charmed: i did the exact same thing with a day; it was an 08 and not broken in..i didnt know what all the fuss was, i didnt like it at all, seems i probably did not give it a chance, so now i think i will try and buy an older one...

Here is my (and my DH's, he's the one who's holding the bags, lol) contribution:

Broken-in 05 Black RH City v.s. 2 months old 09 Charbon RH City

It even seems there is a size difference between this 2!

funny you should mention the size difference, my black cherry city feels a whole lot bigger than my 06 black and greatly broken in city.

Is there a difference how a city with RH breaks in as opposed to one with giant hardware. Does the hardware make a difference in the broken in look?

It does vary. Please see http://forum.purseblog.com/balenciaga/show-me-your-broken-in-bags-191350.html
