Monk Leather Bag

What do you all think about the Balenciage Monk Leather Bag?

I haven't seen one IRL, only on eBay..... but I've heard others say that the leather is porous and the lighter colors can absorb dirt and stains easily. Not 100% sure though.

Not much comments on that bag as i'm not a fan of that style...but i think the leather looks nice to me.....if u really like it, jus go for it as every individual has their own views and liking.....

Pics don't do it justice. I saw this collection of bags last year at Balenciaga NY and it was just amazing.
The large bag in Rouge Vif....yum! The leather is very different and a bit thicker and doesn't drape as much as the Motorcycle bags.

I own this bag, I believe it is monk leather. It is definitely a lot thicker than the arena leather. Its very pretty - really nice leather, but I kind of prefer the silky feel and drape of the arena leather.

What I liked about the one I saw is it had side pockets. I am junky for extra outer pockets for easy access.
