Welcome and congratulations on realizing a dream!
So lovely and clean! Congrats!!
Bleu Persan City. To date the most impossible color to capture. It’s way more blue than shows in the picture, with a hint of gray and teal.
The color is beautiful and ever-shifting. The leather is pretty gross, if I’m being honest. It feels painted, like color was slapped on top as opposed to dyed and soaked through. The leather texture is similarly uninspiring. I can see being perfectly happy with it, if this were your first Balenciaga or you didn’t have a thing for yummy leathers. But given my expectation of Bal leathers, this one doesn’t measure up. But it’s near pristine and I got it for super cheap and plan to keep it. See how it wears.
Also metallic pink small wallet, which I’m beyond happy with. Also hard to capture the color and metallic finish. iPhone camera is the worst.

This blue reminds me of the 03 Blue Jean blue. Photographs gray unless standing on your head outdoors at precisely 4:12 PM on a sunny afternoon.
And the crazy color changing iPhone camera. Often if I take the picture from too far away, and later zoom in on the resulting photo, the color will look almost the same as real life. Sometimes.

The second photo was from afar and zoomed in. Color is still off. The person I bought this from did not have a crappy camera and came much closer to capturing the color. This is from the listing.This blue reminds me of the 03 Blue Jean blue. Photographs gray unless standing on your head outdoors at precisely 4:12 PM on a sunny afternoon.

Ahhh.. yep color looks prettier and more blue in her photo. This is why it's so hard to get a realistic shot. When I sell something I carry the bag all over the place, inside, outside, shade, sun.. Even in the same exact spot, changing angle, can change the color. To be fair it's not only the crappy cameras, these bags are notorious for playing games with light. So I guess when we buy something it's the same crapshoot, often a surprise when we open the shipping box.
