Your collection is really beautiful. I wish I could fall in love with balenciaga bags too. Unfortunately, when trying to buy one this year, I didn't feel this oomph, when I saw the bags for the first time IRL. So, I couldn't justify spending so much money on a bag, that didn't make my heart stop. Maybe, I was expecting too much, after all the hype?
Anyway, who knows, maybe I find one and then become a convert! ;)
Enjoy your bags and your life!

Gosh .. yeah, it's been a long time since I posted anything, primarily since I've been downsizing quite a bit due to my move to the West Coast.

A bag that I should have posted a long time ago .. perfect for sunny SoCal .. a 2007 White/Blanc (CHEVRE) GGH Part-Time. Again .. 2007; BEST LEATHER in my book!!

Ceejay, between Agneau leather and the Hamilton chèvre leather, which would you prefer and which do you think would last a lot longer in the long run? Thx!

Chevre is definitely my favorite, although .. I also love some of the not-as-used leathers (Camel & Caribou). Agneau, sadly .. is my least favorite as I find it to be a rather "delicate" leather that can't take wear & tear as much.

The Hamilton leather is amazing .. very durable! I've been using some of my Hamilton accessories every day for way over a year now and they are still in really unbelievable condition! I would highly recommend it .. and it does get softer over time. I think the initial "put-off" was that it wasn't the usual 'schlumpy' Balenciaga leather, but believe me .. it does soften up quite a bit and is just really beautiful!

Between the job & getting ready for the big move out West, I've been VERY busy, so haven't posted some golden oldies .. ready?!?!

1) 2007 Marine - this is CHEVRE leather; and you can tell .. look at that thick, chewy, wonderfully distressed leather. Seriously, 2007 and early 2008 IMO .. were the BEST years for the leather!!

Actually, if you look at the Balenciaga.com website, there are still some G12 bags available. You can also check the various consignment websites for pre-owned bags.

Also keep an eye out for any special/limited editions that Balenciaga may do; guarantee 'ya .. that it will have the old Giant HW!
