I am new in this Balenciaga forum, and for a long time have an alternately on and off interest on the motorcycle bag. I thought it was super cool long time back when I can't afford any designer bag, the college years and the early days of working. Then I thought it does not work with my life and style. I work in professional service firm, and my style is more 'simple chic with a touch of color' -- the B bag feels too edgy for my office hours, too trendy for my casual days. Also I thought that it has passed the hey days and may disappear soon.

But then I saw the new small City ME in dark brown. Tried it and immediately fell in love with it. This also happened during the time that I am looking for an 'autumn' bag, for a bag to excite me up for the upcoming crazy months, a bag to just appreciate what I have accomplished to date this year.

This bag still has an edgy feel, but the leather and the ME give the formal touch, in a way that is classy. The size is just right, the style is perfect --- versatile between handheld/crossbody/shoulder, zipper top is perfect for travel --- leather seemed durable (and smell awesome!).

It took me some time to 'research' whether the bag is outdated or not and the degree of activity in this forum seemed to confirm that it will be there for years to come. Plus, if it has been relevant for the past 10+ years, I guess it has passed the question of relevancy anyway.

So here I am, officially a B bag owner after about 10 years of being a B bag 'stalker'....

Whatever YOU like is relevant, rest is not, here people have (and hunt for) as old bags as 10 +/- years old and they all rock and go strong!
You've made a great choice and picked probably the best bag to begin with!
Welcome and enjoy your new baby!

View attachment 3432297 My First Day! I believe this is Sorbet since it has a 2010 tag. I love the ease of shoulder bags but the jury is still out on this style as it is a rather large and deep bag (I am keeping her for sure but just not sure about another Day yet). Thanks for letting me share. A big Thank You to peacebabe for her help on the authentication thread and also to Kendie for talking me through yet another purchase. Happy Friday, y'all.

Here's my latest loot
https://en-uae.bysymphony.com/balenciaga-classic-mini-edge-iridescent-city-shoulder-bag-52575.html
It has all in one
The classic black 'to-go-with-all' colour
The durable goatskin leather
The shiny iridescent hw
The city style (my first and yet only)

I was watching it for a while, but after i noticed that someone posted in the 'finds' thread i knew i had to hurry... so, without further ado, with LOTS of work, i talked hubby into getting it for our upcoming anny :smile:

Congrats! That is just so pretty. I would love to get something with iridescent hardware -- it's like carrying a little bit of rainbow with you wherever you go. Happy Anniversary too. can't wait to see it.
