Balenciaga... The All-Things Balenciaga Handbags Thread

^This is a City, it's smaller than the PT.

The retail for a City is $1,395, Part Time is $1,495. I wouldn't mind paying close to retail for a gently used bag in excellent condition, especially if it is a colour I really want and cannot get as new anymore.

michyed, i just heard that balenciaga is doing a vert d'eau for fall 2010, so you're in luck if you want a brand new one...

berlinrocks, you look great with the courier!!

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned here... but Balenciaga is doing a price increase as of May 1st. I think most of the RH bags are only going up about $50 but some of the GH ones are going up by $100+.

I've been wanting to get a classic black city with RH for aaaages now and think I might finally take the plunge as a gift to myself for finishing University this month. I'm going to be in NYC in two weeks and will browse around then.

Oh no! And I read this a few days after buying the Papeete City

Awww well, maybe if it looks super gorgeous, I'll sell my Papeete and buy the Vert D'eau. Thanks for letting me know

Does anybody have any recommendations on cleaning of Balenciaga handles? I have been asked to look into for my sister-in-law!
Thanks in advance!

Typically, they need to be professionally done. I have used lovinmybags.com in NYC. Once cleaned, she can treat them to help prevent same in future.

^ I'm not into all the new styles they've been doing lately like the Sunday etc. I like that they're trying to change it up but they don't say Balenciaga to me...

I'm thinking of buying a Black Town with RH before the price increase in May! The Town will be close to $1400 instead of $1300 I believe. Either way it's a gorgeous style.. anyone know where to get one? I'm waiting for Neiman Marcus to call me back but I do know Aloha Rag had some a few weeks ago and they're out.

[PinkPrincess113]

I would be more than happy to check the Balenciaga Boutique at the Forum Shops for you. I will be there in two weeks. Would you like me to have a look for the Town? I could check the Las Vegas Neiman's as well - I mean I'm gonna be going there anyways. If it's a bust I can at least get you the contact information at the Bal Boutique.
Also.... not really liking those new F/W 2010 Bags posted. The totes are so generic-looking and the handles look weird, like they're too small or not far enough apart or something and that one that looks like a toaster cover (but that's just me)
kimair: The Rose Gold Hardware looks really good against the Anthracite, doesn't it? I think she's a keeper.

 

[PinkPrincess113]

shelleybean- thanks so much! neiman marcus actually called me back and i can order over the phone and have it fedexed to me! are you going to get anything at the bal store!?

 

[bagalicious]

Kimair- That is one tasty looking bag you got there...Anthra + RG were a match made in heaven...Enjoy her.
