Hi Bella Swan,

Did you have to special order the strap? yours is so longg, you have wear it messenger style. Was that a special request?

Sorry! Was out of town this weekend, so didn't see your question till now.

Someone basically already answered it, but I wanted to mention, it's only $5 for the longer strap, it's $15 if you want both the normal strap and the longer strap.

if it is too expensive now for a TD bag, then dont order a bbag anywhere at all because i think even 130 for a non TD bbag is a waste

agreed! you will fall in love when you receive your first one, but most likely your first will not be the last

you can also wait around for sale bags that they have one in a while too.

I love that Mahina color.

baby_yorkie that Noe is gorgeous! You bought it a year ago - is that a current picture? Has the trim oxidized yet?

 

[baby_yorkie]

i sold it but yeah, it patina'ed nicely

 

[babybluestar]

I totally disagree. T&D's'bags arent too expensive because the quality you're getting is fantastic. Paying $1300 for an auth Balenciaga is too expensive. But paying $250 for a bag with Italian leather that's distressed to perfection and almost indistinguishable from auth, thats worth every penny.

Obviously you dont have to buy from T&D, but I've never seen any bbags that come close to theirs.

baby_yorkie, did you buy any other Multicolore bags from that same seller? I'm on a quest for the perfect Multicolore Trouville...

 

[baby_yorkie]

there is pic of my marilyn from ligugu (ioffer). it was identical (excluding the lining). back then, none of the seller has the correct lining +correct color/details. either wrong lining+ correct details or the other way. the wrong lining was red (same as authentic) but dif. material.so as the noe, and that bothered me so i sold them. other than that, everything was perfect.
im thinking of getting the noe, the marilyn and the speedy again as now FABaaa seems to have the correct lining.
noe and agenda from fabaaa, wallet from Jacky. the green on J's MC was too bright

 

[babybluestar]

jihanemo: fabaaa's Trouville is perfect! Ive never ever found a 100% spot on Speedy, but the Trouville is PERFECT!

 

[babybluestar]

baby_yorkie: If you want any pics of my Speedy from fabaaa, let me know! The lining is great. I compared it with the auth right after I got it! My MC PTI wallet from her is identical to auth. I doubt even a tpf'er would be able to tell the difference. I'm SO happy with it! I'll post pics!

 

[LAMALONE]

Baby yorkie- i love your items. So you have ordered from Ligugu? Because i was thinking about trying them.

 

[baby_yorkie]

i've bought from ligugu for 4 years and his quality is GREAT, he better collection than Jacky.
thanks Lamalone
BBS: please post pics of ur MC speedy. i would love to see... and the trouville too

 

[baby_yorkie]

i just received 2 inclusion bracelets from Jacky, they are GORGEOUS and very high quality. lots of gold flowers/logos inside, lots of crystal and pearls...but they are huge and heavy (as they should be). i recommend it to anyone--35/each----why not

 

[LAMALONE]

Thanks baby yorkie. Im going to try him now love the braclets.

 

[babybluestar]

baby_yorkie: I dont have the Trouville, a member here does and was saying how fantastic it is.

If you PM me your email addy, i'll send pics of my Speedy.

taking bag pictures with this thing is so hard. i think my wrist is going to fall off. i forgot my regular camera so i had to use my laptop anywho, i will be posting pictures of the mandarin part-time for those who were interested later tonight once i figure out how to save them. i'm sort of confused about the transition from photobooth to iphoto to just having them saved on my computer? help, i'm slow, i just bought this computer 'cause all the cool kids had one, haha.

 

[madonnacomplex]

okay, i think i figured it out!

i apologize for the quality - essentially, they're sort of useless i suppose! the bag is a very rich, vibrant color. the leather is on the thicker, smoother side, within your expected quality level from T&D. i have no sunlight anymore at this hour, so i photographed the bag in my bathroom as it has several lights and mirrors. edited to add: the bag until now has still been in the packaging it was shipped in, and it has nothing in it, so it looks...weird. shower curtain courtesy of anthropologie LOL

this will teach me to leave my camera in new york, LOL. i got stuck with a webcam, AND i find out we're getting a horrible snowstorm here in boston. it's my punishment i suppose!

 

[baby_yorkie]

arrived along w my inclusions is my friend's balenciaga clutch from Jacky. im amazed by the quality. the leather is thick, but very smooth, and dry. however, the lotion will help distressing the leather. for 78.00/each, im happy and will buy this clutch from JACKY (compare to 170/NBF's clutch) -> again, this is my own "observation" ;-)
dont get me wrong, NBF's quality is better, ofcourse

another + for jacky: he has the right dustbag (logo+material)

I know what you mean. I wouldn't pay that much for a clutch either....I just wouldn't get much use out of it. Jacky's is gorgeous!!! I LOVE the violet!

madonnacomplex: Thanks for sharing the pics!! Your PT is beautiful!! Isn't the size great?? I'm shocked at how much it holds but yet it still looks tres chic!!
