Gorgeous collection! As a former DC resident, I think you made a perfect choice with the Celine as a work bag as well. It's an elegant & perfectly understated bag! And the colors in your collection are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Great collection! You've done well for yourself in a year
I think if they don't issue decent sized hardware on the new bals, Celine might become my new addiction - love the style of their bags...they feel quite luxurious.
Yeah, I'm a little sad about the new giant HW because I just started buying Balenciaga bags last year, I wanted to get so many more styles and combinations with GH. I'm guessing that there will still be a few good GH bags in various stores in stock for awhile, but not in new colors, and I'm not sure if I have the energy to try to track down specific bags from past seasons. I want to get a GH Velo and then I guess I'll give the new mini giant a shot if I like it. If not, Celine might become my new addiction too except they are so darn hard to find! A lot of the Celine styles are too structured and ladylike for me, but there are definitely a few others that I would love to have in my collection.
I've only seen the Mini and I think the Medium here in DC at one store... they are really hard to find! I saw a few at Barney's in Boston too but they didn't have much selection, the SA said they just fly off the shelves. The Nano is definitely too small for me too.

Thank you! I originally wanted the Celine bag in Cobalt blue but then my store ended up not getting it and got this color instead... I was sad at first but decided that this color is best for my intended use of conservative work stuff!
Yes, its Ardoise from spring 2011.
Thanks for the compliments everyone!
Here's a few more pics... a closeup of the pebbled leather, a comparison with Bal SS 2011 Anthra, another "family 2011 photo" and a pic that shows how the sides of the bag are slouchy while the bottom is structured (after about 1 month of using it frequently):
good decision on getting the Celine!
it look really good on you
Wow, thanks for these. I, myself wanted to try Celine Luggage a shot but is it heavier than Bal GH bags?
You're welcome! I think it is about the same weight as my GH Part Time, but it depends on what I'm carrying. I tend to load the Celine bag up with a lot of things because I take it to meetings, so it can get heavy. I generally prefer my Balenciaga Work for meetings still, but the Celine looks more professional and goes really well with a lot of my work clothes.
Please help me decide btwn Celine mini luggage (I actually like the phantom even more but thats toooo big) and Bal city...Im 17 and 5'1. I dont have any Bal or Celine bags. Ive heard the celine is heavy...I hate heavy things and im not used to just top handles but i think the celine is gorgeous and totally worth carrying around no matter how heavy. Balenciaga would probably be better but im just so in love with the celine. Sorry for being all over the place with my thoughts >.<
Great pics! I'm getting drawn to the Celine luggage as a Bal alternative. I saw it in Fraser's dept store when I was in Glasgow a couple of weeks ago. Sadly I didn't have time to handle it and then didn't manage to return to the store
