I've bought and paid for the bag. Thanks for the feedback. I will post photo's of all my bags when I finally get back to the UK. This green twiggy is going to the states though so I won't get it until July.
Damn...I'm angry for you Balenciaga-Brit. Can't believe "one of us" would be that under-handed over a handbag. Disgusting.I just found out that a fellow purse former has gone behind my back and offered the seller alot more money as she recogised the photo's. I am fuming. I am waiting to hear back from the seller. This will be the last time I will ask an opinion before I buy. Seems you can't trust anyone.
good advice mimzGo for it! The combination of leather and hardware is no comparison to the '06 emerald (IMO)!
