Balenciaga (Thread 3)

[mama squeak!]

^The whole store yung 20-70% off but the Balenciagas were 30-40% off only but pwede na di ba? 

[vhanya]

YIZZZZZ!! pwedeng pwede na =) i have the twist member discount card pero 20% lang discount ko dun so 30-40% is a steal. sana meron pa goos stuff next week. will be celebrating the holidays in hk-macau =)

whhat? when would alexander wang take over? pano na yung line of bags niya?

also, where is the new twist store? will be there for new year's and i kinda want a new bag (still deciding over tod's miu miu or bal) pero how much na range? kasi baka mas mura pa din sa UK with the tax refund?

[vhanya]

^eto article sis:

http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2012/11/30/alexander-wang-balenciaga-creative-director-confirmed

as for the line of bags, still the same. hiwalay yung alexander wang line and balenciaga line. like what karl lagerfeld is doing for chanel and fendi.

the new twist store is in nathan road. check it here: www.twist.hk. mas mura sa UK with tax refund of course =)

[little_princess]

ah thanks for the info sis, i guess no bag shopping at hk this time parang nakakahinayang yung savings if i get it sa UK.

[vhanya]

sabi ni fiance, he just got home from his HK business trip, super haba na daw ng pila sa harbour city mall for the signature brands. buti we bought my bag na in SG kasi complete stocks dun.

might drop by twist the end of the month if there are too-good-to-pass discounts for tods and balenciaga =)

[little_princess]

^ i'll try din to check it out. nasa 50+k lang yung D bag sa Harrods and no tax refund pa yun. if prices are not that far, baka i can get mine sa HK. yay! but i want a balenciaga clutch too, parang ang nice!

[mama squeak!]

^^yung pila pansin ko starts bandang hapon hanggang closing time. When we passed by before noon wala pang pila.

[vhanya]

^thanks mama squeak, so obviously maaga ako pupunta para walang pila hehe.

hi girls! regarding bal bags any feedbacks on the leather after a couple of years or even just a year of used? eg ( dry, cracked leather, faded color etc) . Was hesitant to buy bec of the news ive heard, this is the reason i still doesn't own a bal bag, would appleguard conditioner helped? haven't tried using on my current bags as most of them are smooth lambskin/patent leather but already bought the cleaner and conditioner at home.

[iluvmy3rascals]

I have the same question too, my "bagahera" always asking me if I want a Balenciaga but I'm hesitant because of the same issue

[mom_G]

^^I only have 1 balenciaga, color is anthracite, and I've had it for over 2 years.  Wala naman akong nakikitang cracked leather and the color looks the same.  I didn't put any leather conditioner on it but I don't use it every day.

[m_lim]

saken rin, never nag crack ang leather or nag fade.

[LC]

i guess depends din if you got lucky magandang qualitY napunta syo hehe, medyo burara kasi ako with bags though i try to be careful when using but as time passed i kinda take my bags for granted, baby lang sila when i first buy them. maybe next time will consider Bal din if i saw a color i really like

[bernology]

what is the price range of Balenciaga bags here in PH?

[vhanya]

about the discoloration, maybe di naman maiiwasan to. my black part-time is now a lil greyish black. i really don't mind kasi i like this shade better that the regular black haha! however, for those other colors, you can send it to vintage restore or buy LMB products to reinstate the original color =)

[cheskacutie]

^ i agree with sis vhanya, it depends on how you take care and use your bags and of course there are cleaners that you can buy or if you are not a fan of cleaning bags bring it to the nearest bag spa 

[little_princess]

Are the balenciaga clutches nice? I was supposed to get one but i sort of had second thoughts since it was priced £655, parang 1 bag na din.

[LC]

pag clutch lang get the bv knotclutch hehe, imo mas worthy investment :0 planning to get one sa shanghai, or get the ysl clutch mas pwd i dress up or down bal imo masyadong casual

[little_princess]

Isnt the knot clutch parang mas mahal pa? I can't rember the price na kasi. I like the bal clutch kasi it's big and not still but yeah, very casual. Ysl us affordable naman! My mom was supposed to get one but she saw the jimmy choo one and forgot the ysl hehe
