ok BAD NEWS !!
I JUST SPOKE WITH MILAN STORE MANAGER AT THE PHONE:chatty: AND TOLD ME THAT THE COMPANY DECIDED TO DON'T PRODUCE BAGS IN VERT MENTHE (AT LEAST FOR EUROPE)

SO VERT MENTHE WILL COME ONLY ON SMALL ACCESSORIES:cry::crybaby::sad:
THAT'S EXPLAIN WHY NOBODY ORDERED IT...

(THOUGH I HOPE IT IS NOT TRUE)

They probably canceled the production of bags (if it's true there will be none) after they offered the color at market because not enough buyers liked it and bought it. It doesn't happen all the time, but I guess it isn't that unusual. They gave a party and nobody came. :tumbleweed:

Remember 2007 Jaune? Remember the fact that they did NOT produce The First in 07 Jaune? They said it was due to 'production problems;' yet they still managed to make nearly every other style plus accessories in Jaune.

Just throwing that out there. (Who knows why they do what they do...)

And UHHHH, FB is back? :nuts: I need to see it to believe it. :amazed:
 
The picture that I saw of VM .. was not an "deep emerald turquois" at all; it was more like a very dark Pine Green with teal undertones. When I saw it, all I could think of was brackish swamp water (kind of like how my '09 Black RH PT looks now :tdown::cursing: ).


Got a chance to see this color IRL-its definitely an earthy swampy brown toned green. Not for me, no way!! BLAH!
 
I got a confirmation from my SA that VM will only be made with accessaries. Could it be a production problem that the dyed leather result doesn't come out as expected? Who knows? :shrugs: But I am glad my wallet is safe for now.
 
Ughh... I asked a Bal SA about VM yesterday and I got an e-mail from him that as far as he knows his store has ordered bags in VM. He said he is going to look into it further though and let me know in a few days. I don't know why there is so much intrigue over this color, but it is actually starting to turn me off rather than make me want it more.
 
'Mo, 'mo, 'mo Intel ... :yahoo:

... not only is Balenciaga bringing back the GGH (for certain colors), but they will also be doing a new version of the Flat Brass!!! Can we say 'oldies ALERT'!!?!?!!?

My 'source' was not in the store today; plan to make a visit this weekend to get more info!!!



Holy cr*p! WAAAAAAAAY excited for this news!! Please, please, please, come in the city!!
 
Just saw two small hip stlye bags in nordies w/ flat sh - the leather was smooth and they had a hip but conservative feel to them- there was something about them that i really liked!

Aaaaaah ... next time, SPY pics are a must, 'kay?!?! :graucho:;)

I had heard that it was just Flat Brass, but Silver too .. :yahoo:!!!!
 
They were about 12 x11ish smooth rich learher like a briefcase type leather and then had these little small 1/4x1/4" shiny silver squares that ran up the strap if i remember correctly.
