[purses & pugs]

P&P my dearest beautiful friend.....I know how much you adore GH & how we both were horrified when we first heard the news...Come on board quickly, we so need your input..... Your collection of giant HW is spectacular & when you post your goodies, I am going to (many will faint with me, I'm sure

Sweet *T*, first we were pretty horrified when Bal stopped producing the GGH bags and now this! Nothing wrong with introducing new stuff, but why discontinue a classic that sells really well??
LOL you are cute, I will post pics of my GH bags soon my friend And seeing your gorgy additions make me smile...they are so beautiful

I remember when GH was introduced and I didn't like it, along with many others, but after a short while it definitely grew on me and now I definitely prefer GH on my bbags. I will be very sad if they do end up discontinuing it.

I'm totally with you all on here! Love GH, will probably never buy another Bal after this year if it's really gone!

Sharing my Anthra 2011 RGGH City... This is back when she was relatively new, she's softer and smooshier and even more gorgeous now!

I don't own any Bals but an envelope clutch with GH is on my long term wish list. I would only buy it with GH. IMO, the regular hardware is boring and the giant is what draws me in and adds style to the bags.

So, I guess pre-loved is in my future unless they decide to keep GH around!

^^^
yikes! How stunning is this? ^^^ meant for P&P. (another post got in between us)

All these beautiful bags in these killer collections. Nice that you got them while they were around.
This is how I feel about the older pewter bags and hunting them down is half the fun.
So GH will be the new HG.

Gorgeous pictures everyone!
I'm so very sad GH is gone. The GH really adds to the overall look of the bag - especially when it's RGGH
I own a Light olive city with RGGH and love it TO DEATH!!! I will not be buying any Bal bags with the mini hardware - not worth it and not as nice
PLEASE BRING IT BACK BALENCIAGA!!!!

Love everyones collection!!!! Your pictures made me crave for more GH.

The introduction of the GH was the reason I started my love affair w/ Balenciaga & it's what made me notice the brand. I was never attracted to the RH, only lately that it started to grow on me & slowly fall in love w/ it. But still, I'm a die hard to GH, just waiting for my desired past seasons combos to show up.

Here's some more group shots when I first started my Bal addiction, though I no longer have them, but I did enjoyed them & miss each 1:

I'm so glad I went with RGGH for my first (and only) Bal. Not madly in love with this MGH, guess I'll be vintage hunting if I want MOAR.

2011 Bleu Lavande RGGH City.

Taking her home... er back to the hotel.

First, a group family shot then maybe later (don't know when yet), by GH color.
