[coolncute89]

Hey all,

I really wanna buy a Balenciaga but I seriously no NOTHING about them...I just love how they look like in general...can you help me out? can you all post pics of the bags you recommend me to get? I want a brown meduim size one...what do ya'll think??

I think a brown City (aka medium) would be a great choice for a first Bbag. Bal has lots of great browns. Here's a pic. of my cafe (pre-spring 07) city.

Wow that's gorgeous citychris...but what's the difference between city and giant city? Are they the same size but one with gold rivets or what exactly?

^ That's right "giant" refers to the big, gold hardware. The "regular hardware" is antiqued brass cones (spikes) with flat tops. Here's a page that shows all the styles and sizes:

And here's the one with the current colors that are out:

Post pics when you get your bag!

I agree that a Cafe city or a Truffe City would be a good place to start. The Cafe is a very dark brown (like sepia ink with black undertones) and the Truffe that I saw is a medium Brown, not as light as the name makes it sound.

If you're someplace near a store that sells current Balenciaga, you should at least be able to see both colors in something, and you can still find a City in either color somewhere in America.

OMG, citychris that is one seriously stunning bag. I liked the color when I first saw the swatches for ss07 bags, then I got the 05 chocolate...so I have been telling myself I don't need 2 similar brown. But seeing your gorgeous cafe, I am dying to get one.

I think you should get cafe city. 07 leather is so much nicer than 06 leather. And cafe is a great shade of brown. Good luck with your decision and let us know.

I think a city in truffle or cafe would be fab for a first balenciaga. Good luck! I really hope you purchase one, the quality is fantastic and you will just want more and more!
