Default Balenciaga Horse Hair

Im thinking of bidding on a balenciaga city bag with horse hair. How durable is it with the hair and is it easy to clean? Am i better off buying a leather city bag?

Horse hair, cow, deer, etc. usually is very easy to take care of actually. Dirt doesn't stick to it and you can just wipe off dirt etc. of it. I have a pair of snow boots that are all deer hair and they go in the dirty streets, dirty snow etc. I have had them for almost 20 years and they are still white!! If they get dirt on them, mud etc., I just walk and wipe in the clean snow and they are clean. I was told when I bought them that I could do this, I didn't believe I would still have them 20 years later and that they would hold up and still look new. Animal hair is naturally self cleaning!
