Hi gal and gents,
I am trying understanding about Balenciaga world, yep still newbie but struggling understanding TPFer and ebay listing talkng about Balenciaga words!!
I am hoping you all helping me to understanding about Balenciaga leather and ensure that we are same ONE language despite I know my LV which is easy!!
"Q. What is the best kind of leather?
Tricky question... it all boils down to personal preference. Some common terms are squishy, buttery, veiny, distressed, dry, smooshy, slouchy, and chewy. The way I see it, it really comes down to the touch – when you touch the bag, does it make you happy? "
as per this thread at http://forum.purseblog.com/balencia...d-me-first-balenciaga-basics-faqs-415607.html
Actually I can't imagine what's mean squishy, buttery, veiny, smooshy, slouchy and chewy without touch maybe based from photo on ebay?
please correct me if I am wrong that;
- squishy & slouchy = broken in = distressed on leather
- buttery & smooshy & chewy = very smooth on leather
- veiny = like felt wrinkle on leather
- warming = is it mean darkening on handle straps or leather on handle straps are stretching(loosen)?
- sticky = is it mean something surface leather is sticky not like darkening colour or new before on handle straps?
also how do you know if you touch body bag's leather to difference thick or thin leather?
because I have city and mini coin purse, are same leathers but don't know which belong thin or thick?
I would be appreciate if you could provide your photo an example with its description?!?
TIA heaps
