Balenciaga... The All-Things Balenciaga Handbags Thread

[caroulemapoule]

do you rotate your bals very frequently??
i agree some split more than the other...my ink split like crazy..

Yes, I have other bags too, I use my PS1 and my Bal pom pom with GCH the must currently. But the ones I have with RH were all bought secondhand.

bagalicious - I'm glad we found the color!!! I was pondering between seafoam and vert d'eau since both colors are similar!! Will you be getting it??? It's so pretty. I love light green colors.

 

[ChrissyM]

wow, filenes!? i never would have guessed a bal bag would show up there...

what was the price like, if you don't mind my asking...

i agree it looks like vert d'eau (which is actually the color i have )

Not sure of the price. Bit it was over a $1000

Hey bagalicious! Did you decide if you're getting the vert d'eau folder?

 

[bagalicious]

Hey bagalicious! Did you decide if you're getting the vert d'eau folder?

No I haven't decided, But i think NO, as the style is not for me, and I've had enough of the GH, so i guess the answer is NO

Just got this 08 Ruby city :

I've been using this beauty lately. I got it last winter from the Balenciaga store in NYC. I'm not sure what the exact name of the color is? Is it ruby red?

My go to bag is still the black Balenciaga GH city bag. I've used it to death. I like it even more than my Chanel. and I love Chanel.

Thank you

 

[kimair]

gainsbourg congrats...ruby is a beauty!!

chanelandfur, your bag looks like vermillion from s/s 2008...
you can check the letter on the tag in the reference section of the purseforum to find out the exact color...

 

[chanelandfur]

^ Thanks a ton for that! I'm new here and I didn't know about the reference sections. That's really helpful!

I think Kimair is referring to the reference library at The Purse Forum:

 

[chanelandfur]

^^^ Oh okay. Now it makes sense - I was searching the FS for the libraries and couldn't find them.

I've actually been using my black Balenciaga GH work bag A LOT lately. It's always my go to bag for everyday use. I can put it on the floor when I go to class and not feel awful about it. Although I think I love my Chanel maxi better, I'm always more cautious with it. Balenciaga looks better when it's more worn in and distressed, IMO.

^ true! i actually i've one first in black and one city in light blue,that i've both bought in 2005 i mean the black one is just perfect, seems like totally new! and the light blue one..oh..the leather gets softer and more beutiful year after year
i have to say that from all the bags i have the money that i've put on the balenciaga are totally worth it!

 

[kolover]

Hello everyone! If you guys wouldn't mind could I get your advice on something? So I got a black city for my birthday a couple months ago and absolutely love it! I have been dying for a red one forever and I just found one... do you all prefer the balenciaga city or arena classic day bag? I already have a city so I can't decide if I should switch it up... Thank you!

 

[caroulemapoule]

I like cities the most, I've had a day, but I sold it again. Should you sell your city if you wanted the day? Or could you keep both? I wouldn't sell a city for a day. But if I could have both it would be okay!
