Just want to share my new-to-me turquoise First from S/S 2005 :smile: first saw this in a PurseBlog article about the rarest Balenciaga colors/bags and I fell in looove :love: I wasn't even planning on purchasing anything but I saw this while shopping online in the middle of the night and I just had to have it, haha! Got it for such a good price too, that's probably why I keep going back to Bal lol...

This is now my 3rd First and I have no plans on stopping! The size is just perfect. I just cannot get behind the micro/nano trend right now... this is probably the smallest I can go!

She has split tassels as you can see in the photo so she will need a trip to the bag spa but her color is still SO stunning, leather is sooo smooshy, and there's very little fading considering she's been around for almost 18 years now!

I will try to post some pics again once she comes back from the spa :smile:

(P.S. I also think the previous owner cut the tassels a bit but I don't mind at all!)

Confession: I was naughty again.
Full disclosure: I was still gutted after someone swooped in and nabbed that pine green Giant 21 hobo before I could back in December. So I kept searching and this little babe popped up. A 2011 Vert Sauge day with giant rose gold hardware and the price was an absolute steal. (Less than I paid for any other day or hobo I own). The color is perfect. As I wanted something either green or teal in the day style for spring and summer.
It is a bit more dry than other Bals I have, but I do also own an arsenal of leather moisturizer so not a problem.

Hi all! In relation to the 05 Turquoise First I just got… would anyone know what leathers Bal used in S/S 2005? I find that the leather feels a bit different from my S/S 2012 Vert Poker First. Or is it just a matter of different batches? TIA!
