Yes, it's important to notmake this tunr into a bash fest. But, asking thisquestion in an LV forum, a forum full of fans of a brand that has such a different history and most of a a very different brand of design and overall appearance, one would not expect the most positive response in favor of Bal.
The above applies to me. Bal bag do not at all appeal to me, they look very rock-casual, they are slouchy, consist of (mostly) monochromatic leather and big hardware. That being said, I can appreciate them on a different person. Depeding on your style, they can make an outfit look totally cool ithout overpoering it like some LVs may have a slight tendency of doing. While an LV will be an LV no matter if you wearit with nicer clothes or not, allthough it can be overpowering, a balenciaga IMO will not look as good with as many outfits or styles.
ALl of the above is assuming you buy one of the classic bals.
I would never buy a balenciaga unless there were major changes made to the brand, it simply doesen't appeal to me in most ways (craftsmanship, design finish etc). However, I would suggest for you to go to the store and try them on to see ho they work with your outfit and style. Maybe they are perfect for you!
ANd remember to post the reveal!
