I have bought 5 things this week, but it will probably take a while before they are here.
Waiting for:
Until they are here I can share three purchases that I haven’t shared yet (I think).
Any help here with correct names is appreciated since not even the SA really knew the style or size name
the website is so weird with these ”new classic city”. I know this is pebbled calfskin and black hardware, but their sizing system is confusing me.
A tiny mini mini First. CeeJay actually helped me authenticate it short before her death last year.
Black Shoulder in chevre that I got this week from VC.
Waiting for:
- 2003 Caramel First
- 2005 Rouge Theatre First
- 2004 Marigold City (CeeJay’s collection)
- 2008 Vert Thyme City (CeeJay’s collection)
- 2004/2005 orange Planet/Boobie (CeeJay’s collection)

To be filed under “what the hell am I going to do with this other than paw and squeeze it”. Navy color but no idea what it’s called. Shape and size are much like the small messenger, except super puffy quilted and studded. Love!
Looks super cuddly, loving it. I've seen those floating around lately. At first I thought they were Valentino
It looks Proenza Schoulerish to me, since they have some overstuffed super puffy bags, though they're not quilted like this. I covet the hell out of those too.Looks super cuddly, loving it. I've seen those floating around lately. At first I thought they were Valentino
Thanks!Beautiful!
The Neo Classic City looks like the small size. They also have a XS, mini, and nano which is probably not a whole lot bigger than your new bag charm.
Is the XS a newer size than Small?
I remember stalking the Balenciaga store and feeling like Goldilocks when the smallest bag was too small and the size up was too big
we get a very limited selection of items and the store can’t order or chose what they want.After some months the SA was super excited and told me there was a new size, but ut wasn’t in store. I thought I would order online but the website was so confusing with the sizing (the inches/cm were also wrong, had same numbers for two different sizes…) so I kept on stalking the store.
The store finally got three in that size and it was the perfect size for me, just like the SA had said. He was so proud when I went into the store and it was a great fit lol.
I actually didn’t want black hardware, I wanted to go with the brass. But after all the effort to only find the right size I felt I didn’t care enough to wait for brass studs to maybe pop up in the right size
But now I am very happy with the black hardware, it is a little unique and I only have one Marc Jacobs black that is black with black hardware.
Anyway, I measured the base and I guess it is the XS size I have? (25cm is about 10in?)
Yes, looks like you have the XS. Looks just like this one on Bal's website, and the measurements are pretty close.Thanks!

Finally couldn’t let this baby go. Needs a little of love but she’s still fully saturated. Pinks are not my fav but this leather is beyond words beautiful
