I have so much love for this bag. That pic was taken when I first got it. It is much smooshier now and has acquired a sheen to it from so much wear. Only complaint is the shoulder strap. I found a crossbody strap for it which I use more than the shoulder one, which I find almost useless except during an emergency hands-free moment. The vibrato shoulder strap slips off more easily than the chevre ones, if that is even possible!

Do you use it with the weight distributer? If so, try pushing it to the back of the strap (down your back) and just using the thinner strap. It helps with some of my Bals.

I have tried that, too. Still slippery. I think it pertains to the leather itself. You would think that those pebbles supply some grip, but they don't seem too. Might be also because the bag is much heavier than my Mogano chevre city. That bag stays put much easier and is much lighter.

That's frustrating. I wonder if there's something you can add to that part of the strap so it grips better...maybe a cobbler could tell you? Maybe a small portion of the strap with a suede backing or something?

Suede is a good idea... I will think about that. I have enjoyed carrying it by the handles (great arm carry) and also as a crossbody.

Are y’all ready to see the bag of my dreams which just arrived minutes ago?! :girlsigh: Welcome to my Balenciaga family, S/S 2015 City in Rose Berlingot. Photos simply do not do this bag justice! The colour is divine, and I’m surprised how great the leather is on this particular bag. And the best part? She’s in GREAT condition and I paid only $600 CAD for her. :yahoo:
