It's funny, But I can't help but looking for b bags when I'm out and about in NYC.
My husband and I just came in from dinner and we both noticed a girl eyeing up my turq city, I guess everyone does it.

Yeah it's really a cool club to be in, esp. in a fashion-conscous city like New York!! I feel like I am almost stalking the B bag girls (but then I see them stalking me too)!!!!

Me too! It's always fun to see someone carrying a Bbag on the street -- have you seen this? Balenciaga Sighting Yesterday- was this YOU?

not a lot of sightings in south florida, although i saw a women in a toy store in an area called weston with a red city with ggh and i almost ran over to show her my white day with sgh. let me just say i do not think she was a tpf'er b/c she looked at me like i was the strangest thing and i just got the 'do not approach' vibe. strange how this purse stuff gets to you.

I always feel extra special when carrying my Bal bag. Some people recognize my bag and some don't know what it is. Those that do and speak to me about my bag or among the individuals I speak to after noting their bag is fun and I always feel extra special carrying my bal bag.

I def do that. I have a habit of following them around until I can decide in my head which exact bbag it is (color, yr, etc). Not healthy!!! LOL!!!

unfortunately in my day to day in nyc, i see mostly fake bals. usually black RH city in a very plasticy, peeling state. a lot of them with very long handles. when you get to the more fashion conscious areas though - like 5th ave and madison - i often see a few bals...mostly GGH cities, if i recall correctly. once i saw a girl carrying a black ggh hobo for the first time IRL and seeing it in person really wows you much more the pictures do...probably the day afterwards i went to balny and picked up a ggh hobo of my own ...hehhehehe

I agree I see those handbag vendors on the streets everywhere selling B bags in assorted plastics! haha...But you know when you see the real deal.
I live on the upper west side of NYC, I would have to say most I see being carried are real.
I see about 4 a day! mostly cities with RH.
Wanted to compliment an ink city in Sephora yesterday, But after my run in with the anchor on Goood Morning America, i decided to hold my tounge!

I really envy the lucky ladies who see bbags being carried around regularly. I'm in the west of Ireland and haven't seen a single one! The closest I've come to compliments are droolly remarks by people who have never heard of Balenciaga. They just thought my bag was lovely.

I get excited when I see them too! I rarely see any around here. It's usually Coach, Coach, Coach.

Me too! I do find myself going to this one particular panera where I've seen a beautiful sahara city with ggh! I also see other beautiful bags there as well. My husband probably wonders why I always want to eat lunch there!
