I love burgundy bags too but not red on me.Thank you!
Yes, this Cassis is very close in color to my Valentino VLock, but they fill entirely different "niches" in my collection. I seem to gravitate toward burgundy & red bags!
2020 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

Thank you. Don't wait too long for the twilly - they don't stay on the website long, and IDK about availability in stores.
Going to the doc today for follow up. Thanks for the support!
I think this is a keeper! And do you think you will release the yellow one and recoup some cash?Those of you who "know" me on this thread also know this Balenciaga City bag, which was a present from DH in 2015.

There are many things I love about this bag, the first being that it was a present.Also it's lightweight, it holds a lot, when necessary, and the slouchy leather suits me. Finally, I can carry it crossbody (with this Mautto strap) or on my shoulder (with the original leather strap).
My problem has always been the color. It just doesn't go with the outfits I tend to wear, except in the warmest of days. And we don't get many of those here on the coast.
However, as my Upper Back & Neck Stuff has become worse, I find myself reaching for it more and more often. Finally, a couple of weeks ago, I had an epiphany. Since Balenciaga bags are no longs the Hot Ticket item they once were, I could probably find a pre-loved one at a good price from a reputable consignment site.
And I did!
Here is my still-thinking-about-it-but-pretty-sure Balenciaga City in Cassis, with silver hardware. From 2012, I think. The color is difficult to capture, so I'm including two photos. The leather is NOT as shiny as the second photo shows; it's more matte, like the first photo. But I think the color is more true in the second photo.
I have 30 days to decide, so I haven't clipped the tags yet. I try it on every day and study myself in the mirror the way I used to when I was fifteen.But I'm really very close.
Oh, and DH loves it. Since he has a very good eye for handbags (and jewelry, and scarves) I give weight to his opinion.

GORGEOUS!!!Today’s red bag - we’re at the dentist currently.
She at least looks much better than I do.

Thank-you so much papertiger! This means a lot to me.
Hubby hated the pink, especially the gloves. In the end I wore the dress (unfortunately not an original, only made by myself from true vintage fabric following a true vintage pattern) with black shoes, gloves, hat and bag.
Day one for my sentimental LV speedy 30. I had wanted this bag forever when I bought it. I had bought it previously from a different LV and half way home noticed there was red nail polish marks all on the under side. Brought it back a couple of days later as it was close to an hour and a half drive each way. The guy tried to say I probably did it. I was so mad and told him to look at my hands . I keep my nails short with no polish. At that point he realized his error and gave me my money back. So when I went to a different lv because I still really wanted it and the wonderful French woman not only understood my need to throughly check the bag but also knew I preferred one made in France. She went digging in the back and came out with perfection. It is now a few years old but still quite the beauty. It always looks a bit mushed from being in its dust bag but after I wear her for a few hours she will be perfect again.
