Laureen the clutch looks fab!! The pre-fall 09 colours are ah-mazing! Especially pommier and raisin!! In a week i'm going to buy my second balenciaga!!! I'm SO excited!!! I hope they have praline!!

I've got two balenciaga bags and was wondering if this one is worth buying or will it be out of fashion soon? TIA!

Thanks FashionJunkie! Congrats on your second, can't wait for pics!

I like the praline, though I personally go for brighter colors. I really want something in Bouton d'Or.

vicky, I think it's cute, but a bit trendy. If you love it, buy it!

^^ Can't wait to see them!

Laureen--i saw your clutch at Barney's-it caught my attention! i love it but i was worried about finger prints. is it a problem?

 

[laureenthemean]

The shiny leather does show fingerprints, but for me, it's better than the regular leather clutches getting dirty over time. At least I can wipe away the fingerprints.

I recently bought a black Balenciaga city from the Balenciaga store in London, and I was wondering, what products (if any) should I put on my bbag to keep the leather nice etc?

Swiftly: I recommend Lovinmybags, I wouldn't use anything else on my Balenciaga bags. Congrats on the new baby

I'm not really sure, I bought it on Ebay and have been wondering what it was...

Thanks you guys! I'm really happy with it. It is almost mesmerizing in the sunlight, but I can't really capture it with the camera
