I’m more a fan of off white than white white personally. She looks to be in nice condition!
I don’t see anything alarming but if you want to post on the AT thread for peace of mind feel free!

Thank you. I really do love it. It's beautiful and the perfect size for me. I'll most likely keep it.

OH, I doubt I'll do that (very insecure lol). But I appreciate the suggestion.

How about a pic of the bag hanging up with your stuff in it?

Not gonna lie, the photos don’t come close to capturing the loveliness of this color. Definitely in my top 5 favorite Bal colors. UV city.

Love the colors that are coming through digitally though so I'm sure you're seeing even more loveliness iRL! Maybe another of Lanie's? All of these are so well taken care of!

Well, here is my new-to-me Balenciaga White Lambskin Leather Giant 21 Gold Brief Bag that I just bought from Yoogi's Closet. What do you experts think, is it a keeper? I really wanted a white Bal bag, but it's not as white as I had hoped. More off-white. But beautiful nevertheless. Seems to be in really good condition. No tears or obvious marks at all.

Should I post in the authenticate thread just to be sure? I don't suspect anything wrong, but again, I'm not the expert like you ladies are. Would love your opinions. Thanks!View attachment 5813713View attachment 5813714

It’s really, really hard to make leather pure white and retain the kind of texture Bals have. The lighter the finished color, the more you have to cover up the natural tone of the leather, and to get to straight, photo white the dyes have to be opaque and thick. So the compromise is that your “white” is a little off but your leather doesn’t feel like it’s covered in paint.

That, I can definitely do. Thanks!

Thank you for that explanation. That makes total sense. The leather feels wonderful and soft. The off-white tone doesn't bother me one bit, I was just expecting it to be more white. But now I know that's just not possible. Thank you!

I have that very same bag and mine is very pleasantly textured too

Awesome! I do like the texture and softness of the bag. I can't wait to use it. Still haven't removed the tags though, just want to be 100% sure.

Hey peoples!
Just unpacked something. I'm an Ink virgin, haha. How bad is the fading on this? What would you say? I think I like it. Leather feels very nice. But poor thing was stashed and sealed in a plastic bag...
