I am looking for a Balenciaga City perhaps work. I am fascinated by the golden studs but is concerned that it may look gaudy and the "gold" may tarnish or fade over time. What do u think? Any advice?

Any advices also on what is a better bag. City, Work or even Part-Time and why?

Thanks

I have both RH and GH bags. Even though I'm more of an RH girl, I find the giant hardware a lot of fun to carry. I definitely prefer the GH on the larger bags like the Part-time and the Work. The City I prefer in regular hardware. As far as tarnishing, so far mine haven't but I've only had them for maybe 4 or 5 months. I live in Florida so I think if they were going to do that, I would have seen it already due to the humidity. I had a anna corinna bag that tarnished within a couple weeks of arriving to florida. HTH a little bit. You may want to check the photos of wearing your Bbags thread when the Bal forum is back up and running. It'll give a good idea of what the bags look like being worn.:smile:

I had the pleasure of trying the GH for the first time over the weekend and my are they heavy!!! I think I wouldn't worry too much about tarnishing...but the weight might be a problem cause the bag was heavy with nothing in it..i'd hate to think how much it weighs with stuff in it.:confused1:

I have a GH City, which I consider to be my 'very special' bag. It's got very thick leather and is heavier than my RH Cities. But I think that the 2 are very different types of bag. My GH goes out on special occasions and my RH bags go to work and to the supermarket. I have had no tarnishing from the GH, which I think looks fantastic with either jeans or dressed up. They are gorgeous bags. But I also love the RH bags and these accompany me during my working day.
