I spoke with Bill earlier and finally gave in to my turquoise urge (twiggy- predictable, I know.. but you all know my chances of finding a mint 05 twiggy).. so I'm on the waitlist. I just want more pictures nowwwwww heh
 
I just put myself on the wait list fora Turquoise City. It was so hard to resist Bubblegum or Magenta but I only have a Rouge VIF bag so I figured I might go a blue route for bag number two!
 
This surely has to be a very accurate pic of Vert Thyme???

The lighting is soft and it doesn't look like a flash has been used. There are no angles either. It does look completely different to the "Dolma-looking" Vert Thyme on that pic of the model. Surely the colour can't change this much - from a dusty pale olive, to the Mystery-Greenish swatch, to this almost flat Vert Gazon-ish green. Perhaps this is a LE green, especially brought out for this bag? I'd love to know!!!

I know lots of us want a dusty army green / dolma green...But I wish for a lighter Mystery Green!
 
I'm not an authority, but I don't think the green on the print bag is the new thyme. I asked a buyer friend, who looked at her line sheet, and she confirnmed that in at least one instance, the color was listed as "vert gazon." It makes sense, because the bright grass green goes better with the bright colors in the print. There are a lot of print bag variations we haven't seen, and I have no idea whether all of them with green leather have VG, but at least some do. I think in some cases the trim is described as "dark green." No idea what that is.
 
the clothes were insane...
soooo gorgeous...the detailing and craftsmanship was just extraordinary...
i preordered a pair of shoes, but not from the runway (although they had those too)...
i didn't have much time...i'm going to go back tomorrow after work...

anyone that's seen the vert thyme, is it like this?

Sorry, I haven't read this thread in awhile but yes, it looks just like this. Saw it at the Barneys BH trunk show. Looks like a true sage.

I'm so confused- LOL. It doesn't look anything at all like this in the pictures Starbrite posted from the Barney's BH trunk show: http://forum.purseblog.com/balencia...-trunk-show-barneys-beverly-hills-200599.html

She has actual pictures of the Sage from that show, and in those pics, the sage looks boring and totally unworthy of upwards of $1000.00. I would LOVE for Sage to look like that picture with the girl with the orange shoes, but that is NOT what Starbrite's pics show!

Aaaaagggghhh! I'm confused! :confused1:
 
IRL it looks like a much lighter version then starbrites's pics - it is definitely not as dark as the photo. I just remember thinking - that really looks like sage. It's closer to the Bal pic above maybe not as yellow.
 
Wow, thanks for all that input rollergirl, simona & aerynna...that really helped me. Rollergirl, that would make sense (as you said) that was actually Vert Gazon on the floral pink bag. I thought it looked more like a VG. I have listened to all of this...I am already down for a Sage City, but I think if it's light Sage (like the Bal pic) I may have to give it a miss...
