i have the alexander wang diego from jacky! its spot on i should say. but the bag being bucket shaped, if you put alot of items inside the bag will sort of sink in the bottom. im very afraid of using the bag, cause the leather is so soft :xx but overall i love the edginess of the bag!

I've just received my Black RH City and Anthra GSH Triple Tour bracelets from T&D. I wasn't actually intending to get any from T&D, as I already own a '09 Black RH City from the boys. But after seeing bbs' photo of her gorgeous Black RH City, it got me thinking about getting my dream Black RH City. Bbs was also very kind to send me a PM to inform me of T&D's stocklist, so I placed the order with T&D last week.

I have finally found my perfect Black RH City. The leather is smooth and lightly distressed. It was a bit shiny at first, but after just one application of Apple Leather Care conditioner, it's perfect. I am super pleased with my bag. The stitching on the handles has also improved considerably. The only flaw is, the front zipper is quite stiff and hard to zip up. But this is not a problem for me since I don't use the front pocket of my RH City bags anyway.

As for the Anthra TT bracelet I have, the colour of the leather is a perfect match with my auth Anthra. It is NOT grey, but has strong blue undertones. It is my ideal shade of Anthra. I'm so happy with the TT bracelet, I will be getting more in different colors and HW.

When I placed my order with T&D, I was told there's 1 last Black RH City left in stock. Do get the Black RH City if you're still undecided. I can't wait to use mine tomorrow!

flowerchild1 I bought a Diego from Catty around August, and one of the little straps that the shoulder strap feeds through broke in half after using it for about half an hour (just taking it to the shops, no acrobatics). It wasn't too full either - just a phone, purse, keys etc. I sent it back to her and decided to not get a replacement Diego as I'm not too confident about the strength of those little straps. When I took a close look at the little strap that broke, it was super thin leather, and some kind of synthetic backing. It seemed quite flimsy. As far as Jacky goes, he told me a few months ago he wasn't making any more Diegos. I'm not sure if he's changed his mind since then, but that's why I went with Catty. Other than the quality control issues, the bag is gorgeous looking. The pebbling looked pretty consistent over the whole bag.

Just emailed them! I hope they still have that one city left!!

Hey guys! Been a while.

So recently I bought my sister a no logo BAL rep from a Korean supplier, but it was calfskin, not lambskin. It turned out alright. But did not seem perfect. I dont know what do you guys think? For some reason I got this impression that Korea would produce super BAL bags. I know there is another Korean supplier that makes them in Lambskin and looks really good. But is the leather Italian or Korean and would that make a difference?

I never tried T&D but I know he seems really really good, from the praise he gets on here. Should I just go ahead and buy from T&D. Only reason I ask is because multiple suppliers, "Molly" "Dick" "Catty" are starting to market the (imported) Italian lambskin leather BALS. Has anyone compared these (imported) types from the other suppliers to the NBF types. Does T&D dominate in uber quality of BALS or do the other suppliers stand a chance. It seems like the "other" suppliers use the same photos of the "imported" types. I dont know, that makes me feel like they all get it from a certain source unknown to us. Stopping us from getting the bottom low price. Did you guys notice this? Same photos of bags from the "known suppliers". Maybe I'm just over thinking this and they all get it from a MEGA factory that does not deal online? hmmm..

DamierGuy:I lived in Korea for 3 years and went all over trying to find decent bal reps..no luck at all..and I did dig and walk a loot ..
NBF is the best bals out there..no questions about that..worth every single dollar

I did a dig too. HAHA.. From sourcing sites to google translate and buying phone cards. LMAO..

I guess its such a big misconception about quality in China. Fact: Places in China that create super quality items on the same level of the big fashion houses or if not better, do exist...

Here's a message to reuters: Its not all about finding the alternative extreme mark down or tacky rep. Its sometimes about finding the best quality out there..

 

[fanbao26]

Ahhhh I've been emailing Jacky for 4 times now and still no response! Really want to get an awang Rocco! Someone mind pm-ing me? Plspls? Thanks!!!

I have family in korea and I go every couple years. I can never find any decent reps... my mom went recently and brought back a horrible lv rep. just awful. there HAS to be a place, ugh! I'm probably going to china next year though so it'll be ON!

 

[DamierGuy]

Sorry for the really dumb question, but how do I officially order from NBF. I see that he has a ioffer store. But is that limited to only certain bags? Do you guys usually just order through his email?

Also does NBF still make other reps than BAL. I've seen someone on ioffer sell a nice purple nappa spy bag from NBF.

you can first order with NBF though ioffer and just deal with them through emails after that. they only make limited colors each time with limited quality. they USED to make other brand (fendi spy, nightingale, paddington) but now they stick only to BALs

Thank you for the info! I REALLY want it but id be soo upset if it broke like that. I always end up doing this and then just reverting back to T & D and getting another bal.

 

[shousesame]

Did anyone see the red sc bag on jackys bag?? Omg I love it! It seems almost like THE red I was looking for. A true fire engine red!!

 

[DiorKiss]

YEAH the Jasper? I heard it's not a perfect rep though but oh god is that bag gorgeous

 

[indian_rose]

I've tried doing a search on the different silhouettes and colours for Bal's, and i haven't come across any pics yet....but can anyone confirm that the Olive (2010 i think?) that T&D are doing, does come in a GSH Day?

TIA

 

[baby_yorkie]

GSH is part of the permanent line, and yes, it was available in GSH in day style

 

[crystal7]
