So this new style has started to trickle into stores. The first store that is spotted to have this interesting style is Alduca Doasta which is a boutique in Italy. They are selling it for 279 Euros ~$357 USD, but is already sold out after being on the site for a day!
This one looks like the version without the shoulder strap, and is measuring at 19 x 19 x 4 cm (7.5" x 7.5" x 1.5"). It looks really beautiful with rose gold hardware. I think this style would probably suit me better than the coin purse I am using right now. My CP is filled to the point where it looks like its about to explode.
The cross-body one is called the "Move On" where it comes with a messenger strap.
Instead of traditional black cotton lining inside, it looks like they've used some type of waterproof lining instead. This is a very smart idea especially if this used as a make up case. Good to know Bal has their thinking caps on!
This is a must have for me, but when? I'm not so sure yet.. I still have my heart set on the Spring 2011 colors.
I haven't yet purchased from this boutique, so I'm not going to put this on my reputable store list yet. I would like to see if purchases would incur any other customs/duties fees on top of the ones they already charge. It appears to be legitimate though.





hi
ReplyDeletei think this is the "move" not the "move on", the "move on" has shoulder strap but the "move" has not
Hey thanks! I will correct it. It's too bad the site has it wrong as well. lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about this style... the drawstring top doesn't seem like Bal to me!
ReplyDeleteWhat color are you thinking of getting for Spring 2011?
Hey Cee! I kind of want one because it looks like it'll fit more than the CP!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to Ardoise, Nuage, and Grenadine. I probably won't be getting any big bags in those colors, maybe something small like a pouch or bracelet.
