If you could only have 5... What would you choose?

10 Black Town RH
Rouge Vif City RH
Bouton D'Or Day GSH
07 Tomato First
03 Olive Brown City RH

.... and I'm going to sneak in 09 Pommier PT RH

But this seems to change twice a year, depending on what I've sold.

For now, I am so relieved to finally say - I am absolutely content and do not want for anything more:biggrin:
 
I would keep from my collection
07 White ggh city
07 Black ggh city
07 Mogano ggh city
07 Vert Gazon ggh city
07 Amethyst ggh city

and one extra
07 Truffle ggh city.

sounds so nicely downsized, that I migt as well sell all the others.
These are the one I love to death.
 
i've been avoiding this thread since i cannot really finalize my list.

but i will try now...

if the balenciaga fairy could hear me i would like to wish for:

08 ggh amethyst day
ggh black city (still cant decide what year as long as smooshy)
07 vg ggh city (or pommier will do)
10 outremer sgh city
09 ggh raisin work

:P
 
This is tough. But here goes...

Black PT GGH (still searching for the perfect jet black with smooth leather)
09 Mandarin PT RH
10 Outremer SGH City (or 08 Electric Blue Day RH)
08 Amethyst Day RH
07 Vert Gazon GGH Day

Damn! I just realize I only have 2 out of the 5 in my collection! Does this mean I should let go of the others that are not listed in my top 5?!?!
 
oh...it is tough! But I try to list them up!( just for now though)

Ledix or 02 black fbf
04 eggplant Weekender
05 Turq Work
05 RT City
07Black GGH Work
 
UPDATE! (My top 5 changes as my collection morphs, and on other whims - almost daily)


'04 Seafoam PH Flat Messenger
'06 Lilac Work
'07 Truffle GGH PT
'09 Black SGH Traveller
'09 Black RH City
 
As long as my husband doesn't see this...

I tried answering earlier in this thread but b/c I've been collecting for so many years and ultimately try to have a little something from every season it adds up fast. First, I started with 2001 bags and didn't get past 2004 when I tried to figure this out earlier...I definitely need a new strategy to filter the fabulous options down to five out of 17 seasons!

The oldies are so nice I'll have to skip a bunch of them to get my selection down to 5 bags...there are just WAY too many fabulous Balenciaga items to choose from. I love this thread and want to come up with my Top 5 Favorites!

Okay, here are my 5 Essential Balenciaga items:
1. '01 FW Navy flat brass First (w/ Le Dix GOLD tag)
01_navy_fbf.jpg


2. '02 FW Black Monk Leather Multi-Zip Hobo (w/ pewter hardware)

3. '04 FW Black Flat Clutch (in love since the day I first touched it!)
04_black_clutch_onme_f.jpg


4. '04 FW Light Turquoise Mini Classique (sweetest of sweethearts brought this bag into my life)
04_turq_mimi_onme.jpg


5. '09 SS "Pewter" Metallic City (limited edition that's perfect for summer ;o)
09_le_metallic_city_onme.jpg


I feel like I'm leaving out so many amazing bags, but these are definitely my favorites right now and 5 Balenciaga bags is a good size collection. I remember having one for a couple years and feeling that was plenty!!
