Im usually found on the chloe sub forum but i have always been tempted by a bal! the girls on the chloe subforum get tempted by bals from time to time and so i wanted to see what all the fuss was about!
so i went on the hunt for a twiggy!at first i wanted a purple or black one but this one popped up and i couldnt help but love it!

introducing my 08 marine twiggy....

im now on the hunt for a city maybe in amethyst or something like that!

the leather is very different from chloes and i wondered if there was anything you guys used to protect your bals?

congrats on your first Bal! I've actually been tempted by Chloe lately...

Marine is gorgeous. Yes, there are things we do to protect our bags. You should check out the Care and Maintnence section of the Bal reference library...there's TONS of info there!

Enjoy your beautiful bag!

OH NO! You are SOOOO doomed now!

And that one is gorgeous!

For your next one, try the older CHEVRE leather.. 07 & earlier. MUCH more like 05/06 Chloe leather... especially 05 BAL.

Congratulations!!!! I keep lurking over here away from the Chloe forum!! I haven't taken the plunge yet tho - I'm on a self-imposed ban...sort of!! I love your Bal - how is the leather different from Chloe (not that I've got that many!!) ...better or not? (Dare I say this here or shall I ask you over at the Chloe forum!!!) x

i wouldnt say its better or worse than chloe leather! i would just say its different, it soooo soft and delicate looking but its gorgeous at the same time!
the leathers thinner but just as nice IMO!
