A new kind of ball bag

[ami kio]

It has the sloane's single compartment -- the original ball's four pockets have gone away, and it's just one big open compartment. It does have an interior removeable pouch, zippered.

It has the campana's opening i.e., no flaps like the sloane, but a buckle strap.

It has the sloane's rings but from what I could see they are not leather wrapped? not sure about this last tho...can someone else confirm?

and the model i saw did not have the curved seams of the original ball.

To be honest I prefer the outside of the current ball and the inside of the new ball!!

Not sure which outside I prefer, but I definitely prefer the inside of the current ball bag. I compartments! I wonder if they'll put the old-style ball bags on sale....

^^ I second that, I practically live in my ball bag and depend on those compartments! I hope they didn't change it too too much, I really love the 'old style'!

Today my SA told me the new Ball has a removable pouch?? He was a little baffled and seemed on the fence about the bag in general.

I'm new to BV and so a little confused here

I have a Ball in Limo and another on the way in Ebano because I love the style so much Do we know for sure if the "old" Ball is being discontinued? It's an Icon piece on BV's website which I assumed meant it would here for a while longer yet? I will contact my SA in tomorrow and see what she say's
