Neo Classic Small..with feet?!

[pheebspurse]

Went to Holt Renfrew last week and noticed the newer (?) model of the Neo Classic City has a somewhat slouchier grained leather, thicker strap, and feet! I haven't seen this color online, and the ones I found online (Farfetch has one in beige) was called exactly the same as the one without the feet and thinner strap. I didn't get the chance to take a pic of the tags but will do so should I visit the mall again sometime

I was set to get the all black in small size but this particular model got me thinking twice! Anyway, I'm new to Balenciaga so anyone could shed a light as to why they have variations of specs within the same size are more than welcomed. Thanks for letting me share!

I just noticed that the black croc version at Nordstrom has feet too!

oh that's lovely!! I think with silver/gold hardware it wouldn't tarnish so easily. I had my heart set on the black hardware and saw that Neiman Marcus has one. Unfortunately, I think black hardware will be prone to showing obvious sign of wear on the hardware. I ended up picking the one w/o the feet!

In case anyone's interested, Neiman Marcus has several color options with the feet! I also think that judging from the picture, the ones with the feet seems to have more relaxed/ slouchy leather (except the mock croc!) and slightly thicker strap

I just returned to the balenciaga scene. These look pretty structured compared to the old style of city bags. I like it, actually satchel-like.
