Hiya Ladies,

I have another bag that I would love to know what colour it is. I have looked under 2008 and there are two blues & I can't tell which one is mine

I am assuming its a First?

Dear Purseforum

I recently purchased this Balenciaga Giant City. Can you help me identify year and color? Thanks.

Thanks. Yes it is quite fainted. But it is in very good condition regarding the leather, so I'm thinking of dying it. Maybe purple

Be careful dying it. It can definitely change the leather for the worse.

Hi Saira :)
I was curious about it as well ( it was in AT ), my first thought was 08 Sky Blue, but when I compared to my 08 SB it has different colour of zipper tape and stitches ( mine are darker)
:thinkin:
Could it be Turquoise?

You know, Sssy, I think you are right. I didn't even look at the zipper tape because I looked at the tag, etc. which looked like sky blue to me. Upon further inspection, I agree that it is most like 08 ET. Thanks!

Thank you :smile1: My first guess was SB, but when I checked I wasn't sure any more.
I'm trying to learn from you, but you have this secret gift ;) I will keep guessing :D

Thanks for your help. I had thought of turquoise myself, but since it is fainted I was in doubt. Do you think the leather will get more dry/hard if I dye it?
The leather isn't that soft at the moment. I have another city (2008 I think) which is much softer, so I'm hoping it will help giving some conditioner.

Check out the care and maintenance section. There are a lot of threads discussing dying and the effects afterwards. I have heard that it can significantly change the leather but it may depend on how it is dyed and what is used.
