I have been doing a lot of reading and looking here, such a wonderful site, thanks ladies and gents! I really love seeing all of your pics with your bags.

About the leather, is the veiny look considered less desirable than non veiny, or is it personal taste? I saw a pic of a city blueberry here that was veiny and I loved the look!

Would a City be a good choice for a first BBag?

Would you all suggest a new bag or an older one from consignment or ebay? If older, what year or does it matter?

Thanks everyone!

I think veiny or non-veiny is a matter of personal taste. Some colors actually look better veiny, but, that is just my opinion. I think a city is the perfect 1st Bbag. Good luck finding one you love!! :heart:

I think the City is a great first Bbag. As for veiny, that's a personal choice. Some people like it, some people don't. I think your best bet for shopping, is try to see the bags in person. If that's not an option, call a department store that sells Bbags (they have a better return policy) and order one from them. As for ebay......I buy from ebay but only from select sellers that have a good reputation. I've noticed the past couple days, there have been an outrageous number of fakes on ebay and a lot of them are stealing photos of authentic bags from other sellers auctions. Good luck and have fun shopping for your first purchase!

Welcome! I agree with Cracker, buy a new bag from a dept store w/a good return policy for your first bbag. City is a great choice, you will love it! Have fun and post pics when you get your bag!

Another vote to buy your first bag at a Dept Store. I am relatively new to Balenciaga's and the best advice I was give was to go see them in person.

I think the City is a perfect first bag. If you can find a store with several in the color you want, they you can choose the best leather. And the 07 leather is really yummy!!

Enjoy the process!
