Balenciaga... The All-Things Balenciaga Handbags Thread

[teakrist]

google for HGBags. they got GREAT deals on Balenciaga bags. the girls over at TPF are CRAZY about that site, continually order from it and it's all authentic.

the price for a Day in a current season color is $895! that's a saving of $200!

Thanks for the tip! This site is genious!

What size bag do some of you taller girls wear?

I was in Holts today to take a look at the city (thinking that was "the" bag for me) and it looks tiny! The PT looked too long as well. I didn't see any Works. The Brief and Folder styles are really nice but it seems that has been discontinued?

I'm 5ft10 so I need a bag that has a bit of substance to it. Suggestions? I'm guessing a Work would be the best, but I do wish it had a strap as well.

I am 5 10 also and wear the city - im wearing it on my latest blog post for comparison.

how about a Velo?

it's basically the City, with a taller body (more of a N/S bag than E/W), really long strap.

if you can go without a long strap, try the Work and Weekender. i love the Weekender on me

i was wondering if anyone can help me... are there any obvious things to look for when purchasing Balenciaga?? cause there are so many on e-bay, and i want to know how you can tell the difference between a real bag and a fake one. should i be looking at serial numbers and stiching or other things?? also with the serial number, is there one number that is used for a lot of fake bags, like there is with Chanel??
if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!!

mostly the leather how it looks, the shape and color of the hardware sometimes the strap hardware is round when it should be square

Guys, you' re all such experts when it comes to Balenciaga bags, can you tell me what model and what colour this is?

That'd be awesome...

^ That's F/W '09 Noix (Nut) Covered Giant Club. It's kinda like a more structured and compact Day bag. It's gorgeous in that color and hardware combination!

got an email today about a LE lime RH city only available at bal ny...
very pretty color, reminds me to apple green

 

[Gainsbourg]

^That's a really pretty shade!

 

[kimair]

i guess the LE lime is available in RH at the nyc and l.a. stores and in GGH at the las vegas (forum at caesars) store...

I bought the bag I posted here previously. I'm not such an expert on Balenciaga bags, it's my first, but I truly love it, it's beautiful and it smells so good and I'll treat it well.

i think i'd like covered hardware if there wouldn't be those 'crocheted' parts.... lol

My Noix BBag purchased late 2009

street_a_licious...they make smaller covered hardware without the edging...
so the hardware blends into the bag...

irulan, such a great basic bbag...what color is that?

j0anna...is that the street? i really love that style...

 

[irulan]

It's Noix. Goes with everything.

Hi guys, I am a complete Balenciaga newbie... So I don't know too much about the price range/bag names. This bag REALLY caught my eyes though.

people

Does anyone know what it's called and how much it generally costs?

 

[caroulemapoule]

It's a city I don't know the price in US. It's overpriced here in Denmark compared to USA.
