On barneys.com they have a retro white first? What makes it retro or has anyone heard of this?

Not sure why they're calling it Retro, but looks like a regular brass hardware white First to me.

A lot of the new bags on Barney's site appear to have nickel RH! Ignore the giant description. It's wrong.

look at:

This is so exciting! Does this mean I can get a jet black 09 city with nickel RH???

In the photos on the website, the hardware looks like the usual antiqued brass... could it be that the "nickel" refers to the GH - the label that was mistakenly attached to RH bags? this would be my guess...

Hmm... well, I zoomed in and panned around on those bags and the hw indeed does look nickel...

I agree the Framboise looks brass, but the others look nickel. The croc bag is definitely not brass...

Another point here... I just went to examine my antha 09 RH bag and her hardware looks like gunmetal/nickel from some angles. The hardware is a different color from my grenat work when compared side by side.

But then why would the descriptions say nickel and one even says retro?

Croc bags always had shiny silver-tone hardware, as well as some other special-edition bags - 2005 Holiday metallics, Damask bags, etc.

i'm a bit paranoid of buying a balenciaga online lol (like the ups showing up at the wrong house or etc :s)

Wasn't the older collections around 05 and earlier nickel hardware?
