I may love my handbags.. but nothing beats my Balenciagas.
But anyway, I managed to locate a brand new Balenciaga city in ‘blue india’, a colour I’ve been coveting for awhile. It’s a muted soft turquoise, in chevre (goat) leather that’s oh-so-luscious!! It smells delicious, and is ultra smooshy and slouchy – exactly the reason why I love Balenciaga bags so much.
I love the size of the City bag, and the regular pewter hardware (the giant hardware versions all look so fake-bag to me!). The soft tassels give me infinite pleasure because fiddly-fingers me can fiddle with them alllll day long 😉
Fortunately, this acquisition now means that I don’t need or want to buy any more Balenciaga bags. OK, with maybe the new Balenciaga mini-city as the exception, because how cute is it?!?!
Anyway, one of my best gfs in NYC has a brand new Balenciaga city in ‘black’ lambskin for sale. It’s in brand new/mint condition, comes with original dustbag and cards, measures 15″x9.5″x5.5, and has regular hardware. It retails US$1,500 plus tax, and she’s willing to sell it to a lucky buyer for US$1,200 inclusive of FREE international insured shipping. Keen? Let me know and I’ll put you in touch 🙂
Hello Beverly! I am doing some research as I am looking to get my first B-bag. Seems like you’re an experienced shopper in this category and am wondering if I can seek your advice? Would it be cheaper to get one in Singapore or Hong Kong? What is your opinion of the Rose Bruyere/Parme colours? Thanks so much!
I think it would be cheaper in HK as they tend to have cheaper luxury goods.. but only if you buy it there as you’d have to pay shipping+customs if you get it shipped out of HK.
I haven’t seen those colours in real life, I’m afraid!
Thank you Beverly! 🙂
Hi Beverly. I stumbled upon your blog by chance. I am very interested in the black balenciaga city. Does your friend still have it? Thanks.
Hi there, I’m sorry but it’s been sold!
Such a gorgeous colour!
I adore it, v pleased i managed to get my hands on one hehe!
Carter is adorable! 🙂
Aww thanks Iris!
The mini city was sighted in HKG! We might hv it too?
Ahhhhh I hope so, cos I want to see it in real life! But it’s likely to be overpriced here, sighhh
