Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm wild for the color RED!! Well, at the end of 2004, Balenciaga came out with it's first line of "Metallics" .. the '04/05 HOLIDAY Metallics collection! What was really interesting about this collection, was that the hardware was painted the same color as the leather (including the inside tag)! I loved this collection, and had/have the following:

1) Rouge Metallic City - sold (a major "page-fault" on my part!)

2) Magenta Metallic City - still in the collection

3) Orange Metallic City - still in the collection (will take photos soon, but in the meantime .. here's the Orange Shoulder that I used to have!)

Omg!! I am soooooo envious of your lovely lovely collection, as a beginner, I am so thankful for your "education"! I'm definitely a Bal convert! ;)

I actually have quite a few more to post, but one bone-head mistake I made a long time ago was selling my Mogano GGH Part-Time. Managed to recently find another .. albeit, missing it's strap & mirror, but given that I also have 2 Mogano Cities .. I just used one of the straps and mirrors .. and VOILA .. the "improved" Mogano GGH PT!!! This is a classic 2007 bag .. LOOK AT THIS LEATHER!!! Yummy, smooshy, thick & chewy .. YUMM-O!!

That is one gorgeous bag CeeJay! Why do you sell a bag? Are they too close in color to another, or a size that doesn't work?

Oftentimes, it's because I have a similar bag (I also have the Cafe GGH PT). However, I then find that I really miss then because the leather is so superb .. and I'm really all about the leather with Balenciaga bags!

Another gorgeous specimen from the awesome '07 Leather collection, is the Vert Fonce GSH PT! Vert Fonce is a gorgeous Olive/Brown .. and yet again, the leather is TDF .. thick, chewy and gorgeously distressed. Seriously .. 2007 was THE YEAR for leather (IMO)!!

Oh yeah .. Mogano is the bomb; a great color and the leather was consistently like this .. just SUPERB!!

I was in Italy when the '07 F/W colors came out, and I will never forget being in a boutique in Arezzo .. drooling over all these bags with the B-E-S-T leather ever!!! I so wanted a Mogano bag, but the H/B said "no way - you've spent too much $$$" (BOO-HISS on him!). So, initially .. I missed out, but I just played the waiting game and voila, now have 3 Mogano bags! 2 Cities and then the Part-Time!
