For some strange reason, haven't heard diddly about Lagon or the other colors. Meanwhile, heard through the grapevine that Bal is having "production" issues, so now I'm wondering if these will see the light of day.

Oh no, I've been looking so forward to Lagon. I sure hope it's not going to be canceled.

Also, my SA said she is not sure if Poker Fonce will be available in the U.S. Do you have any intel on that?

I was at Barney's in Chicago yesterday and saw the Rose Thulian, mango, and cumin. They were just unpacking them while I was there and they let me see them! I was a little disappointed in the cumin, I dunno, just a little bland for my liking, but the Rose T. was out of this world. However my favorite ended up being the Mango. I like it better than moutarde really. Also yesterday I spoke to the SA at Neiman Marcus on Michigan Avenue. They don't sell Bal at that location, but she had some returns she brought out of the back room. Again, the rose t was beautiful, AND she said that this winter, Bal will open a boutique in the Michigan Avenue store finally!

Seriously? Maybe the quality will get picked up again? :)

If Poker Fonce is a dark green, then I believe ****** (US based online store - authentic) has Poker Fonce in various styles now.

Thank you all for the intel! :-)

Finally my cassis mrggh TT arrived today, I love it!!! The color is burgundy with a very dark pink undertone, almost like mixed with blackberries. Yumm :) I'll post a pic later, the mobile app doesn't work.

Hi CeeJay,

I'm torn between Gris Tarmac and Latte.. Which 1 should I go for..Plan to have it as an everyday bag? Have you seen both colour in person? Which 1 looks better?

As an everyday bag, you might want to go with the Gris Tarmac. The Latte, while very pretty, might be too light and would show the wear & tear more easily.
