Gorgeous!!! Can’t wait to get mine - yes, I jumped on the one you posted from TRR 😎I have doubles of this Black/White Lattice and the Iridescient City. In both cases, I'm supposed to narrow it down to keeping the better-conditioned bag, but they are all great so it's been difficult deciding which to let go of. Eventually, I just need to do it.
The pattern on these while the same is not in the same placement on the bags, so they each look unique. If Bal x Bottega had a baby it would be the Lattice.
Black/White Lattice #1 (this one looks like it spells out “Hi” on the top of the bag):

This bag has always intrigued me, but I stayed away thinking that it was heavy. Do you have any pictures styled with it? It’s brings to mind Cruella Deville’s black-and-white vibe, in a very cool way obviously.
Yes, it definitely does look like a very hip Cruella bag! LOL!
In doing research on this one I can tell you initially they were made exclusively for Barney’s as a LE and then released in multicolor versions later that were sold across NMs & other stores. As far as I know, the Black/White versions were only produced in Giant Silver HW & yes, they are on the heavy side.
I know this bag was featured on the cover of a Barney’s catalog back in the day & also worn by Christina Aguilera multiple times. Since I don't have any styling pics of myself with this one, here are a few pics of Christina with hers.
Huge congrats on yours!!

Are we sure they're agneau? I don't know which one you have but we used to play "name that colour" with these bags and a lot of the leather strips were chevre colours.
Great point regarding the colored lattices, curious if anyone can confirm.
For the Black & Whites I have the card which states Agneau and the back of the mirrors do not have pockets.
Regarding the lattice bags, 2009 seems to be the year I read about most for the release, but many of the bags were made of strips from chevre years. So possibly a combo of agneau for the structure and chevre for the strips?
I always thought the colored ones were partly agneau (handles, trim, corners, strap) and the lattices chevre. I remember my City had agneau stamped on the card. I don't know if "chevre" would be explicitly on that card as well? I don't think it was.
Edit says I'm too slow. As always, lol.
I actually do remember reading that thread when I got the bag. Here's a pic of mine with the cards.
I think they may be 08 colors rather than 05 🤷♀️ hence both lines on the card say agneau.
They're all left over scraps so maybe the year isn't important.That's the only color that throws me off

It’s called under the bed. 😃I need the closet space for more Bals though!
