Here’s some more pics. The metallic silver was SO bad. Like awful.

Green had the puffy leather and was softest of the bunch.

are you trying to save me money? I appreciate it

Yeah I saw these bags in person yesterday in the Philpps Plaza Balenciaga store, the leather on the metallic silver was the worst I ever felt. The green one was the softest and puffier than the other colors.

Did you see the yellow? If so how would you describe the colour IRL?

They didn’t have yellow. Just the ones in the photos I posted.

Thanks for the photos @fayden.
Can't imagine anybody hunting for one of these like crazy in 20 years...

Me and muchy were just saying maybe in 10 years after ppl break them in, but that may be too soon. Maybe in 50 years!! 🤣🤣🤣

OK, thanks. I love green, but that's not 'my' green. In fact I think I gave away a Prada bag in a similar green. I love white too, but I have quite a few white and ivory bags.

Lol, I don't expect the heavy coating to last that long. 😂

Yeah, doesn’t deserve to be in the same space.

What we need is a Time Machine.

Looks like the handles of the green display bag are already showing wear/fading; pretty soon look like they'll start peeling, too.

I've seen the yellow
It's a very lovely, calm, soft pastel yellow

Until I read your caption, I was like, "huh, that's not too bad and it comes with a cute charm - I'm gonna need to be extra careful now when I look for an 03/04 Black..." then was like...

New Le City size comparison for new City people (5'.5"). Med and Small. Weirdly, now I'm looking in the photo the Small doesn't look so odd.

Small looked a bit 'dinky' on me IRL. I'm not usually into med bags but this looks good. Very light for this size bag too.

A little bit stiffer than originals, and yes I bought the hated silver (in the Med) good with the rain though and I live in the UK so that's a total bonus.
