I finaly received the bag.
I like the style and the size, it's a PT O8 charcoal and it looks defenitly grey and NOT black, great.
BUT the leather looks so craky/dry like if it would broke next week.
Should I mustorize it and than deperlant it? This bag is going to ruin me if I have to put thing on it several thimes a year. I thought that for the prize the leather would be less fragile.

Hello,
I took a picture. As you can see there are a lot of veines. The lether is especially dry on the corners area.
I like the color but don't know what to do. Keep it or return it and get an other LV canva for the same price?
You believe this dryness could be a problem on the long run?
thanks

LA Francaise: the crackly dry look is somewhat normal on most balenciaga bags. It's the "distressed" look that Bbags are known for. I personally moisturize my bags... with either Apple Guard Lotion or Lovinmybag's Pro-treatment. Moisturizing will help.
If you're not use to the look.. sit on it for a few days.. and if it still bothers you.. exchange it for the LV. It's quite a large amount of $$ to spend on something if you're not feeling 100% about it.
fyi: LV's are structured... Balenciaga's are known for non-structured.. puddley, smooshy bags.

d luck and keep us updated~!

d luck and keep us updated~!I think the bag looks beautiful! I agree with oogie... leather moisturizer (not lubriderm or human skin care lotion) should help soften and minimize the veiny appearance. My marine SGH PT had some dry areas and with repeated use of leather moisturizer (apple leather care is great as are leather wipes by Weiman), those areas have softened and feel less crackly.
