thank you dear Loveheart..
really lovely blue bal...
can't hardly wait to have too...
here it is, my first bal. ME Chevre Town in Bleu Roi. i really like the texture of the skin and not annoyed at all with the shiny leather though my SA told me it's gonna fade at the end.
btw anyone has ever professionally coated ME Chevre? My SA told me, with chevre it's better not to apply the Bal Cream as it's not as dry as agneau and it would increase the risk of colour transfer and fading. The salespeople in Balen boutique in my country always recommend to coat it firsthand to the professional, Colorwash which I think a UK franchise. they don't recommend DIY products such as LMB. Please share ur opinion about this as I read but for other brands that professional coating might change the appearance of the skin especially this ME Chevre has that shiny component already
soo without further ado
also, i understand that the slouchiness and wrinkle is what expected out of a Bal but do you gals think this side wrinkle of the bag is too much for a brand new bag? I have it stuffed up already but still could see a very wrinkled leather on one of the side. now i put some extra rounded items to smoothen it more. has anyone tried this and it'd help smoothen the leather?
here is the ring handle part. you could see some spots which look like oxidation. i've polished it with my jewelry cloth with no avail. i have it on my zipper as well. what do you think this is? and you could see from the 2nd pic, indented part of the metal and soft scratches all over that i've mentioned on my previous post. is it normal for a brand new Bal bag? hopefully the pics are clear enough

What a beautiful bag this Sakurai888! Simply stunning!
Does anyone have a picture of the metallic edge one on the shoulder? I would like to see how much it slouches when worn on the shoulder. TIA
Here you go.. Sorry it's sideways. Mine is only 3 weeks old..not so slouchy yet

Hmm... I wont take her as a travel bag, that's for sure! But it's not too bad.
Definitely on the heavier side.. But not as heavy as my Alexander wang rocco.
Heavier than Bal Day.
I'm 5'1 btw , for size reference.
