Congrats, dear!
You really don't see the large Cagole a lot. Had the medium when it first launched and liked the bag, but ended up returning it. Something just felt wrong to me about it. The medium was heavy already, so I can only imagine the weight of this one, lol. You should start chugging those protein shakes, haha.
I kinda do love the punk chic. Damn it! Thank goodness the color choices are so limited and they usually cost a fortune...
I wouldn't be safe otherwise.

So true. There's a red Medium Cagole tormenting me on VC right now, but what am I going to do with a bag that expensive that's too small to carry to work and too big for errands/date night? I'm thankful that most Cagoles are unworkable for me. I'm also perpetually shocked by their prices.

Bal, if you're reading this, under no circumstances should you ever release the Large Cagole in more fun colors!

It has taken me almost a year, but I finally found one of my HGs. :happydance:

As if that wasn’t exciting enough, I also discovered (by accident) a way to repair this metallic. Before and after shots of the front mirror shown below and when I complete this project will be creating a post in the Rejuvenating, Restoring & Repair thread with all the details.

Beautiful! I just love Bal metallics and bronze has a special place in my heart! :love:
Can't wait to read how you managed to repair it. Looks great! My Bronze Day could use some damage control on her pretty face...

Question . I got this new Balenciaga first in the mail from fashionohile. It’s quiete a bit newer than my 2008 poupre(photo comparing) having a hard time deciding if I want to keep because the leather is just so stiff. Newer leather is def a different texture almost has more of a shine topcoat. Any way to loosen it up a bit? I def prefer the look of it more slouchy.
