Balenciaga (Thread 3)

^yes it gets easily scuffed and there's no way to avoid it unless you just store your bag in the closet lols! that's just how bbags "age". scuffs and himulhol and missing hardwares.

kung pantay lang for you yung alexa and bbag, i say, get the alexa because it's more "durable".

thread din ng balenciaga bumibigay... sad

[foxymom]

I'd still get a bbag they become more beautiful when they age

[m_lim]

^me too! love ko yung "luma" look. haha

[clueless]

^^ i agree withe the worn look. The 2005 rt day i got from ebay has tassels na medyo sira na. I was cOntemplating on replacing them with tbe extra tassels but i figured the worn out look adds to the character of the bag.

[vhanya]

^i also love the worn look. i just dont love the scuffs and missing hardwares and himulhol/loose threads =(  im just an unlucky bbag owner siguro lols!

Any idea how much cheaper sa France? any suggestion for a B 1st timer? sorry ha im clueless kasi sa Balenciaga, appreciate if there's someone who can enlighten me. I think my officemate is carrying a Bbag nahihiya naman ako magtanong kung anong model siya its plum color wala naman akong napansin na hardware.

^ I'd go for a city. Yung hardware tingin ko mas bagay yung regular hardware sa light colored bags while giant hardware stands out against dark colored leather.

There's a price list in TPF: http://forum.purseblog.com/balenciaga-reference-library/dimensions-serial-numbers-prices-years-production-balenciaga-styles-144151.html.

Good luck on your bag quest.

anneG, I would suggest that you do a research on the diff models so you'd know which you like most and what would fit your lifestyle.  I have a city, pt, and days and all of them I love

@shobe0 - thanks for sharing the link.
@100%K - im eyeing for "First" that's what i saw in their website, for a starter i don't want to invest on high end model, "First" ba talaga tawag dun?

[chicgurl]

pinagiisipan ko if bibili ako nito.. wala pa akong makitang super like kong design.. what can you suggest girls??

[vhanya]

^usually its between a city or a part-time. part time is a lil bigger. giant hardware usually maganda but its heavy so others prefer the regular hardware.

Yes, there is a "First". It is small ha. But if you're comfy with small bags then gow!

I have a problem. My RH City in Cyclade napatakan ko ng spaghetti sauce. How do I get rid of that?

And medyo I feel sad cos my Cyclade is starting to yellow. It doesn't look nice anymore-- at least in my opinion. How do I restore its shine kaya?

Thanks!

^i use LMB cleanser for stains. 

[kimebies]

How about the "drying" of the leather, Sis?

[vhanya]

^use LMB din cause it keeps the bag moisturized. or buy the moisturizer in balenciaga gb5.

[kimebies]

^ What particular LMB product, if I may ask? Thanks!

[vhanya]

i bought it in accessory lab before. i forgot the name na. ask them na lang =)

[kimebies]

^ OK. Thanks Sis!
