I tend to buy my purses for specific use so all bags are used regularly. More like to match my lifestyle than my outfit. Maybe I should start buying purses to match my outfit. lol
Okay .. so, first of all .. let me get this out there .. I consider myself a Balenciaga collector. I started with the original Flat Brass "Le Dix" (Gold Label) when it initially came out and while I have bought/sold quite a few, it is still my favorite brand and if I find a good "oldie", it gets scooped up and put into my collection. That being said .. behold the Bal closet in my house (and I'm re-working it so don't mind the picture!) ..

Absolutely. I am carrying one today. I consider it a neutral, suitable for any season with the right clothes. I would not carry one with a pastel summer dress, but I never wear pastel summer dresses.My black B has been so unused this summer! Does anyone wear their black bags in hot weather? I'm a very colorful dresser and I just inherited the black B from my mom. It's so beautiful but bc of my wardrobe I'm not really sure how to wear it in the summer…
I do keep all of mine in dust bags for that very reason, keeps the dust off if they're sitting around for a bit. The bags are breathable so I don't thinks that's a worry. I think it also helps avoid any incidental scratches etc. Protection.Is there any valid reason, care and maintenance-wise, why most of kept Bal bags are not in the dustbags? I'm just wondering. I might buy one, a City in Bordeaux, so I'd like to know if I should keep it in the dustbag or out in the closet to let the leather breathe? Thanks

Use them, that's what they were made for ...honestly, I use my anis MU bag and love it every time I pull it out of my bag...No. But my collection is tiny I do however have two Balenciaga SLG:s that I've never used and really should sell but I find this hard as I love them and had to hunt for them a bit.
I can relate -- I have a couple hard to find limited edition SLGs from another brand that I haven't used yet. They are so pretty to me that I want them to stay new and pristine (lol). I can sell them for a profit but I don't have the heart to (maybe I will someday when I need the purse fund to buy something else even more special, lol).No. But my collection is tiny I do however have two Balenciaga SLG:s that I've never used and really should sell but I find this hard as I love them and had to hunt for them a bit.

I think when I first started buying Bal:s and not just admiring all of the tPF:ers', I hadn't really thought through exactly what I wanted. I go back and forth with these items. Maybe now that I've bought a red City (that I'll hopefully keep : ) it will be easier to let the red m-u clutch go. It doesn't fit my Proenza Schouler Pouch for ex and I draw the line at rotating m-u bagsI can relate -- I have a couple hard to find limited edition SLGs from another brand that I haven't used yet.
