Has everyone seen the new 2009 LILAC bags? They're a limited edition and totally BEAUTIFUL! Hope I can see one in real life soon! Balenciaga really were sneaky with this one.

My new limited edition Lilac City Bag purchased from NM. Shown with and without flash:

The makeup bag and the coinpurse are lilac from 2006 - however I prefer this new limited lilac color better!

Hello! This is my first time posting on this thread and I must say you all have gorgeous bags My birthday is coming up and I have decided to get my first balenciaga for it! I need a little help deciding though... Do you prefer the classic black city or the giant city (black with gold hardware). At first I prefered the classic black city but I just heard the bags with the hardware are being discontinued soon? which is making me begin to rethink my decision.

I would go for RH Black City any day - I think the GH takes up too much room on the City, but that's probably just me being fussy

No, I'm with you.

No, I'm with you.

RH is the way to go.B)

i agree...
much prefer the regular hardware on the city...

i feel like the GH only really works on the work or bigger size...

beauxgoris gorgeous city...congrats! it looks almost pearlescent...
so is it only available in the city size?

kolover a black RH city is the quintessential bal bag...
goes with everything and can be dressed up or down...

 

[beauxgoris]

^^Thank you kimair. I believe it may be coming out in the first size as well. It's only going to be sold at NM and Barney's though - and for a short time since it's a limited edition.

beauxgoris - indeed your new lilac city is a beauty! I much prefer it over the 06 lilac.

Beauxgoris, love your LE Lilac! Looks like quite an easy color to wear - looking forward to seeing modelling pics sometime on TPF
