Who else is happy to hear that Grape is lighter than Eggplant???

My thoughts on violet at the trunk show: It's not as light as it appears in the pictures on this board. But it is definitely brighter and lighter in tone than eggplant. I would call it a vibrant medium-hue purple. Very royal and majestic-looking.

Oh, and I liked it so much that I'm getting it in a twiggy!
 
Deana, as always, excellent photos to demonstrate!!! Off the topic, what camera do you use for your beautiful pictures??? Mine does not give that kind of crisp detailed pictures...
:P
Thank you very much! I actually have a fairly inexpensive digital camera by Canon. It is the PowerShot SD 200. I can't remember the exact cost but I bought each of my two daughter's one at the same time, so it couldn't have been much. I think around $200.

Damn...I'll cook...and I'm good! But only if I can spoon with your bags Deana!! :P )and bring my kids and dog...oh yeah...and my DH!!)
:yes:
Absolutely, bring everyone and us gals can gorge ourselves on Balenciaga fare! My DH is actually a great cook too! I am sure we would have to have our own common room just for Bal gals, so we don't drive our husbands and children INSANE with bag talk!

Ha ha ha Deana :lol: you will not believe but I already dreamed to live in a bbag-commune with other Bal gals :yes: - this would be fantastic and we would have so much of fun together . . . but, bad news, I'm living in Switzerland/Europe - this is probably too far away, isn't it :shrugs: = too bad :crybaby:
:crybaby:
Yes, it's too far! I am in Southern California. But we will keep the dream alive, while meeting here on the pf!
 
I just can't wait to see it in real life... I really do love the leather on the older bags the best - so I hope I wont get 'dissapointed' when I come to grab my RH city in August...
 
I'm happy to hear that abt the new violet color will be lighter than eggplant as i have ordered it that as a mini coin purse as i know it will looks fabulous. As for bbag style, i'm not sure which one will looks nice since i will be having an eggplant first....thanks for the above and it's does give us an option whether we want it to be darker purple or lighter purple.....:smile:
 
:graucho:
Where do you live girl? We seem to have very similar tastes. Could you imagine our bags if we lived near eachother? If I wasn't already married...Mmmm? Well poop I'm straight (as you probably are), so how about a commune that we could live at with other Bal gals!!! Wow, could you imagine!!!
:drool:
I promise to organize everyones closets, and to be the bag photograhper, if someone else could cook!

OMG, a Balenciaga commune...we'd all be rolling around nekkid in all that smooshy leather!
 
:heart:Deana, ITA, love the bright colors....I must admit though, in addition to Grape, I think I still really want something in eggplant -- why??? Because I think Balenciaga puts crack in the leather, lol!!!!:nuts: I am excited to see/get something in grape!
 
In some pictures I hate it, in the pictures where it's darker, it's not bad but I still think eggplant is the supreme purple. Not too shocking, and the saturation is gorgeous.

In some pictures it looks like eggplant, in others not at all. I'm hoping it's sort of close so I can accessories for my eggplant, if they make the accessories in Violet.
 
Me! Bright and shiny (the way Nanaz described it) sounds great to me! I love bright purple. I have never been an eggplant fan (I know--sacrilege!), but I think I'll love the new violet.

THIS IS ONE OF THE PRETTIEST PHOTOS I HAVE SEEN WITH A PF-ER HOLDING HER BAG!!! THANKS AGAIN FOR ADDING THE PHOTO HERE PP!!!

Wow a commune for Bal lovers! Just think of the Balenciaga collections all the members here have, and then imagine them all in one place! OMG! I think I would pass out!
