Protein beat me to it. I was just about to post these….Both beautiful hard to find Days. It took me years to find a Caramel with leather close to this one!

Never saw this color before. May have been a prototype (no fabric tags/sample size). Definitely from 2010, the year the quilted jackets were released (the “dirty” white tag was only used 1x)

Quilted Leather Moto Jacket, size 36 (4/6) - great price (esp if it lasts for the 20% d/c)

The more I look at those pics, the more convinced I am this is a one of kind prototype. I don’t think they ever released a quilted jacket with black striping down the back. Not sure, but this might also be Biscuit leather from 2007 (or at least the color)

"Removed fabric tags" could also lean towards sample... maybe?

I mentioned that when I first shared it
The missing fabric tag and sample size (almost always a 36) makes me think its a sample of a prototype that was never put into production

If thats true, there could be other irregularities that we can’t see in pics

It's gorgeous. Too bad it's tiny (for me).

I’m newer to Balenciaga collecting and I’m in love with the courier. Just bought my first city today after getting a 2005 chèvre magenta day in the mail. Help I’ve got the bug! I also want a Bersace!

I know — all the skinny girls benefit from those one of a kind prototype clothing samples!

ha! oh, you're a goner. it's the colors and styles - they're all so good and so pretty! that city you nabbed is stunning. looking forward to seeing pics when she arrives! 💜

is it ludicrous to spend $500-600 on a 2005 city in pretty good condition? my rational mind is telling me it’s a little crazy but i think if it disappears it’s all i’ll think about. 😭

No. So many factors come into play
if its in really good shape with minimal wear, $500-600 is more than a fair price
If a highly desirable color from 05, I’d say thats actually a really good price

no it is not really crazy, I missed one in coquelicot two days ago just because I did not jump to $600 but offered $550 and just when it was gone I felt the pain of my own stupidity. it was a redder 2011 not 2012 orangier, so yes it hurts

Gosh no. Quality and scarcity of good-condition chevre bags are factors.

i feel your pain. this happened to me the other day with an 04 marigold mini classique. it was so perfect and beautiful. someone swiped her before i could even send an offer and i am still so sad. you will find another coquilicot beauty, i’ll be on the lookout for one and msg you if i see one. 💛

so it’s a bit faded but i’m sort of in love with the look. it’s a bubblegum city — deco posted it in the finds thread a few days ago and i’ve been looking at it at least 27 times a day. the seller is very sweet but won’t go lower than her asking so i’m trying to really rationalize it 😩💗

At this point $5-600 for a good 2005 is a bargain. Prices for older Moto bags are climbing. You should see how much sellers are charging for completely trashed bags.
