Opinions! Do you think Barneys Lilac will be the exact same color as NM 09 LE Lilac?

It was so strange that NM had a sought after exclusive, would only order a relative few, so would just end up creating a market for Barneys to sell tons of them. I don't know if there is an official answer as to who will have it, but I was first told by BALNY and NM that only NM would have it. Then that was revised to say Barneys would have it about a month later. Maybe NM is protesting the non-exclusivity of the lilac now that they know they are selling. Who knows? I can't imagine it would be a different lilac. I hope by spring collection BALNY will have it, in all styles. The other NM exclusive, the new version of the shoulder (called the Hip or something) will be in the spring lineup. So I'm just hoping - no inside scoop to base that on.
 
Wishful thinking:
NM does their LE RH Lilac City now and then in SS 2010, Bal comes out with Lilac GGH and GSH in all styles! Yummmm, I imagine a Lilac GGH Day in my collection. :thinkin::faint:
 
Okay now I'm totally confused.

The SA at SF Barney's said she had to grab the "look book" and found the Lilac in there. Now, I don't typically deal with her b/c I don't buy retail, but she sounded like she knew what she was talking about.

I'm with the others to are just gonna wait and see if Barney's will get them. I'll also call to confirm but haven't had time b/c I'm leaving for vacation tonight.

Any info you guys can dig up would be great! Though it sounds like I might have to start the search at NM when I return... or possibly...while I am in Cancun? LOL.

^^Are you sure she wasn't looking at a "new pink" swatch that's due for '10? Maybe she thought it was lilac'ish???
 
Does anyone have any updates on the lilacs from barney's yet?
I'm assuming they are all the same. Neiman's last le bag said neiman's. The new lilac does not.
Just hoping some day for an ggh/sgh lilac!
 
I had 2 different Barney's SAs email me to put me on waiting list but no information yet from them about arrivals. They said that the Lilac would be in First/Day/City style with option of reg and covered hardware.
