I purchased this bag which I find beautiful, the leather is so soft.. And it is surprisingly lightweight!
However, there are two white spots (seems like a discoloration of the leather) on the back of the bag.. Not sure to keep it as the bag was listed as new and Fashionphile refuses to make any discount :sad: Plus I am afraid that the leather is too delicate..
To those who have this bag, how do they wear? Are they very delicate and require babying (which I try to avoid with bags..). Thanks for your messages :smile:

i had one from the very first release (2010, i believe), Chestnut, the leather was simply out of this world!
i was on the fence for a long while just because of the leather, but ended up letting it go coz it was the biggest size A3 and it was wearing me, and not the other way around :D
now i have a B4 from limited anny collection with Tattoo finish, it is a work-horse bag :yes:

Here’s my new Bal Metallic Edge City Small. I had the regular city many years ago but found it too large for my frame. I think the small city is just the right size but the strap is way too long so I ended up double it up to make it for shoulder carry. The goatskin feels supple and thick so I am glad I finally got this. :smile:

Your Hello Kitty charm is adorable! :love: Isn't the leather for the Metallic Edge line just incredible! I've had mine two years, and it's still good as new!

I think that is just gorgeous. I love the gold on that color.

I have this bag in black and have had it for around two years. The leather is the best out of all the bags I own. It's sooo soft and smells amazing, but I find it wears quite well. It's not as delicate as it feels, but obviously is not as durable as a more rigid leather.

Do you have a bag organiser in this bag? The shape looks amazing, mine has mostly lost it's shape by now but I still love it :biggrin:

I have been wanting to buy a Bal calfskin bag for a while now. I'm not giving up hope yet on the elusive "A" tag, but until then I will be enjoying (and petting) this wonderful bag. Giant Ring "E" tag Smooth/matte calfskin City :love:

Congrats on this amazing bag — wow, gorgeous. I am not sure if I have ever seen this bag before — love the hardware. Enjoy.

Not that I am looking for a new bag, do you recall off the top of your head if it came in a smaller size like City Small etc? thanks

If it did I've never seen it. It's a pretty rare bird in the regular size! I think this is the third one I've seen, or could be the second depending on who @samfalstaff bought it from. :lol:
