New bbag model? Flap?

[RealDealCollection]

I have a couple modeling pics of the Flat Brass Flap compared to the First/Classique:

^ Yes, that Classique is a F/W '03 Dark Chocolate Brown with pewter hardware!

One of the coolest things about this Flap bag is the strap is truly just a belt, therefore, you can have a leather craftsman, like ArtBag in NYC, custom make you an extra length of matching belt to buckle onto the other and extend the strap into a messenger style bag. One of my dear friends did just that with one of the Flat Brass Flap bags we sold and it looks so good on her! It doesn't change the original bag at all, just adds another way to wear it. Pure Genius ;o)

Corey! You're adorable as always. I wish I could be you in that first pic. That 03 Chocolate is calling my name and will haunt me in my dreams!

Thanks for the comparo!

toe and enc - I really like it. I'm gonna check it out next time I'm at Barney's. Hopefully they've still got it.

Any idea how much this little wonder is?

I believe it's $995.

Thanks, RERE, you're sweet. That bag haunts me too. Luckily it went to a lovely PFer! I would love to see this new "Flap Reissue" are they using the antiqued brass hardware or something else?

Oh, a flap reissue does sound delicious~ Thanks so much for the modelling shots Corey!

The belt detail of the reissue seems to be slightly different from Corey's photos. Last time I looked at it, the buckles are at the sides and not on the strap. Hence I thought it's non-adjustable. I may be wrong tho.

Oh, I must go back to Bal store next week to have another look!

^^ Keep us updated pretty please.

Hello sorry for getting back late. I finally had another look of it and the shoulder strap is indeedie adjustable! So corey's suggestion would work on the new flap. I also found that the inside pocket is made by leather and not attached to the lining. When I flipped it over, I surprisingly found a mirror embedded behind! How cute is that! No worries for where to store the mirror on this cutie then Retail is £475 here.
