^I've inquired about this before from Aloha Rag, and they have said that Bal is using a different type of glue and that the tassels will hold better than the ones from previous years. Who knows if that is true or not..but it seems like a very good excuse.

not true... because I have brought a 08 ruby city, and the tassels have split in 3 days!

"BRING BACK SPARE TASSELS!"

plus inside pocket is MUCH deeper!

I know that the Part-Time DOES NOT have a Metal Tag, just leather. What I dislike the most about the '08 bags:

1) No pocket on the back of the Mirror
2) Part-Time bags - no more feet on the bottom

mymy I know how you feel my city is 3 weeks old and 3 tassels have split! So much for making them better. I guess I have to call the store and BUY extra tassels...

Can anyone with a new FW 08 bbag post pics of the changes we are seeing this season?

The mirror is now a different size and no longer has the back 'pocket'
The silver tag no longer reads '925' possible denoting that it is no longer made from true silver
Anything else?

No tassels, right?

Cheers! :flowers:

You're so right!

I've just looked at my new argent twiggy, and flipped the mirror. I didn't notice until I read this post. Slow. Yep, no back pocket. I already knew that they'd swiped the extra tassels. :push:Why do we have to order some extra tassels for more dollar$? :cursing::cursing::cursing: And yet, Balenciaga have pushed up their prices. This is not good service. Do they really want to allienate their fans? :tdown:

Isnt the inner pocket imbedded as well? its not gusseted like the older ones?

Yup,
you're absolutely correct. My twiggy has the imbedded pocket, not the traditional gusseted pocket. The gusseted pocket showed real crafstmanship and attention to detail, as opposed to this much simpler style. Somehow, I think it's got something to do with cutting costs, maximising profits. How can they justify raising prices if they're compromising on quality? Boo! Not cool :cursing::cursing::cursing:

Is this true that they are no longer putting the metal feet on the part time? My gawd, that is one of the reasons i LOVE the part time. First they take away our tassels and now the feet on the Part time! I am wondering why.:confused1:

s/s 08 still has feet, f/w 08 doesn't.

On my rh part times the feet do NOTHING to protect the bottom of the bag. The leather is so floppy it sits right on the floor anyway.
