[Veronika]

I'm so sorry, I did a search and I know it's here, but can't find this color, I believe it's 2009 Ciel or Sky Blue.... could someone please confirm.... I have't bought a bag in a year, but I have bought an olive and praline porte monnaie..... just starting bal collection.... This was bought pre-loved from Anne's does anyone know if it's Ciel?

Thank you and I'm sorry I just couldn't find a post...

I love blue bal, but I've heard some light blue colors will fade.

 

[Veronika]

Thank you, yes it will probably fade, but in my world, that's okay....

 

[Veronika]

I keep looking at the reference threads, and the best I can come up with is Ciel....

Yes, it's a really good condition Ciel.... Erica's Ciels' look more grey.... but, that must be what this is.....

Eeks, sorry, I misread your post: that will teach me, it's too late for me to read properly anymore!

It looks like a Sky Blue. Gorgeous!

I PMed you about how I keep mine from fading.

Such a pretty blue! Congrats! I love Balenciaga blues!

Skyblueday - can you share your secrets??

 

[SkyBlueDay]

^^^ Sure thing! I sprayed my Sky Blue day with Collonil waterproofer and sunprotection spray.

The sun is what seems to alter the colour of pale blue Bal Motos.

While my day has faded the tiniest bit after a year of use, the spray did not change the colour or the texture of the leather. And when the waiter spilled green curry on it, it was unmarked.

Wow, I'm buying some Collonil! Thanks Skyblueday.... there's something about sky blue leather that I'm crazy about. Have a pair of sky blue and ostrich cowboy boots,,, this is gonna look hot with them! I'm so excited! Thanks Skyblueday for making my day skyblue

You're very welcome! I get my Collonil from the local shoe repair stall in the shopping centre.

It comes in a spray and a lotion: use the spray for your bag.

And Apple Guard ( I get mine from the Bal store where I get my new bags) it, but only if your new bag has leather that does not feel suede-like, if you can , before you spray it.

Otherwise the spray alone is good protection.

Thanks Balgirlz! So glad getting a city for my first balbag....
