Chanced upon a black Ballerine for sale (not the petite one) and was surprised not to see a top zip. If anyone has any experience with this bag, would you know if this is an older design? I remember even the men's version of this bag had a top zip.

I’ve never heard of a Ballerine without a zipper, but I could be wrong.

I assumed it was a ballerine, but the bag I posted a link to from Vestiaire back on page 200 is about 35cm across and no zipper.
 
Oh no! :tdown::sad: I'll be in London at the beginning of March, so I won't be there in time to buy at old prices. :crybaby: Did you happen to see any Gaby BBs at the boutique? How big are the prices increases in £? Thanks.
The price increase is not a fixed percentage all around, some increased, some not. But now palladium hardware and gold are at the same price. They have aligned palladium price to the gold price. So Gaby BB did increased if you had your eyes on palladium hardware but not if you had your eyes on gold hardware...
 
Gorgeous bag!!! I’ve always though of myself as a shw gal, but that ghw is making me think twice. :loveeyes: Congratulations!!!!
If you happen to chat with Curtis in the next few days, would you mind asking him if Yuliya, one of the SAs, had her baby? If so, did she have a boy or girl? I have her work email address but I don’t want to bother her on her maternity leave. Please only ask if you are okay with broaching the subject. I can always check with her in a month or so. Thanks!

I’m questioning this one. Mind you, I could be wrong, but I desired a Ballerine for years and scoured the internet for photos years ago.
Of the photos I’ve seen throughout the years, all have zippers and are made from a saffiano like leather that is very structured.
I don’t have a Vestiaire account, so I couldn’t see the bag’s details, but the bag looks quite warped, yet the ball henge looks right. About four or five years ago, the Ballerine cost at least $3500, so the original retail price on the Vestiaire Ballerine seems low.
I don’t know. I’m just giving my opinion. Best of luck.

Yuliya had her baby girl on Valentine’s Day! Haven’t seen a photo yet.

The hinge, lining, and stamp on the hardware look right (although I am unsure if that's the location of the hardware stamp on current Ballerines). Could this possibly be a pre-production sample? I believe the Ballerine was in the original collection when the brand relaunched. The lack of zipper and the side straps are inconsistent with any version I have ever seen.

Possibly pre-production. Yes, the Ballerine was an original from the relaunch. I looked up the men’s tote version (larger) and the leather looks consistent with the photos I’ve found. Maybe the lower original price means it’s a sample or possibly a zipper-less prototype. Hmmmmmmmm ...

Ah, well it may well be dodgy, I really don’t know enough to tell. I saw a very definitely fake Birkin on there recently so I’d be cautious of Vestiaire anyway. The retail price if you go into the listing says €4200 and I like the slouchy leather. No plans to buy it though as not a practical size for me anyway (besides the fact that I really can’t buy anymore bags right now!). Just thought it may be a Ballerine without a zipper.
