By the way, I was in Venice last weekend and the boutique said the vibrato is not sold through the balenciaga boutiques as none of the boutiques in Italy have it. Most likely it's only available at retailers or online. She wrote down the name of the bag as Classic Palladium Vibrato Veau Grainee
 
Hi all, I'm posting some mod shots of my Vibrato City. Here are some things I've noticed:
1. I have worn the bag every single day since I got her and the leather is wearing very well. It is getting softer and slouchier. The quality of the grained calf is amazing. While it is matte (as opposed to shiny lambskin), it is developing a bit of sheen to it from being touched so often. The black color is really deep and very saturated.
2. While there has been much talk about the leather in this thread, I want to point out the hardware, which is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. It is palladium, which is a bright silvery white metal related to the platinum family (but softer than platinum) and is non-tarnishing. It really stands out against the pebbled leather. I hope the pictures capture that. I have been very happy with the bag so far, and it is definitely inspiring a desire in me to collect more bals (I'm looking for oldie firsts now). :smile:
3. If you need a hard-wearing bag for work or serious hardcore weekends :smile:, I think this bag makes an excellent choice. IMG_2542.jpg IMG_2596.jpg

The purchase button is now back on DF. Just ordered the black classic !! Can't wait to receive it.
Yay! Thanks so much for the update! I just clicked order too! Was planning to wait until the end of this month but that "contact us" buttom freaked me out so much, I'm just going to order first and save it until October to use.

Thanks! I know. I should mention that the bag is still pretty full in that slouch shot, so it actually squishes more when I have less stuff in it.

Also, just generally speaking and as someone brand new to the Bals, I cannot believe how perfect the City size is -- for me, anyway. I can see and reach everything at a glance.

Can't wait to see your reveal!
