The Mangue on the Balenciaga website looks yummy
It looks like the price increase hasn't reached the US yet.
And it also looks like the new Bal hips have adjustable straps!
Oh, good eye!!! I wish they'd do that with some of their other styles.
It is nice that the Hip has a new adjustable strap! However they also took away the lobster clip which allows it to easily convert to a shoulder bag with a smaller drop. I really liked that feature and often switched from crossbody to shoulder, so I am a little sad. Maybe it still will convert, but I am just not seeing how.

Also, with the same way of thinking and worrying whether a bag be sold out or not I have bought one and then regreted on not being a little more patient. So my advice would be to take your time and think about it.
Do you mean that some of the colours get re-released again so you have more chances in the future? That would be so wonderful! I missed out on gris poivre in the right combo and papyrus and feel really sad
sahara or praline would also make me very happy. I was hopeful about cumin but it looks more olive than beige.I got this from my SA since I am interested in the comparison between Mimosa and Mangue. In this picture Mangue looks more orange than I have ever seen it. Would love to see this comparison on two bags with these colours.

I don't know if they get re-released but you can find them. I bought two Papyrus bags this January and March.

Mangue looks perfect, wow!!!
I must prepare myself for one but which style? Hmmm?
I agree! I was hoping Mangue was going to be more like 07 Jaune but I think it looks more like Moutard. I'd love to see a comparison pic between Mangue, Moutard & Jaune. That'd be awesome!
But for sure, this color has nothing to do with Mimosa which is a bright, light yellow color. Stunning BTW!
My thoughts exactly. I like it as a color but I don't know how I would match it with my outfits. It would be nice with jeans and all but with black I think I would look like a bee.

I really like Jaune & Mimosa but I don't like Moutard. I had one and I sold it. JMHO! It'd better for me to wait for comparison pics or see it IRL before I make a decision about this color.
Ladies! I've a question; if the Mangue hip is out, wouldn't the Citys n such be available too?
I'm really confused! And I'm in Europe now so I'm REALLY hoping to see Mangue! I'm going to check out the newly opened bal boutique in Venice! Hehe hopefully the bags are in store already
