NOVEMBER - DECEMBER and NY new scores and treasures!

[Kimbashop]

Thanks to tPF and all of the wonderful threads, reference pics, and authenticators I pulled the trigger on a Weekender GSH in Vert Fonce. The boards kept saying it was an olive green/brown color but the listing pics looked beautiful but straight up brown. I decided to trust tPF and make a bid for it...Well, it arrived today and it is in fact the most wonderful shade of dark olive green and looks like it has dark brown undertones. It’s delicious soft leather and the handles are long enough to pass the elbow test! I’m so excited!! Here it is with some mod shots for people trying to gauge sizes, an elbow test pic, and a pic with an LV Cabas Mezzo for color comparison. So happy that the front pocket is huge...just wish the inside pocket was bigger as well, it’s pretty tiny. I’m 5’8” for size reference.

Congrats on finding this beauty! Vert Fonce is a coveted leather and color.

THIS is my newest reveal. What do you all think? I had to post all photos so you can really admire this 2005 S/S APPLE GREEN CITY with PEWTER hardware! I’m sooooooo grateful for my sweet, amazing friend in Texas who sent this unicorn my way knowing my love for Balenciaga bags. The first pic was taken in natural light and represents the vibrant colour the best. The rest were taken under artificial lighting in my bedroom. I’m just stunned. The corners are not worn, the handles not warmed, chèvre is perfectly distressed and slouchy - this bag is PRISTINE.

Wow, Wow, Wow .

You are RighT — your friend in TX is certainly the sweetest and most amazing person . Huge Congrats to you — looking forward to seeing you carrying this beauty .
