B.Fendi or Celine Clandestine

Tammy! Did you pick up your celine clandestine? I want to see pics! :nuts: Is it the large that's in the pic (i.e., does it have the front soufflet pocket and two side pockets), or is the slightly smaller one carried by Jessica Stam?

It's the large one, the one with 2 pockets at the side :P
I will post pictures once I get my camera ready.
 
hi girls, my first post here.. (being naughty and straying from TFS bc of u greendrv!:amuse: ).. can't wait for your pics either to confirm the blush suitcase size.. back in january when i called celine paris, they said 'non commercialise' as well.. so.. i'm really excited about seeing your photos. really can't wait!

just last week, the buyer for celine north america said 'everything that was produced, we've ordered'.. so if indeed paris changed their mind about producing the suitcase size, NA should be getting the suitcase too unless it is exclusive to europe.. i say that bc the only feature i've seen of it so far was in Wallpaper* magazine (UK publication) in this months edition.. though i do rbr someone spotting it in a US harpers bazaar a month or two ago.. ahh.. i hope i'm not getting my hopes up again..

ok.. sorry for the outloud pondering.. again, can't wait for pics!:shame:

btw.. if it is the one with 2 pockets on the side and not with the souffle on the side.. perhaps it would be the long shoulder size?
 
i would love to see picts of the clandestine too! i'm eyeing on the small one as an evening bag though... how does the leather feel? what do you think of the hardware?
 
Nordstrom/Celine (SCP) finally have Cladestine in Black/Luggage/Cream (Large/Medium/Small) ones made with calfskin. I personally didn't like the feel/look of calfskin -- not as soft so these bags are more structured than what I had in mind. I am still waiting for Medium Powder/Blush in Lambskin.

Tammy where are the pics!!! Dying to see and if you dont mind me asking..How much is the size you got??! I so want that bag!

Hi Jill, if there was anyone I would post photos for, its you. You seem to like this bag so much :biggrin: I do too. I'm still in Paris right now, so I don't have my computer cables with me to upload the photos. I bought it at Celine boutique at rue de Renne for 1450 euros, minus 12% detaxe when I leave the country. This is the one with the pocket in front and 2 pockets at the side, its the large size. According to the SA, powder is only available in France. The large size will be available in ivory and black outside here. The lambskin is luxurious, but it is not as soft as it looks in the photos. A little stiff so it holds the shape. Will post photos as soon as I get back to my computer!!

The dimensions are approx. 16" in width and 12" in height. It is roomy. I have to tell you that the powder pink color isn't as light as it seems. It is a little like light peach, a very beautiful sophisticated color.

Jill - the bag wasn't available in September. It only just came into stores in Paris. Most stores have the smaller medium size, and only a few have the large size but even then in limited pieces. I have checked for you, detaxe is 12%, and they can deliver the bag to you in the US, but you will have to pay for shipping and taxes (I don't know how much). They will not under-declare the value of the bag, so it would make sense for you to find out what the tax is, in case you end up paying a lot of money to have the bag sent to you.
 
both the NY buyer and paris said the long blush was never produced, only cream, luggage, and black.. :sad:
tammy! pls post photos as soon as you can, I've been fervently checking this thread in anticipation! i really wish that those SAs were just saying that try coax me into purchasing whats immediately available.. if indeed the blush long was produced, i will hunt it down no matter what.. :love:
