I just got my first Balenciaga bag and I LOVE IT!!!

I got it brand new at a consignment store (100% authentic tho) - and I am unsure of the model and color - since I am not completely knowledgable of the whole collection. Its hard to tell - but its like grey/blue/green and changes in different lighting

Can any one help me out? THanks!!

sorry about the bad pics - from my webcam

 

[nat_attak]

^nice!!

 

[caroulemapoule]

Mkd: Does it have a metal plate inside? And what does it say?

 

[Jungla_Juana]

that looks like the flat hobo, but I'm not 100% sure!

congrats on your find BTW

 

[kimair]

mdk...i believe that's a s/s 07 anthracite new flat messenger...i have an anthracite twiggy, and the color is kinda of a gray with green undertones, very pretty that changes in different light...
i don't think they make that particular style anymore, so it's an even better find...congrats!!

 

[mkd1187]

^ thank you all for your help!

I figured they didn't make it anymore - since the only messengers I have seen have been much bigger. But I thought this size was perfect for me since I usually dont carry around a TON of things.

I was lucky to find it for the price too - and I don't really care if it isn't technically new - its in perfect condition.

hey i was wondering if anyone knows if bal paris still carries the s08 stuff?
i want the sahara GH city!

 

[kimair]

some of the bal stores have older stock in the back...
i scored an 06 bag from bal paris...it's worth giving them a call...

Does anyone know of any 2004 Marron City bags for sale?

I can't find one ANYWHERE!

 

[kimair]

marron is a very hard color to find...
i would suggest checking with some of the online consignment shops, like realdealcollection, ann's fabulous finds and bag passion...
bag passion and real deal allow you to set up a wishlist, and they will email you when a color becomes available...

hi!!! i'm hopeing someone can help me. i saw the rubisse colour and my eyes nearly popped out of my head! does anyone know the prices? and how much do you think is a good price for this colour as a second hand? thanks!

 

[kimair]

it depends on what size you want...
and since it's a new color, you probably won't save much buying it second hand as you would buying it new...
i'd check out the balenciaga website and pick a size then you can find out the price...

I'm new to tfs but wanted to share my modest bal collection (ok, so it's more of a duo than a collection, lol).

I had sold my 06 gris fonce city (on the right) this summer on tpf and regretted it so much that I managed to buy it back!

 

[caroulemapoule]

Great collection! And welcome
