Thank you all for your wonderful comments; as you can all see .. I truly love my Bal bags!!
A bag that has been on the "Holy Grail" list for some time ('cos I just
RED), was a Rubisse GGH Part-Time! FINALLY, after a 2 year wait, I was able to get one .. "pre-loved" .. but still in pretty great condition!! Here she is .. and will NEVER leave my collection!!! She looks more "pinky" in the pic below; in general, Rubisse was a deep red with definitely blue undertones .. a "classic" Red!

Thanks *ceedoan*; yes .. it's funny, a lot of folks didn't like the Giant Hardware when it was first introduced, but then there were also those that loved it from the start .. and that was the impetus for them becoming interested in Balenciaga!!!
With the introduction of the new "mini" Giant Hardware (referred to as 'G12', a lot of folks have expressed disappointment .. and don't want to buy Bal bags anymore. I have always found that when Balenciaga introduces a new style, it usually takes a 'season' for people to become used to it, and I do think that folks will finally come around to the mGH. However, that being said, I also wish that Balenciaga won't completely discontinue the GIANT HARDWARE .. and indeed, they have already announced that they will have some special edition Giant Hardware bags available in the Balenciaga boutiques very soon (May). Looking forward to a Dark Violet GGH PT - YUM!!!
I've recently taken some better pictures of some of my Metallic bags, so without further adieu .. here are:
- 2004/2005 - Magenta Metallic City! What's really interesting about the original Metallic Collection, was that the hardware was "painted" the same color as the leather. Cool - but somewhat problematic in that it would chip off (I've been lucky on that front .. probably because I've used them sparingly!).
- 2005 - Pewter Metallic City! From the 2005 Metallic Collection, the "painted" HW was replaced by Silver HW .. and the Pewter had more "pink" undertones .. gorgeous!!
Wow.....your metallics are eye-popping! Until i joined Purseforum I didn't even know about Balenciaga. Now, the City bag is one of the two or three at the top of my list. When the time comes, I'm sure it'll be pre-loved and probably black, but I can't wait!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful collection.
