can someone explain the 07 anthra to me?? I've heard some people say it has NO green undertones and other say it's teal.. which to me suggests a mix of green blue? I have seen pics which is hard to gauge from but can someone sort of describe this for me?

people seem to love the 07 anthra. also I thought gris tarmac was going to be true slate gray, no undertones. thoughts ??

Hi! The 07 Anthras varied a bit with undertones - grey/teal/blue. My GGH AnthraDay a very neutral shade of greyed out slightly teal blue. I would consider 07 Anthra a blue bag - and it sparkled liked a mad ocean when it was new:p;).

Here are some pics, in the group photo you can see how blue Anthra looks next to Pine. Hope this helps!

I prefer cloth as well: it's easier to repair if it tears (which after three solid years of heavy use, it still hasn't).

Plastic feels hot and clammy when I'm in a hot country rummaging through my MU to find a small items.

Maybe plastic is cheaper to manufacture and practical for make-up spills, but plastic's toxic manufacture is awful for the environment and humans.

i am getting mixed up, sorry. so, is 2012 balen all leather are made from "hamilton" or is it only for holiday season only?
and as for the button, all 2012 would be in 12 , that's what i understand. Is that correct? TIA

The Hamilton leather was for the 2011/12 Holiday season only. All the other bags will continue to be Agneau.

Giant HW (also referred to as G21) is also discontinued for 2012.

I just bought a S/S 2012 bag and the leather is not Hamilton. I think there are only specific bags/colors available in the Hamilton leather. As for the studs, the SA at Barneys told me they haven't received any G21 hardware at all in the new collection, only G12.

That is correct .. the Hamilton leather came in: Gris Poivre, Bordeaux, Chataigne, Ciment and Glycine.

confused also because Mango is out already ?? or am I confused about which color it is that I'm seeing at bal NY and barneys NY? thought it was mango and SA confirmed but you know how that goes ..........

It can't be Mango; that's not due until mid-Summer (at the earliest!). Sad, but I've heard so many stories about the Bal S/A's not knowing about their own stinkin' merchandise!! UFB!!!

hmm i cannot - didn't take a pic but I will next time I'm at barneys. It was very orange sherbert-y, the bag I saw.

Brunettetiger was there also, maybe she remembers what I'm referring to ??

Ah - that's likely the current Rose Blush -or- could be last season's Vieux Rose.

that's possible definitely but IRL this bag seemed more yellow-y, like that color but yellowy if that makes sense. it makes no sense for it to be mango obviously so I think the SAs were just totally confused, so it must be rose bluse.

Hmmmm - could also be an old Moutarde (Mustard) which was a yellow with Orange undertones (but def more bright Yellow).

Hi sweetk :smile1: I can only speak about the 07 Anthra that I have seen in person, it was such a lovely neutral. I have bought and sold two other Anthras since hoping it was just close to that Anthra, alas, they were not. The 07 Anthra I saw had beautiful blue teal undertones. Just really lovely! Striking, a lot of depth, yet very neutral matching withe everything! *Sigh* :smile1:
