Oh no, now I am scared that my cobalt will bleed/fade!!!
For such an expensive bag & coming from a big luxury house, there shouldn't be any problems whatsoever! :s
I just posted this on a different thread, but you have to be careful with blue bags in general. It's something with the dye (the BV SA also mentioned this.) I've never owned a BV blue, but have had a few Balenciaga blues. One did fade, and the other (the one in my picture) has help up quite well. As for the bleeding, it would be onto clothing. Your best bet would be to call the BV store and ask the best way to care for the bag.
I ordered a blue wallet. Do you think it would fade onto the suede inside the bag?
All of the BV pieces I own are various blues (except for two SLG pieces, in ottone and parma chevre). I haven't had anything fade or bleed, and I wear them all in the rain.
I remember that old thread, but no one else had the same experience. It could have been something about the coat.

Just need to vent it out. Pls pardon the long post.
At the first few days of the presale period, once I received the accessories list, I email our Hawaii SA about some enquires and preorder 2 items (medium cosmetic pouch + 1 azure business card case). About 1 or 2 days later, I got a confirmation from the SA that is helping our Hawaii SA that she has reserved the 2 items for me and will reply on my enquires later.
Since its crazy sale period, I can understand and also add on 2 more items (medium cosmetic pouch + 1 matita business card case) for my friend.
She also did revert to mention that she has reserved all 4 items for me. Since my friend wants a curry Sloane so I asked her about it too.
One day before the sale started, I still did not get a reply so I email again. Our Hawaii SA reply that he is trying to locate the Curry Sloane and say that he has put in a request to transfer from another boutique, he asked if I am okay with waiting for confirmation but for the meantime he need my cc details to confirm the order for the 4 items that I have reserved. So I reply with my cc details.
On the day that sales start, one TPF’er and I decided to combine shipping so we email the same Hawaii SA. He asked me for my cc details again so I send him again and ask for confirmation on my 4 items. Then I get shocking news that my azure business card case is gone.
So I emailed him again and told him that just one day ago, he mention that all 4 items are reserved and ask me for my cc details. But I did not get a reply so I thought that calling him will be faster and less confusing but he is on leave for 2 days.
So now I can only patiently wait for reply on my email. I hope that I will not go from 4 reserved items to 3 items to zero. :cry::cry:

Has anyone heard from Bryan? I normally get a quick response through e-mail. It's been two days & I am left hanging regarding my Int bag which was available. I am just hoping Bryan did reserve it for me! :s
Also, there are these posts regarding transfer onto lighter SLGs and the color fading/rubbing off after less than a year:

(posts 1, 3, 10 in the second link--two tPFers had the wear-off of oceano)
These aren't specifically about cobalt, but I remembered them when I read about the cobalt transferring onto the coat. Maybe all four instances are completely unrelated to them being blue BVs, who knows. I suppose any dark or bright color would have this susceptibility. I hope they were isolated occurrences only.
I got a brand new bag this time!!!! So happy, and they were apologetic!! That was clearly NOT A NEW BAG!!My day is starting on a good note once again!!
Great news! I'm so pleased that they made it right for you!
Roland in NYC told me things might show up when "the dust settles" on Saturday. Are there any bags semi- traditional bags still out there? Or has everything for the most part been snagged? I told my mother about this sale three days ago, but NOW she wants something. TIA!
I saw some gorgeous bags in San Francisco on Friday that customers had decided against -- a seamless tote (!) in ebano, and three mini capris (2 ebano, 1 nero). Also some wallets and cosmetic cases in mela and orange.
Who knows if they are still there? If you call, I think it's best to ask for a specific item...instead of saying e.g. "Do you have any wallets left?" I think all the SAs have PTSD!
It's always worth a shot. I saw a woman buying a nero capris at the NYC store on Friday. I was 10 minutes too late! But other than that, the pickings were slim. I'll call around for her tomorrow and hope to get lucky.
My friend and I both found a Large Copper Rame Veneta in AZ on Friday afternoon, so who knows. We were surprised they were still available.
