black or cornflower (bluet) city ??

[hatikuh]

i wonder if the cornflower leather gets veiny. Any comments? Cuz i got a lilac 06 that's veiny and a blac that's not. seriously considering cornflower blue

Veiny-ness varies greatly between bags. I got an ink city that's mostly matte and only slightly distressed, not veiny, though I did see a few in stores that are very veiny & shiny -- so it really depends. If you're ordering over the phone, you should stress that leather texture is very important to you, and ask the SA to explain it to you.

I posted mine in the Documenting Balenciaga Leather thread:
http://forum.purseblog.com/balenciaga/documenting-balenciaga-leather-variations-14131-3.html

That thread is also very helpful if you'd like to see several variations in leather, even for bags in the same season.

With that said, I just got a rouge city that is very distressed, but I still love it anyways. It's more of a personal preference, I guess. Either way, the leather is still gorgeous, and the bag fabulous
:shame:
