I was trying to find myself a gift for my 42nd birthday, I looked and looked nothing really catch my eyes
until I saw this Balenciaga Calfskin Classic City Bag in Distressed Brown from Neiman Marcus ! I knew it its the perfect bag I was looking for.
I love it that the leather is a more luxurious calf skin that maybe because its thicker, so the bag sits up on its own and doesnt collapse like the normal vintage lambskin (dont get me wrong, I LOVE all my other work, weekender bags in the soft lambskin!! ). The grain/texture of the leather is more visible and darkens in the wrinkles. The brown color is this dark, rich, luxurious warm tone dark chocolate brown and at the edges of each seam, the color brown turns darker in a very subtle ombré effect that adds dimension and depth to the whole bag!
Does anyone know which season is this bag came from? Is it limited edition? I am so surprised I didnt notice this bag earlier! Thank GOD! that I got the last one from Neiman Marcus ! yay me!
I used to think that a man can only carry the Work or Weekender but I am so glad the City size is also great size for a man, too! (if you are not too tall or built). I am 57 and this bag looks like the right size on me that doesnt looks too small and looks like I am carrying a clutch! LOL
I am so happy with this bag and I had to share my joy with all of you girls and guys whom I know are also designer handbag enthusiast that can appreciate a nice handbag and can relate the joy I am feeling now with this new Balenciaga bag!
Happy ! Happy ! Joy! Joy ! (^__^)
