep getting in the way.

PP-

Sweet!! Congratulations!

PP-love your bracelet! Excellent choice!

Just a peep into chat thread - PP your tri-colour(?) sheltie is adorable...here's mine 8 year old boy (just to share)

[Crazy Bag]

Really need some advice and don't want to start a thread on it:

I ordered the tessuto guaffre bn1336 from Joanna. No stock. Must wait 1-2 mths but no guarantee. My 2nd choice would be the bambu bn1789 which she has available.

Should I wait for the bn1336? If I wait and eventually, no replenishment comes in, I might also miss out on the bn1789. OR should I buy the bn1336 from my local stores which cost me USD350 more than if I were to get it from Joanna? OR should I just buy the bn1789 in bambu and forget abt the bn1336?

Shucks the agony of waiting & hoping...

Emmy - if you see this, yes I can get the item through my local store at a much higher price.

Hey Crazy Bag....

Could you see if they would price match Joanna anywhere? I would not make this common practice, but see if your Prada boutique will do it??

^^ Ah hard choice, you don't say what color you are looking for the in Tess Gaufre--if black, then good chance your dream will come true. If fumo, ask her if this is a seasonal color, which I think it might be. If so, may be harder for you to find

You don't have to get it from Joanna, if you call the mainland Prada stores, they can put out a locator for you and find it but you will pay more, but still less then in Singapore.

Sigh! I wish they could do it but they don't.

The dark brown is so dark that you think it is black until you hold it up to black. According to my SA, Saks doesn't have any more. BG sold out of black and has this one brown. I don't know what NM situation was.

Agree w/ Chanel quality, I would really like a tweed Chanel, but other than that, nothing else. They want to price us off the market, article I read said they want to appeal to the "more discriminate, exclusive buyer like hermes". They have a long way to go before they come close to H quality.

That's why they are fazing out Caviar.

Ah ssc0619, sorry you have a cold--me too--but I've been doping up w/ zicam, tamiflu, sudafed because I'm working this w/e.

The cold must have made you delirious as we saw the red Scoop in pix, we talked about it earlier.

I am looking for the fumo - same one as Emmy. It was a stroke of bad luck. Joanna had a piece but it was reserved. the day she mail me to tel me the reservation was off and she could hold it for a day, I was not able to get back to her in time because I was so busy and did not log in. When I finally did, the bag was already sold. I am pondering what I should do now.

Do you have an idea of the prices in mainland Prada? If the difference is not much from Singapore, I might as well just buy it here but the price I am paying here can literally get me a bn1789 in full leather from Joanna. So my rationale part is telling me I am not so rationale if I make this decision. Would you pay more for your first choice bag?

Jill, you might not like it, but did you ever look at the Goyard Fidji? Would be a good Mommy bag for you.

lol!! I don't have any memory of it! Sometimes I'll go back and read old threads and see something I posted 6 months ago and I will hardly remember doing it! Well here's a case where I don't remember at all!

Did I like it??
