Most of you who have been on the forum (I've been on TPF since 2005) know about my serious Balenciaga "addiction". Over time, I've amassed quite a few bags; mind you .. also sold quite a few over time.

Here's a sampling of the past & current bags in my collection ...
Just want to send my gratitude to Ceejay for all her sharing--her out of this world collection, pics, love & knowledge! This thread is a major bookmark for me and I have learned so much pouring over this blog so thanks to you all who make purse forum!!!
 
ceejay, do you buy preowned too?

ABSOLUTELY!! .. but, it depends on the Year/Season and the overall condition of the bag. I will never buy a bag that has serious corner issues (in other words, it's all the way down to the fabric) nor rips in the leather. Serious fading is also something that I don't care for; some of the color can be brought back up by using Leather Honey, but not always and you must use it sparingly (and I wouldn't recommend it on light-colored Chevre).

Other than that, I've become pretty darn good at "re-habbing" the bags, e.g., tassels, getting oil stains out, handles, etc.

Your BAL group photo [emoji119][emoji119][emoji119][emoji119]

I really want to get that black lizzard embossed from the 10th anniv OMG! And the 2007's Bal babies in purple and bluee and reddd [emoji7][emoji7] Care to tell where I might be able to get them? I am a little bit afraid of using e-bay as lots of fake bag seller nowadays and I am not good for spotting real vs fake Bal [emoji20][emoji20]

If you might wanna let one of those babies go, you should do the auction here! Or at least let us know where will u sell them LOL [emoji1][emoji1]
