Balenciaga Dictionary Of Abbreviations

RH= Regular Hardware (i.e all the tassles and brass buckles and zippers etc)
GH= Giant hardware which was the gold knobs on the bags last season and is now available in silver giant hardware for the new season. This version has no tassles associated with the classic bbags.
PT= Part-time bag
I'm sure others will post more abbreviations. You can also check the reference library for pics of the different bags.
 
and of course,

GGH= Giant Gold Hardware
GSH= Giant Silver Hardware
FB= Flat Brass (highly coveted older hardware...)

and stanby for the NM 100th anniversary Balenciaga special edition bag which has, I BELIEVE, Nickel hardware...can't remember if it's Giant or Regular. Jag has posted a photo someone in here.....
 
Thank God you asked...When I joined purse forum, I felt like a dummy because I don't text anyone and everyone abbreviates so many things. It takes me a few times to read something over and then i figure it out.
Now, that i am into Balenciaga(BBags) I have another world of abbreviations!:confused1:
 
Ain't it funny how "abbreviations" is such a long word?

In an effort to adequately inform all of our new bbag addicts on the way of the world in bbag land, here is a Balenciaga Dictionary of Abbreviations.

This is not just for the new, but for the well-established gurus of bbags too. Even genius' forget! :shocked:

This will ensure the ease of transition from any other mediocre-when-compared-to-Balenciaga brand; welcome to this world of painful pleasure and chewy leather.
