Hi! I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place. I'm usually in the LV section. I'm newly obsessed with getting a bal city. I have my eye on a pre-loved 2010. I've done a ton of research on this forum (thanks to you guys) but can't seem to tell whether the leather from a
S/S 2010 was desirable. Thanks in advance!

Hi, this thread is for identifying colors, styles, and years of bags. This topic is generally discussed in the main Bal forum. Leather preference is very subjective and some years may be more coveted than others, but again that is a personal preference. I personally liked 2010 leather. I thought the leather distressing, thickness and saturation was good. Some people like smooth leather, some like wrinkled, marbled, etc. If you search in the main forum, you will find a lot of good threads. Hope that helps!

Thanks so much for your response! It was VERY helpful. I will definitely so some more research in the main forum, but it's great to hear you personally liked the 2010 leather. ❤️

Hi Saira I need your help :smile1:
2012 Glycine Continental Wallet Hamilton Collection- I believe it was made of thicker goatskin, but I found this thread saying it was calfskin :thinkin:
TIA :smile1:

CeeJay knows a lot more about this particular collection than I do. I know that the tags list them as Chevre leather, but it isn't the leather that we know as Chevre. I have heard it referred to as calfskin as well. Let me do a little more research...

Thank you :smile1: From my research I couldn't figured out if it is calfskin or not. I always thought Hamilton leather is a thick goatskin not calfskin ( to be honest it reminds me of regular cow leather) I would be grateful for more info :balloon:

Thank you Livia :smile1: I saw in mentioned link that someone said it is Hamilton but Calfskin. I'm talking about Continental Wallet :smile1:

Sorry, I must have misunderstood.
You mean, you think there might be two kinds of Hamilton leather and that the one for the Wallet is calfskin?

I think the thread starter in that thread just got it wrong?

All Hamilton was goatskin as far as I know.

Thank you this is what I wanted to know :smile1:
I thought that it was just Thread Starter mistake but when I did small research I found out that many sellers call this wallet Hamilton Continental made of calfskin. :thinkin:
Logically all Hamilton Collection should be made of the same leather- goatskin.

Logically yes, because Hamilton was what Bal called this, goat, leather for the '12 and '13 Holiday Collection. It also looks like Hamilton/goat on those wallets imo.
Also, there are still many members who doesn't realise that Hamilton is goat, so there is that ;)
