O.K. today I really went to Barneys CH (yesterday I went to Barneys Boston and mistakenly wrote CH, which was edited). And yes, I do have other things I'm supposed to be doing than checking out local Bbags. I stopped by to check for sale items and was shocked that they have some pre-spring bags! Last year it seemed like they were so far behind Bal NY in getting bags that I didn't expect anything until at least January. I think the SAs were surprised too. PRE-SPRING: They have some pre-spring bags with the giant hardware, in white, grass green, truffle, cafe, and black. I thought the nicest was the white brief, which had gorgeous leather. I do not personally like the huge gold hardware at all, but thought it looked best with white and browns. They also have a few new colors with classic hardware, including the brief in white (nice leather), a grass green first, and a truffle bag (work, maybe). I like cafe a lot, it is fairly dark (but I don't think as dark as 05 chocolate) and has warm undertones. I also like truffle, I thought the color looked a bit darker and richer than the fall truffle bags I saw. Overall, I thought the leather was fairly nice, but white was the only color that I thought had amazing leather. INK: They have an ink courier with nice leather and an ink twiggy (leather is reasonably nice, but looks like it needs some conditioning). SALE: Only a few and no moto bags Large ink hook bag $999 (orig. over $1600) Ink and light brown mirror bags $859 I think (orig. $1295) If interested, # is 617.969.5354 (I recomm. asking for Peter).
Thanks for posting City! I love your descriptions! I was going to go there today but was not feeling well! I cannot believe they actually have some of the new bags! Hopefully I will be able t check it out tomorrow!
I'm sorry you weren't feeling well. Hope you feel better and can check them out. I'd love to hear what you think.
Uh oh ... I have to go to Barneys (CH) today; I better leave my wallet home ... I'm trying SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard to be good!
