Hello everyone!! I lately have been going through my collection of bal bags and began thinking back of my first city i ever purchased. I sold it after awhile because it was super beat up and i was willing to spend more money on balenciaga at that point. I’ve been trying for the longest time to try and figure out what season my bag is from, along with the material and color it is. I’ve been researching the forums for hours to avail. Can anyone help ???
The bag was purchased from a japanese seller on ebay. There was a leather tag on the inside. The hardware seemed consistent with every other city ive owned (2007-2012 RH versions). There was no pocket on the back of mirror. The color is a light pink i believe but again it’s super beat up and used so i’m not entirely sure of the original color. The material doesn’t feel like leather or suede to me, i’ve owned cities of both chèvre and agneau leather and this bag feels nothing like either of them. Feels more papery and flaky almost like i could pick it apart, although i probably wouldn’t be able to. The material also adds a sort of glitter shiny affect to the bag but that seems to be what makes it pick up dirt. I believe it also had the deepened pocket in it. I also have the dust bag visible in one photo if that helps indicate the year? Not sure if they ever changed the look of the dust bag but the logo on my F/W12 Cassis City is a bit thicker.
Overall i used and loved the bag a ton.
I have sold the bag now and don’t have it to take additional photos if need be, but below are the photos i believe to be useful in identification. I do not have photos of the back of the leather tag, and i do not have photos of the rivets (although i think i do remember them to be the notched ones)
Please let me know if you have any questions for me or need anything more!!
Love the city so sad for it to be discontinued. Hopefully it makes a comeback on the resale market and bal will bring it back in a few years with updates on the focal issue points (resin glazing, corners, handles, color fade) Hope you’re reading this Demna
THANK YOU ALL ! ♥️
