Thank you so much!In 2005 the leather used was chevre (goatskin). Very beautiful, soft, light and tough. Congratulations on your rare and special bag!

i love your collection!
finally got a papier bucket, and eggplant MU arrived, looking beautiful and far better than I’d imagined. @PikaboICU was right, the listing photos made it look more faded than it was.
The color and leather look divine!Just want to share my new-to-me turquoise First from S/S 2005first saw this in a PurseBlog article about the rarest Balenciaga colors/bags and I fell in looove
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
(P.S. I also think the previous owner cut the tassels a bit but I don't mind at all!)

Omg! I just LOVE a Velo - they're so hard to come by these days!Just picked up my new baby today.. Too bad it doesn't have the strap and the dust bag anymore.. The condition is impeccable though that's why I decided to get it.. the color is pretty too.. I forgot how light a Bal with normal size hardware feels like I'm so used to carrying ones with those heavy giant hardwares..

I love them too.
I really love the strap, I have a Dark Violet Velo & a DV City so I often use the Velo strap on my City.
ooooh, this is so convenient. I have a dark violet city and used to have work, work didn't have a strap and city has a short one and I would need the velo strap....two bags in the most beautiful bal color for me ...drooolI love them too.

It's nice to see such a steady stream of acquisitions in this thread. Frightening that most are by a handful of the usual suspects. 
I love this place.
