Maybe retailers like NM and independents like E are considered non-boutique? I'm kinda bummed bcos he's good at picking leather for me. If I'm ordering online it would be a lucky draw. Sigh.

Pictures, dragonette... pictures - don't get one without getting pictures from every angle and under every light - I've found myself to be 100x happier when I have (even if it drove the SA crazy):smile1:
 
Hi dragonette, there may be some Lagon pieces available in some boutiques, as I definitely saw and felt-up a Lagon mGSH City in Cultstatus in Thursday last week.

Cult Status is Oz right? I think they meant the US! :yes:

Unfortunately, buying from Bal.com means I cannot be asking for peektures... :girlsigh:

Oh noooo, dragonete!!

I suspect the leathers will all be stunning: the two I have seen from totally different places all have the same distressed, deeply saturated leathers with loads of distressing. I'll keep my fingers tightly crossed for a luscious Lagon for you.

Aww thank you! :heart: I certainly hope so! I'm also worried about defects as I'm shipping to a friend and wouldn't want to put her through the hassle of returning and exchanging!
 
I think it depends on preference .. I saw Bleute, and it's a GORGEOUS color!! Lagon is definitely a more Turquoise(y)/Teal undertoned Blue; whereas Bleute has more purple undertones. I would think Bleute would be more versatile, but then again .. I suppose it depends on your wardrobe.

Do you know how the Bleute compares to Outremer? I'm tempted to purchase something in Bleute but i already have an Outremer city. I might take a pass if it's too similar.
 
WOWZA you guys... Lagon is fantastic! A juicy, saturated, jewel-toned turquoise-petrol color very similar to turq '05 but made as a fall jewel tone color. Incredible leather too, looks great w/mRGGH, this gives it a bit of warmth. :love:
I would post pics of my Hip, but the mobile app doesn't let me. Will do so later!

I finally got my Latte Velo from Cannes yesterday. Personally I love it but I think it's quite a difficult color and you have to see it IRL before you order it. To me it has some green/khaki undertones and not much of a rich and creamy beige I'd expected from just the name "latte". IMO it's more like a mix between camel and papyrus. It's not a warm color ( like p.e. seigle was )
Here is Latte with Papyrus...( on my screen color is quite close to RL )

and here with two of my other velos as well ( Praline and Corde ( Suede, on the floor ), which is pretty similar to Seigle...)

Oh I adore these pics, you have a great neutral bags here! Papyrus looks amazing.. and I really like the suede city.. it's so unique!
 
Lagon is a deeper, stronger color, my cyclade is lighter and doesn't have the same depth.

Gorgeous, hon! I'm so jealous! I used to have a Cyclade RGGH and have regretted every day that I decided to let her go. I think this is the color that I truly have been looking for. Would you mind posting a comparison pic of your Cyclade and Lagoon? I would really appreciate it. :smile1:
