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)
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!)
4. '04 FW Light Turquoise Mini Classique (sweetest of sweethearts brought this bag into my life)
5. '09 SS "Pewter" Metallic City (limited edition that's perfect for summer ;o)
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!!
