The Balenciaga Motorcycle (thats the right collection name right?) has different styles to it but the same details. The hardware has changed from some reasons, but the RH City has always pretty much been the same. Thats also the style I have in my icon. Mine is a RH Electric Blue City. (Hers shows the back, mine the front)

I know there is an amazing place in Beverly Hills were a lot of people take their designer purses and shoes. It's called Arturo's Shoe Repair...

I would just check out Yelp reviews for a local place.
KathGrace- the bal forum has TONS of info. Most bal ladies do go through LMB to have their bags cleaned, and many have posted results. LMB has their own website as well. I'd say LMB does a fabulous job cleaning handles, and the entire bag has more mixed results. Some ladies have been brave enough lately to redye their own bags! If you check out the care and maintenance thread, you'll see tons of info about cleaning and protecting and refurbishing a balenciaga
And Reynaldo is correct- the bag MK is carrying is part of balenciaga's motorcycle line, and the style is called the city. The moto line has MANY style, and this year they've come out with several more styles! The city is one of the classics, and they come out with it every year, but in different colors. Bal doesn't replicate their colors from year to year. They also have different types of hardware (including "giant" gold and silver hardware and this year -covered hardware) but the regular hardware is classic. MK's bag is pistacho, as mentioned earlier, and I think it's from 2004, but I'm not as on top of the lighter colors. However, for the balenciaga afficionado, bags from 2005 and earlier are highly coveted. Hope that helps!
The bal forum's reference section also has tons of info that can fill you in. Definitely browse around and enjoy drooling over all the gorgeous bags!

What is the point of carrying a $1000 designer handbag if it's dirtier than a 2 yr old or any mutt you come across in the street? Clean your bag!
I think it's awesome that they use their bbags so much and often, but they have the $ to spruce them up a little at least
