Is there a pic attached?
So, if, according to the post I quoted, this style was in TJ Max by 2012, it was probably a 2011 style. We don't have TJ Max in Canada, is it outlet? It wasn't any earlier than 2011 based on the tag.
Yes, I've attached the photo. still blurry.

TJ Maxx is an overstock reseller. Most of their stock is not high end, but I've heard some locations carry premium brands.

So that may mean it wasn't a big seller and went to TJ Max fairly quickly? I think it's pretty cool myself.

I've never seen it here. Both times I've seen these was from a seller in Japan. I think the gold mesh accent, especially the part woven into the handles, is pretty cool.

But man, it needs a rub down. The glazing is a dirt and smudge magnet and magnifier.

I bet. I found one on FP, one from Rakuten, one from Oliver's Jewellers, and there was mention that one was seen on Yoogis.
 
Some of you lovely experts helped me identify an older Balenciaga style called the Metallica a few weeks ago. I ended up purchasing one for what I think is a fairly reasonable price (at least compared to what everyone else was charging) and condition. She arrived today, and I'm in love! The color is this deep chocolately brown that is slightly iridescent in the light.

There’s only one thing in the world I love more than Balenciaga, and it’s Metallica. So this photo is my idea of heaven.

I've seen a few City bags in a Runway TJ Maxx. (Maybe 5 years ago.) Can't remember if it was Black or Anthra and exactly how past season it was. All I remember was how dry and thin the leather felt- I was carrying my Vert Gazon Work and there was just no comparison.

Oh, is that the large size or the medium? I just ordered mine from a Japanese seller, it is a brown medium (not sure of the official color name). I'll post when I get mine!
Mine is the large size. I couldn’t use the medium. I need the large one to carry my laptop and to wear over the shoulder.
