Still going back and forth on the 712 flap/camera bag. I'm wondering if the pink is somewhat iridescent or has a sheen since it's called "pink peacock?" The tahitian tide print is a great price but it sure is overly busy... anyone want to sway me in one direction or another? :angel: To be honest, I'm not particularly fond of either color/print. Probably just tempted due to the price.

What do you guys think of the new Izak graffiti print on the 712 flap? I thought it looked somewhat funky/rocker but worry it might look too juvenile (as that print on the backpack looks a bit childish). Now that I look at it, the print reminds me of doodle prints you might see on LeSportsac.

The price is soooooo tempting with the extra 15% off!! I've also been tempted to buy!

I think with HB, they're always releasing new styles and updating old styles (+ always having sales) that I would rather wait for something that stole my heart than buy something I felt unsure about :)

I haven't seen the graffiti print! Where did you see it?

I didn’t inspect the pink peacock up close but it didn’t seem to have any kind of sheen to me. Just straight bright pink.

You are so right! Thank you for reassuring my gut feeling and preventing unnecessary spending. :amuse: They do try to lure you with the additional sale on top of sale like you said! I'm gonna assign you as my interventional specialist when these sales happen lol.

Here's a look at the print, they were on the invitation/mailer hence the low quality. I hope they release other colors that do steal my heart!

You ladies are so quick to respond and helpful, thank you! Hmm ok, better not order then. I shouldn't be considering pink in the first place! lol

Haha! Happy to help :drinks: stay strong! But if you have a moment of weakness, definitely share with us and I'll cheer on your new purchase too :lol::graucho:

Ooh, I quite like that graffiti print but it's definitely not for me. I'm not one for embellishment!

as someone who prefers clean lines and colorblocking, I must say I really enjoyed seeing the new "Modern sport" collection at the flagship store! In particular, empire hobo, west 57th mini hobo, and a new Marquis satchel are on my radar for a semi-annual sale in the summer :biggrin:

I have always admired HB bags, but never pulled the trigger on getting one. I am LOVING that Empire Hobo! I am going to keep an eye out for that one later this year...

I was unsure to post this in the identify threads or here, but I'm trying to find a bag I saw based on description. I'm pretty sure I saw it in February 2015 in the Chicago Henri Bendel store in Watertower Place. The bag I'm looking for appeared leather with asymmetric panels arranged in big facets towards the bottom of the bag. The seams of the panels had contrast edging. It was about 16" wide and 12" tall. I've searched and searched for "faceted bag" "asymmetrical seam bag" etc and haven't found what I saw. I've even searched the collections from late 2014 to 2015. It looked a bit like the Loewe Puzzle leather bag, but it definitely wasn't that one!
