Hi Hi! I am looking to get my very first Balenciaga 😁 but still don't really know a whole lot about the differences in all the various styles!
At first I was thinking of getting a first because I really like the way it looks, but then I realized that the shoulder strap isn't long enough to wear crossbody (which is kinda what I was looking for)
Then I went into my local balenciaga boutique to look at town and my SA ended up bringing out the velo too. I looked at town in black and velo in cumin and immediately feel in love with the velo because of the color. My SA said that they don't have town in that color so right now I'm leaning toward velo because of the color. And I want to be able to wear my bag on my shoulders with the top handles and was thinking maybe the town is a little too small to be worn that way (at least it felt small when I tried it on and the bag was empty so not sure how it'd be with stuff in it)
Because I'm so new to balenciaga, I'm wondering do they make all styles in all colors? Is it possible to get a town in cumin later on? My SA said that color is rare (?) and they don't get very many of them so when they do it sells out fast!
Also, I see lots of posts about bags from different years and the different colors... Do the colors change every season/year? How do you know which year your bag is from? Are the bags that I'm currently looking at 2013 because that's the year we're in? Or could it be a 2012?!
Sorry for all the questions (and for the long post!)... As you can see, I know very little about balenciaga... Any help/input would be greatly appreciated!
