That rich purple makes everything look good. I'm not usually a fan of the matelasse, but that looks rather scrumptious.

thanks Kimair I'm loving the vermillion and the bouton d'or.

I am curious, I have a 2004 pistachio twiggy. its not in that great of shape i've carried it a lot but what do you think it would sell for on ebay since the color is rare?

Do a search on ebay for past sales of Twiggys and see what colors and conditions have sold for. That's the easiest way to get a ball-park figure. Good luck

You could also try realdealcollection.com, or annsfabulousfinds.com, they both do consignments, or trades or etc.

kellyt...you could also send to the place that does cleanings on balenciaga bags (i forget what it's called), then sell it...
pistachio is a pretty popular (and rare) color, so i imagine it would sell for a decent price...

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've been around but I'm really looking to get a new Balenciaga (I currently have a black city bag from a few seasons back). I was looking around and I really don't like the new GH. Does anyone know if they're still producing the bags without the big knobby things (haha sorry, I don't know how else to describe them), or am I pretty much out of luck if I want to purchase a "regular" bag from somewhere reputable (I'm not really into buying on ebay or anything like that).

Also, I think I want a bag slightly bigger than the city style. Does anyone know which style that would be? If anyones has pictures of the size differences, that would be even better!

Thanks so much in advance!!

The regular hardware is still being produced. The work is the bag that comes to mind first as the next size up from the city, but there are several other styles now as well - the step, the part time, the brief.

hi britney...
yes, balenciaga is still producing the regular hardware bags...
you can now get the hardware in giant gold, giant silver and regular hw...

the part-time is slightly longer than the city, but not as tall...
i believe it's 16x9, and the city is 15x10...
there's also the work, which is 18x12...

here is a pic of all three side by side...
the city, part time and work...

water daisy at the purse forum posted a pic of the s/s 08 yellow...
it reminds me of a highlighter...i love it!!
might have to get a clutch or something in this...

pictured is the new floral/leather sac, the giant traveler with giant gold hardware and a part time with giant silver hardware...

 

[Guessgirl96]
