So I emailed them in France lol! The email address was on the Balenciaga website.

This is what I asked:

Hi there!

I have been searching everywhere in the United States for a store that carries a PLOMB/STEEL DAY bag with GIANT GOLD HARDWARE. Was it even made? I know that the Balenciaga store in NYC has it with the SILVER but I am looking for it with the GOLD hardware.

Can you please tell me if it exists, and if it does, would you mind telling me what stores in the USA ordered this particular bag? Thank you! I know it comes in the City, Work, Brief, Hobo ect ect, so I assume it would also come in the Day style :smile:

Thanks again!


This is what they wrote back:

I'm sorry about your plomb day starbrite...but I've seen it with the silver hardware and alothough I'm not a big fan of SGH in general, it does suit this particular color really nicely :smile:

those do look like they are the spring 08 colors we have been hearing about. Sorry to hear they cancelled the day steel with GGH- I know you really wanted that combo. Do you have a plan B? I agree that it is stunning with the SGH. It just is a bummer when you can't get what you want- I know!!!

StarBrite.......have you considered the Anthra GH Day? I think you could get the same look as the Plomb with this combo. I'm pretty sure you can still find this bag in stores.

My mother got the Anthracite Day with Gold LOL! I really don't like it. It's just a bit TOO blue for me.

I think I will just get the Plomb Day with SGH. From pictures I am not wowed but maybe in person I'll love it. :shrugs:

Does anyone know of any Barneys or Neimans that carries that combo? I am scared to order from BalNY and then not like it.

I am supposed to get a call today from my gal at NM to see if she is getting that combo (SGH). She was talking directly with their buyer so I should know one way or other. I haven't talked to Barneys for a week or so, no one there would give me an answer as to if they had it coming in or not. They acted like they wouldn't know until or if it came in. NM is definitely more helpful!!!!!

Interesting list that they provided with colors - it seems to confirm the S/S list that has been floating around. Unfortunately, they didn't let us in on the collection colors for S/S 08 yet.

PS: Sorry about not being able to find your bag. I had this problem with the FB - there were several styles that just never got produced.:crybaby:

I think that is pretty interesting that they inadvertently told you what the s/s '08 colors are!! I don't suppose you could write them back and ask for color swatches for all those colors they listed? ;) :nuts:
