Yes, I started with a first and the first time I used it I knew it was a mistake. I sold it after 3 weeks and bought a City. ** I bought it about 4 yrs ago and had never seen one in person.
I figured out with other handbag manufacturers, prior to discovering Balenciaga, that I am drawn to an E-W style handbag, the Coach Soho Pocketflap was an ideal bag for me, until I discovered Balenciaga and my Twiggys. Again, totally drawn to the colours first, but I didn't care for the First, City or Day when I saw them, I was totally taken with the Twiggy. The SA suggested putting my things in it to see if everything fit and if I liked it stuffed and that was it. Twiggy, twiggy, twiggy. I didn't realise that I am lucky to have found my fit from the very beginning.
I started with a Twiggy and Day within a week of each other. Ended up keeping the Day and trading the Twiggy for a City. It was more about the color and leather though rather than the style. I was pretty much anti Part-time.........as it turns out, I gave it a shot at NM Palm Beach and now it's my favorite style. Have fun shopping this week. Last time I was there, they had quite a bit to choose from at least in GH that is.
Liked the first but was not sure about the size - so I went to the store to try it and found it a tad small so I went for a city which is perfect for my use, would like a part time for my next bbag.
