Oh CeeJay, you are my bbag hero! That front closet of yours must be ginormous. Just when I thought I was getting over my bbag addiction, I stumble upon your thread. Oh my, I am positively green with envy! :greengrin:
 
wow cj
I've looked at this a few times before and think I posted but....man...you have some really beautiful bags.
It would be mind blowing to see a group shot. You will need a wide angle lens...but not sure if they make one that can span that distance.:smile1:
I guess if they can get the grand canyon is a single shot...they could probably get a decent image of your bag collection without too much distortion.:D

So great to see these cj. Thanks for taking all the time to post. Oh...and love the new RED addition. Also the stunning mimosa group.
 
I stop breathing.
I die.

2007 is considered one of the 'great years' for Balenciaga leather (gee - maybe we should call it the "Vintage Year" - like Wine!).

Anyhow, what was great about 2007 .. the leather was uniformly thick & chewy; great color saturation and best .. unbelievable distressing!! One of the stellar colors of the 2007 F/W season, was Mogano (Cinnamon in English). Take a look at my 2007 Mogano RH City, and you can see what I mean .. LOOK AT THAT LEATHER .. yummie, nummie, scrummie!!!

Yes, I know .. I've been remiss in posting a lot of my other 'oldies' & such .. but as I've noted, quite a few are stored away .. so, that means having to dig through and get them out to photograph (and with 2 Maine Coon kitties .. I assure you, that is NOT easy without them interloping!).

However, in the meantime .. came across this baby recently and again, being the distressed leather nut that I am, I COULD NOT resist (like the Borg - HA :p!).

Presenting .. the 2011 Nuage GSH PT; check out the leather!! [Sorry for the crap pictures, they were taken in work .. not the best lighting!]

Oh yeah .. and for those of you who asked for a 'group' shot .. I really don't think it's possible in the space that I have, and I can pretty much guarantee that a fluffy Kitty Cat would make an appearance! After all, check out my little baby when she was just a kitten .. already hogging one of my bags (well - at least she has good taste!!)

I remember one time being in Barneys, and seeing this gal with a major-league stunning bag .. a periwinkle with the GGH Hardware, and in the Part-Time style to boot! I wanted to just rip it off of her and then just R-U-N like heck!! Well, of course I didn't do that, but at least I finally stumbled upon a 2007 Bleu Glacier (Periwinkle) City!!! Would be really cool to do compare photos with Tempete and Nuage!

They're all gorgeous! Although I would be happy with just three of them and I would buy the other bags from different designers.

Been there; done that. I've have (or have had) YSL, Jimmy Choo, Lanvin, Chanel, LV, Marc Jacobs, Hermes, Marni, etc. at one point or another. Bottom line, while I still have some (Hermes, Marni, Chanel), Balenciaga is my favorite brand.
