Wow!! I ❤❤❤ your B collections ❤👜❤ AMAZING..❤
I've paired down the collection quite a bit, but have managed to pick up a few 'new' pieces along the way (most in the Red line - of course!).
One of my new ALL-TIME favorites .. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this leather .. is the 2012 Holiday Hamilton Leather Coquelicot with mini Giant Gold HW! Notice that I also have the accessories to match!

I'm working on it .. well, actually a clarification .. a "group" shot of all my Red bags!!!! Mind you, I'm probably going to have to clear out the 2nd bedroom and shoo the cats out, but ...
I have to say, I'm a HUGE fan of the Hamilton leather! Over time, it gets softer and the bag begins to take on the "schlumpy" consistency that one is familiar with the brand. The difference? .. that the Hamilton leather is significantly sturdier than the current Agneau (which scratches/wears like crazy). Having just recently gotten the '12 Holiday Hamilton (Red w/ GH), I seriously had to stop myself from using it so much .. I just
it to death!!! I'm seriously considering getting (if I can find it) .. a '12 Black GH City! Okay .. here's a test for all you thread fans .. what year is this from? Hint/Clue .. thick, chewy, distressed leather .. color = Sienna (Tabac)???
Winner, winner .. Chicken Dinner .. it's the 2007 Fall/Winter Sienna .. can't you tell by this FAB leather?!?!

Another example of Balenciaga's ability to create unique colors. This beauty is from the 2005 Pre-Fall collection and was called "Calcaire" which translates to limestone in English. Not sure that I would say that this color is close to limestone (in my opinion, limestone is lighter in color) .. this was a white/beige mix with a slight gray undertone .. super pretty and with the '05 leather .. KILLAH!!

OMG! That group shot is T...D...F!!!!
I so distinctly remember seeing & buying this bag at Barneys. I was with a friend of mine, and we were debating .. "Silver HW or Gold HW; Silver HW or Gold HW". Well, I just love my gold .. so, of course the Gold HW won out!! Presenting the '07 Cafe GGH Part-Time from the Pre-Spring collection!
.. and that's just the icing on the cake, sick woman that I am!!!
Then again, you can relate? .. right???!!!!

Like two sickos in a pod, girl!
I need to wipe up all the drool off my keyboard....
Okay .. so let's talk about Marine. Balenciaga has oftentimes done the same "named" color, but .. that doesn't always mean that it is in fact, the same color!! Case in point ..
- This is the 2007 Marine City - check out this INSANELY fabulous leather; it's SICK!!!
- Then, in 2008 .. Balenciaga brought out another Marine; significantly darker than the 2007 version. Here's the 2008 Marine GSH Part-Time:
