i think i have mentioned this before, but im slowly migrating from the LV forum (sorry LV)..somehow i feel im following twiggers. hahah..just kidding.

i still love LV..but not as much as before..i think their prices are overwhelming and i do have all the bags that i want (not many).

i don't know too much about b-bags but i'd like suggestions on a first b-bag..

a First?
or a City?

any suggestions? i went to NM to try out the bbags and found that the First looks too small on me, and a City looks too big! (i'm 5'3", size 4-6)

also..what would be a good color to start with? FYI, i don't like black.

btw, i feel soooooooooo bad for thinking about a bbag...because i just funded a HUGE purchase - see my signature :P

thanks!! i've read some posts here...you guys are so enabling! :graucho:
 
welcome welcome to the bal subforum! You are so welcome here! You will fall head over heels after ur first purchase! You can go either way-- first or a city-- i love both, though find more uses for a city as it is such a good classic shape and size! The first is good if u only like to carry around the basic necessities or for a night out...sometimes I stick my first into a larger bag like my diaper bag if I can't leave home w/o a bbag!

I love both styles but love the extra leather on the city...so for ur very first, I say try a city out.

:welcome:

oh and forgot to mention-- I lOVE ur huge purchase! Congrats!
 
Hi and welcome!
I guess a twiggy, box or the purse style would be in between a first and a city. There are threads with photos posted so you can see which style you like. I know the purse style is not made anymore but you can still find them sometimes.
As for color... what is your wardrobe comprised of? Balenciaga has a color for every wardrobe and style! Depends if you like your bags muted or loud.
Don't feel bad about a new bbag purchase... just sell some LV's! :graucho:;):roflmfao:
Good luck and let us know what you decide!
 
What about a step or day? You can visit the reference sections for tons of pics... what colors do you like? Everybody's different. I have Days, Firsts, a City and a Step. If you want an in-between size between the First and City, I can recommend the Step... they are coming out in all the fall/winter colors, like violine, jaune, steel, tomato, ocean, mastic, sienna, vert foncé (I think)... I'd pick a color that goes with most clothes you wear.

^^^ jenova- lol, trust you to come up with something like that...

I agree with simona; the twiggy, box or purse will be ideal. (the box/purse are discontinued styles so you will only find these on ebay)
 
thanks! i LOVE my car too...it's so much fun to drive!

what is the price difference between a city and a first?

thanks! but i don't like the twiggy or the box...i'll check out what purse is..i've been looking at ebay and this forum all morning!

i generally wear black with jeans..and i love the different "blue shades" ...cornflower, aqua..etc..and the color that attracted me was the white one!

i've been staring at my LVs to see which ones i can live without... :yes::yes::graucho:

you know..i also want to BUY a garage for the car too! it's too scary as i live in an apartment complex..and my car is parked right next to the gate!

i already bought a new IKEA shelf for my bags...might as well get one for my car.. :roflmfao::rolleyes:

06 Cooper S in dark silver with Recaro leather seats, Harmon Kardon hi-fi, over priced alloys and silly body kit.

Afraid that I have just had to pay to have a new garage for it. Very unglamorous!

Someone kept stealing the aerial on Saturday nights. We thought that this might progress onto more radical vandalism.
 
Hey girl!!!!! Welcome to Bal HEEHEE!!!! Sell all those LVs girl!!!!

I myself LOVE the twiggy style....it is the most perfect size for me! Bigger than a first and smaller than a city. Kind of reminds me of a papillon (without the structure)!
