Hello!

So I've wanted a Balenciaga city bag ever since I saw Johnny Weir's Balenciaga tree (if you know what I'm talking about then you know it has been a long time). However, I've just never bought one. I FINALLY purchased one last week and am now in LOVE! It is a giant brogues city in chataigne from 2011, and the leather is so beautifully broken in and like butter. I love the bag so much that I ended up ordering a town bag too (I'll share soon!).

I loved my large Neo Classic so much that I got one in the next size down, for when I need to carry less and/or a different look. The bag has a compartment in the middle and is also lined with leather.

I placed my Neo Classic bags side-by-side for a comparison in the last photo.

Have you seen the Large Neo Classic City with the regular size handle and shoulder strap? It looks the same as the bag on the left, but with the dimensions of the bag on the right.

Oh?! That exists?! I would love that! Do you happen to have a picture of it? I tried looking and can't seem to find a photo of one. I love the size of the bag on the right but the handles are a bit long for hand-carrying, which is why I got one size down with the shorter top-handles for hand-carrying. The long handles are great for shoulder-carrying (different photo from last time showing the bag over the shoulder):

I have one so will post photos later tonight when I’m home.

I used to have the large one you have but couldn’t pull off the long handles. Especially since I’m only 5’3”. The large with regular handles and strap is ideal when you need a really big bag.

This is one. I’ll still take photos at home. Mine has shoulder strap as well.

Oh my! This would solve the problem of the handles being too long. Never seen this till now. I like the proportions of this more than the long handles (which I first saw on their runway), but I won't buy this now that I already have two Neo Classic bags!
