Okay ... to make up for the fact that I quite literally tore out of my office at work to get to the Barneys NY at the Chestnut Hill Mall (after I heard they had the Rouge Vif) ... I figured that I needed to post the fact that they still have a fair amount of bags left (sorry ... they aren't on sale, but I know that some of you are still looking for these colors/styles). So, here it goes and advance pardon as my memory is a little faulty (due to my extreme excitement after scoring the Rouge Vif bag!!). 2006 Pre-Spring & Spring Lilac - Work, City, Box, Twiggy & First Cornflower Blue - Work, First and {I think} City Rouille - Weekender, Work, City and First White - Courier Black - Courier & Purse Grey (Gris Fonce) - Work and City Ink - First 2006 Fall !!! Truffe - Weekender, Work, Mini Compagnon & Mini Coin Purse Grenat - Work and First (if I remember correctly, there was another style available, but for the life of me - I can't remember!) Greige - Work Rouge Vif - First (oops ... sold ... TO ME!!) Now ... my thoughts on the Fall colors/leather: Truffe - I had high hopes for this color (based on the LuisaviaRoma PDF). Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations ... I thought it had too much of a olive undertone and the leather was so smooth that IMHO ... it looked fake. This was true for all the Truffe bags. Grenat - beautiful color!!!!! Looked very much like the 2005 Pre-Fall Bordeaux but a little more brown. Leather was better than the Truffe, but not as crinkly/distressed as I usually like it. I would highly recommend this color though. Greige - a very light Grey; frankly, I didn't like it. It reminded me of the Silver (Argent) color ... more on the light/silver side whereas the 2006 Spring Grey (Gris Fonce) is darker and is more reminiscent of the Pewter color (I've been mulling over this one). Rouge Vif - absolutely STUNNING!!! In my opinion, this color is bound to be one of the classics like the Mustard, Anis, Eggplant, etc. The Barneys/Chestnut Hill # is: (617) 969-5354 ... ask for Peter (he's the *B*E*S*T* S/A there!!!) Good luck!!!!
Grenat - Work and First (if I remember correctly, there was another style available, but for the life of me - I can't remember!) It was the day/hobo
I do love Monica (my sardinian friend) also!! Poor Peter ... I told him he was going to probably be inundated with phone calls!!!
oh, ceejay... i've already told you on tfs, but congrats on your fire engine classique. i'm sure Barney's will get flooded with calls soon and they have you to thank.
