i'm so confused...wrinkles, crinkles and veins

[sunny07]

thanks brunettetiger!

i'm still trying to understand all these terms!
i have a question: wouldn't bbags in a darker color (anthracite, plomb, ink) that are distressed would show up with veins too? because of the way that the leather "folds"? over time, wouldn't this phenomenon create more "white veins"?

Thanks!

Well someone take a look at mine? It's my first balenciaga city! I had to have SA send it to me. Let me know what you think! (also..just wanted to double check how will I know it's a 2007 city? )TIA

two totally different 05 Magenta leathers: one smooth and matte, the other veiny and glossy:

^ I love how the different types of leather bring out different qualities of the color!

What leather texture is desirable in a balenciaga? I'm pretty new and I don't know much about the leathers but I'm thinking about buying one soon. Also, can anyone tell me what the difference is in the Black City every season? They look the same to me every season....

I think the most desirable leather is the leather *you* love best

I trade my smooth Magenta Work for this nobbly, wrinkly one and I LOVE IT!!!

[hmwe46]

Thank you!! (and "I" )

And the good news is that it's even broken in yet!!

omg i love your magenta!!

Can anyone help identify the leather on mine? I think it's Lamb..not so sure though.

I feel that it's thick and chewy but then again, I'm not a leather expert!

Thanks! If anyone else wants to describe my bags differently, please do!! LOL, I am just calling them how they look to me, but I am sorta in love with them all.

The only variation I have seen and not liked was "dry" and "crackly" like this one (that went straight back to the store!!):

I'm trying to learn here (slowly). Was wondering you could repost some of your original pictures - they disappeared!
