< The Roseau Thread >

I've seen instagram posts the past few days from two French retailers suggesting there's a new metallic Roseau coming out... "Roseau Metal".... gold, rose gold. One of the hashtags is #ah18 meaning these may be for the fall 2018 line.

Photo quality is not great so it's hard to judge what they look like. I know that 80s/90s nostalgia is big right now, but personally I'm not sure I'm ready for a return to metallic bags.

Oic! Metallic bags attract a lot of attention - which can be good or bad

Metallic bags have been in for at least the last 2 yrs but since they are especially prone to color loss, it's really impratical to get it in a bag that is used quite often like a tote.
 
That's an amazing deal! I'm not sure whether it's actually a Roseau, because it looks like it doesn't have the bamboo toggle closure? In any event, it's a wonderful classic Longchamp find. [emoji2]
Yes, Seton on the Authenticate this Longchamp here on tpf told me it was a Roseau when i inquired, this was a few months ago if you wish to search.

Yes, i thought it was a amazing deal, too.

Excellent thread, @Cosmopolitan ! The Roseau certainly has a long history and it's interesting how it's evolved over all these years :biggrin:

Here are my Roseaus, A Medium Roseau Heritage in Ebony (season unknown) and a Large Roseau Longchamp 1948 KL Edition (AW 2017)

Thanks!
