Oh YES!! Great choice@Kendie26 Thanks dear! Another bag that I want to be twinsies with you and that is your pleated chanel boy
...he would look FAB on you! I was at Neiman Marcus Chanel boutique this past week with my pleated Boy & I saw a man walk in with a large red Boy bag & he owned the place! everyone was "oooo-ing & ahhh-ing!" I loved it! He was just so cute & so confident carrying his red Boy.....you MUST let me know if/when you get one!! 
Recently I won a bid on ebay of this 2011 seigle work, and I think it was a great deal, because the condition was surprisingly good. I guess the biggest flaw is color fading, but it doesn't effect on its beauty that much IMO
After putting two coats of leather cream(neutral color), it got darkened a little and closer to its original color--such a wonderful neutral Bbag which goes easily with my wardrobe...Can't wait to show off!!View attachment 3514124 View attachment 3514130
Soooooooo beautiful. Both the bag & you!
May I ask you if you have any recommendations for treating a black bag?
Hi annaversary, thank you for your sweet words!
Do you have specific issues with black bag? I don't really baby or treat my bags. Now I am expecting a product called leather honey according to many recommendations here, hoping to darken some of my Bbags. That's the only treatment I will do.

Well, this is my first Balenciaga and I purchased the bag used/pre-owned. I am the 3rd owner. It definitely has been worn a lot and the color has faded a bit. The leather looks like it could use something moisturizing and restoring for sure. Is this 'leather honey' product safe to use on any colored bags? Have you used it on your Balenciagas?
Hi, I just purchased the leather honey on Amazon but haven't received yet. I guess it is very suitable for dark colored bag. Here is the thread where I learnt about the information. Btw, I will let you know after trying it on my bags. Good luck!

Hi annaversary, I tried the leather honey on a few Bbags but my conclusion is that it doesn't get back the original color, especially the dark ones like black. When just applied, the bags look much darker and colors are richer, but when the honey totally dries out, the bags look almost the same. Anyway, it may be a good conditioner to moisturize and protect the leather.
Wearing my new 2016 Metallic Edge Hip in black with SHW
You girls are rock with the balenciaga!!!
I am new to balenciaga.
Just order my 1st one in gris acier.
It’s the metallic edge city in ghw (medium - 38cm width).
P.S. not sure about the real colour - as three websites show different colours in gris acier.
I hope to carry it to work (dressing code: casual smart or casual)or travel overseas.
I am 166cm ...is it a good choice?
I chose it over the small size but then a little bit unsure now as medium cannot wear cross body.

Correct, Medium/38 cm, is a full size City, and the strap is too short, you can't carry it cross-body, but you can swap or add another, spare one (from a different bag, guitar, or simply a chain)
and you've made a great choice colour-hardware wise for your needs (work/travel)
Last photo shows different hardware - silver, that's why probably the perception is different, silver makes the grey look 'cooler'
Great bag, enjoy!!

Oh...yes, I can swap for a longer strap if I need.
Look forward to carrying my 1st bal
Do you think that it’s possible to use the strap of the edge hip (can be detachable, right?) to the regular city? The length of strap is same as small city, which can be worn cross body I guess.Correct, Medium/38 cm, is a full size City, and the strap is too short, you can't carry it cross-body, but you can swap or add another, spare one (from a different bag, guitar, or simply a chain)
