Haha!! Thanks LS!! I want more, is that bad???Omg! You have it in every colour! You naughty girl you!
Thanks for the great replay. Wow they have been around since 05, embarrassing. Hope you will find your Velo, it is my favorite style from Balenciaga. Years ago, I used to alternate between reissues and velos... I am disappointed with my last Chanel purchase (Gabrielle) and I'm in search of something new and inspiring.You've never seen these bags before? They've been around since 05. They're heavier than Balenciaga with regular hardware....I'd say closer to Bal with giant hardware. Rebecca currently does not make these bags anymore and so these were all purchased from Mercari, eBay, Poshmark, and The Real Real. These are what we call 'old school' Morning After Bag (MAB)....which were meant for being almost like an overnight bag. There are 'mini' (MAM) versions which are slightly smaller than these, which are still very roomy, but I just prefer the look of the full sized original MAB satchel. These old school (O/S) bags have the best leathers!! Very sought after by us 'Minkette's'!! Much more sturdy than Balenciaga leather which can be thin. I've had several Balenciaga bags over the years but I've sold them all off (although I wouldn't mind getting a newer Chevre Velo metallic edge bag in light blue with silver hardware!). I hope you find one and love it!! If you need any help, reach out to us!!
The Velo is the only style Balenciaga that I'm really drawn to because it's big without being oversized...it's the depth that makes the difference! I keep hearing about Chanel's quality going downhill...that's too bad...these are not cheap bags!!! I actually prefer vintage Chanel myself....specifically something in caviar leather but not necessarily the flap. I like the more obscure styles. Good luck with your search!!!
That evergreen really stands out for me! Wow! Great collection!Thank you @Shelby33 !! It's probably my favorite MAB in my collection!!
Wait, evergreen? Hunter? I can't remember. The green one!
Yes, it could be called either/or....I don't know the official name but the leather on it is so amazing! Evenly pebbled all over!!
WOW! Love your collection! The almond and the berry (sorry, not sure of color names) are stunning!
Aside from 3 black bags: Berry, Sage, Evergreen?, gold, Royal BBW, glazed almond. But I really need to do an updated photo so thanks for bumping this thread...I'll try to do that this weekend!!Can you tell us the colors of the bags from left to right or vice versa?
