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 :heart::love::heart: 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!

I am so impressed and amazed by your collection! Balenciaga should hire you as a consultant! So, I have to ask... Is there one that you consider THE favorite?

Ooooh boy, that's pretty hard .. it would likely be my "pristine" 2007 Tomato GSH Part-Time (I actually have 2 of them) even though I typically prefer the GGH hardware! The reason why I'm picking this bag is because:

  • The color is a "true" Red
  • The leather is OUTSTANDING; super smooshy, soft & chewy!
  • The GSH is a great contrast to the leather
That being said, I do love the non-Chevre leathers, specifically the Caribou and Calfskin (Bowler bags). I love the "classic" style, but I also dig some of the more "experimental" styles that Balenciaga has come up with over the years (although some others are truly FUG!) :laugh:.

I know .. it's been a while (been super busy in work); wanted to post some "oldies" and "newbies"! Still have quite a few more to do as well!

An "oldie" .. but a major league goodie .. the '06 Spring/Summer INK!!! INK was a beautiful mix of dark Navy with slight purple/black undertones (kind of the predecessor to the loved Officier!).

As most who have read through this thread have probably realized, I'm crazy about the color RED!!! I'm especially crazy about the color Coquelicot; a 'true' Red with zero undertones. I already have the Coquelicot RH Part-Time and RGGH Part-Time; thought I would try the new mGSH Part-Time .. and here she is:

2012 Coquelicot mGSH Part-Time!

In 2012, Balenciaga released a "limited edition" Dark Violet *Gold Hardware* bag. Well, I had the original '07 Violet (Grape) GGH PT, but stupidly sold it (still kicking myself for that!).

Anyhow, I do also have the '07 Violet GSH Part-Time .. she's below and still in the collection!! This is true CHEVRE perfection .. look at that leather!!! Personally, I think '07 was one of the best years for leather (although '05 was also very good)!
