Honestly, it is the best leather I've had so far and I have had quite a few Bals !! I love it and it's a keeper ❤

Yeah the leather looks really good. I’m going to research this style a little more, if I find anything else out I’ll let you know!

@Dmurphy1 OK so there's been some iteration of the bowling bag since about 2006 from what I've found. (Not to be confused with the Bowler, apparently that's a different style although the name seems to be used interchangeably so I'm not convinced). I can only find ones that look like yours in the holiday collection, black, and your brown, so it's tough to tell what years they are. The leather on the black ones looks good as well. That's it so far!

Just arrived today, bowler pm in Cigar fonce I think ? My question for you balenciaga ladies is what year did this come out and this leather is so thick and gorgeous, I find it hard to believe it's lambskin. Any info would be much appreciated !! View attachment 4906829

What an adorable bag!!! Can't help with the exact colour name or year, but I'm thinking the leather on this one is Camel (Cameau), and if so, then Ceejay will be the one fill in the rest since she has/had the most amazing collection of these bags

Camel? Like the animal camel? Bal made camel bags?

Yes, camel
I believe it is a super tough leather like the Caribou (deer) bags.
Lolz, I was just at the beach the other day walking the dogs & they were doing camel rides
(Soz...I had to delete the pic as it had my phone number on the dog tag)

I'm amazed that I've never heard of camel before! Off to do some research, thanks for the info!

Wow, needless to say, I've never heard of this either, but the leather looks different from any Bal bags I've seen !!

I pulled the trigger on another beautiful Balenciaga bag!! So now I have two coming... hopefully they will both be here by the week’s end. Btw, I just love these forums. I look forward to going on TPF everyday! Grateful for all of you here.
