Bal Intel - F/W 2011

[NYCavalier]

Different-that picture is lighter than the one I saw (at the SCP Bal Boutique-they only got one bag in). I am thinking the lighting in that store is not that fabulous, and maybe that particular bag was icky? I am liking VM from that picture, and am betting it was just that bag that was funky, KWIM?

UGH now I want it again, and want to see more bags IRL in it!

So the US DID order it?!

^^Yup but in limited supply. Bal SCP got one VM RGGH PT in. Thats it!

It looks like a dark Aquamarine on my monitor.

Yep, exactly what I thought. Looks to be a shade darker than Aquamarine with more green than blue.

Thanks! Yep, I want it again too. I have to see IRL. Maybe it was the lighting in the store that made it look funky or maybe the RGGH hardware? The bag depicted in the pic is gorg!

Holy Cow .. didn't even know about this site; where the heck have I been?!?! Alas, everything seems to be 'SOLD OUT' ... BOO!

You know what .. the Vert Menthe in that picture looks a LOT like the '04 S/S "Mystery" Green!!

To my eyes from my monitor, This Vert Menthe looks like darker version of 06 Blue india or something in-between 2010 Canard and 09 Tempete.

Well, I don't want to get into the Chevre/Agneau debate, but the Calfskin is (IMO) more like the old Chevre leather, except that it starts out softer to begin with.

I think one of the reasons why people don't necessarily like the Papier Tote is because they want the structure, and Calfskin's softness really doesn't lend itself to a structured bag per se. That's why I think the Calfskin line for the City and other-like Moto-style bags will be SUPERB!!!

I agree.

It looks more like canard to me - there's teal in there for sure!

Vert Menthe looks beautiful! OK... hate to repeat myself on a rant.... but WHY WHY WHY would would all the US buyers pass on this beautiful color and stock their stores with Vieux Rose???? WHY?????

 

[CeeJay]

Well, I'm neither a "green" fan or a "teal" fan .. so, VM is not for me. I'm going to save my $$$ for the F/W colors!!!

NO KIDDING ... I think we need to need to bag-slap the US buyers; any volunteers?!?!
